Dear Coaches,

Due to an issue with a team roster and the adjoining state rule, the NCAA has denied the Kentucky HoopFest certification for one (1) year.  This denial has not affected any other "Certified" events held by Eddie Ford during the 2012 basketball season.

Bryan Alexander, USA EXPOSURE EVENTS, is holding a girls Adidas National Championship tournament July 9-11, 2012 at the Kentucky Fair and Expo Center and is using Eddie Ford's courts and goals.  Bryan will be holding the USA BLUEGRASS BASKETBALL CLASSIC (Boys), July 18-22, 2012 and the event is NCAA CERTIFIED.

Both the USA Bluegrass Classic and the Adidas National Championship will be conducted and ran with the same tournament court set-up as the Kentucky HoopFest in previous years.  This year's tournaments will each have 18 courts in one location, the Kentucky Expo Center.  The tournaments will host teams from over 30 states, Canada, and Australia and attract a large number of college coaches.

We encourage and invite all teams to participate in both of these outstanding tournaments.

                                                                                                 Eddie Ford
