Effective date: May 15, 2026

These Terms of Service govern your use of The Tourney List, located at thetourneylist.com. By accessing or using the website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Purpose of the website

The Tourney List is an online youth basketball tournament directory designed to help parents, coaches, team directors, tournament organizers, and families find and compare basketball tournaments. The site may provide tournament information such as event names, dates, locations, grade levels, gender divisions, skill levels, organizer names, registration links, and other related details.

We do not run most listed tournaments

Unless clearly stated otherwise, The Tourney List does not own, operate, manage, sanction, or control the tournaments listed on the site. Tournament organizers are responsible for their own registration process, schedules, rules, fees, refund policies, age or grade requirements, team eligibility, venues, insurance, safety policies, cancellations, changes, and communications with registered teams.

Before registering for any tournament, you should confirm all details directly with the tournament organizer.

Accuracy of tournament information

We work to make tournament information useful and accurate, but tournament details can change without notice. The Tourney List does not guarantee that any tournament listing is complete, current, accurate, available, or suitable for your team. You are responsible for verifying all information before registering, paying fees, booking travel, or making scheduling decisions.

No endorsement

A tournament listing, link, mention, featured placement, or advertisement on The Tourney List does not mean that we endorse, recommend, certify, or guarantee the tournament, organizer, venue, team, or service. Users should make their own decisions before participating in any event.

By submitting tournament information or other content, you give The Tourney List permission to review, edit, display, remove, publish, and use that content in connection with the website. We may choose not to publish a submission, and we may edit or remove listings at any time.
