A Gus Macker Tournament is designed for basketball players who love the fun of the driveway game—male or female, age 8 to 50-plus, short and tall, the most experienced or those with little or no experience who just want to play.

Why: To continue to grow this community focused fun yet competitive 3 on 3 basketball tournament. Proceeds are given to five designated non-profit recipients that focus on local youth athletics and mentorship.

Teams receive at least three scheduled games.

Macker is a double-elimination tournament, but with a consolation bracket historically called “The Toilet Bowl” for teams that lose the first two games. Toilet bowl trophies are coveted.

Family fun, in a festival atmosphere, is always the goal of a Gus Macker. It proudly serves as the most popular basketball tournament for outdoor play on downtown streets, parking lots and community parks across the country.
