The Indiana Basketball Coaches Association and the IHSAA partner to make the showcase a scholastic event under the NCAA allowing Division 1 coaches to attend.

Teams typically play four games, but some teams do choose a one-day option which is just two games. Each game is a regulation 32-minute stop-clock game.

Teams are assigned pool based on competitive play, regardless of whether a team's coach selects the one-day or two-day option. Organizers also try to avoid teams playing opponents they typically play during the regular season.

The three-day boys' event begins at noon June 21 with final games starting at 4:00 p.m. June 23. Games are at Carmel High School and Westfield High School.

Both events are open to the public. Admission is $10 per day for adults, $5 per day for students (ages 6 to 17) and free for children (5 and younger).
