From Court To The Sidelines: Parents Pass The Tradition


For the past 8 years BAM Jam has been a co-ed event that welcomes participants of all ages and abilities, making it an ideal opportunity to get the whole family involved. The Allen and Sailors families have taken full advantage of this opportunity as both Chris Allen and Leah Sailors compete every year with their families.

For the Allens, Chris’s brother, Corey, comes to town from Spokane to take part in the tournament, and his wife and children also often compete in their respective age groups. With the Sailors, Leah competes on the women’s side and also has children who participate.

We had the pleasure of speaking with Chris and Leah about their BAM Jam experiences and learn more about the basketball families!

How to bracket a tournament

"Trust is built with consistency." --Lincoln Chafee

When brackets are released each summer and spring, we often get the questions, “How were teams seeded?”, “Why does this team get a first round bye?”, “Why is there so much time between games?” and more. 


After running 15+ large scale tournaments, we’ve learned a few things about logistics, game mapping and more. At this point in BAM Jam’s history, the teams have played before and keep coming back have learned to trust our judgement and believe we are doing the best we can for their experience.
