Which design direction do you want on this spring's shirt?

Fast Eddy's Spring BAM Jam wants to give you the chance to vote on which direction you would like us to go for this spring's t-shirts.

For the last 5 years, Jason Martinez and The Martinez Method, has designed our shirts for the spring and summer tournaments, including the participant shirts and the champion's shirts.

It isn't easy coming up with new ideas every year but he always comes through.

For this spring, here are the two directions that we can go and we want you to pick. Vote each day through Sunday, March 2 at 5:00 PM Mountain Time. From there we will take the winner and create the final version of this spring's shirt.

Keep in mind that these are just sketches. The final creation will be a crisp two color version laid out on an actual shirt. Click on an image to enlarge.

There will be fun things for the whole family, including a chance to win a new 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 from Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge. Also at the check in there will be a preliminary round of the Mybullfrog 3-Point Challenge.

Plus, there going to be music and some great food.

Brackets are Posted

It took us most the night but we now have brackets posted online at www.idahoselect.org/brackets.shtml. Please keep in mind that these are tentative. The final brackets will be given out at team check in on Thursday, March 11 at the Port of Subs on Benjamin and Emerald in Boise from 4-8 PM.

Teams, it is mandatory for you to check in at the Port of Subs. Don't worry, they have a special $5.99 foot long special menu for us! At team check in you will not only get your final brackets but also your team t-shirts and you can make final player changes. Bring cash for the changes because we won't be able to take credit cards.

If you see a problem with the bracket you are in please send an email to jmdewolfe@gmail.com and cc: vince@idahoselect.org.

Team Captains! Please read

Just a reminder, if you are the team captain (Player 1 on the registration form) you should receive a team verification email. It is absolutely critical that you review the information in this email and make any corrections necessary.

The most important items: be sure that your team is in the correct age group (youth, high school or adult), gender (male, female or co-ed), team height (N/A for youth, 6'0 and under, 6'0 and over) and division (youth, recreational, competitive or elite).

From there be sure that your team members all meet the requirements of your division (if you are in a high school division all players should be in high school, if you are in a co-ed gender bracket you should have at least one boy or girl, if you are 6'0 and under everyone should be under 6'0, etc.)

This is so important because this is how we bracket all teams. What may seem like a simple typo could affect the teams you play against. We rely on your accuracy to evenly match up teams.

If you see a mistake, simply respond to the email with the corrections. We'll take if from there.

If you have not received a verification email (it should be sent to you within 10 minutes of completing your registration) please send an email to service@idahoselect.org with your team name, captain's name and captain's email address.

Other information that is important: Player's 2-4 email addresses (BAM Jam does all communication through email so this should be accurate) and team t-shirt sizes.

Other notes: if you need to add/delete/change a player you can do so via the "PLAYER CHANGE" form available under the "Play" link on the main page.

The normal registration deadline is March 5. However, we are currently on pace to sell out early so if you are considering getting a team in, you may want to register ASAP. The Fast Eddy's BAM Jam is March 13 at Taco Bell Arena.
