BAM Jam gets national attention

In case you missed it, SLAM Magazine was in Boise to cover this summer's tournament. The article and the tournament are getting great reviews.

Check it out for yourself by clicking here or going to www.slamonline.com/online/media/slam-tv/2010/08/a-perfect-beginning/

There is also a great video that goes through the tournament, gives some interviews and does a great job of capturing the feel of BAM Jam.

A big thanks to Ryne Nelson, the online editor of SLAM, for coming out from New York and checking out the event.

BAM Jam Champions - 2010 Summer

Here are the bracket champions from the 2010 Fast Eddy's Summer BAM JAM. Each bracket champion received champions T-shirts, thanks to Flashpoint Screen Printing (click here to check 'em out).

Overall Men's Elite Champions - STADIA Legends
The STADIA Legends (Chris Allen, Ryan McCarthy, Dan Mcfaul, Wade Joseph) are the first BAM Jam team to repeat as Men's Elite Champions. They won their first title in 2008. There were two men's elite brackets. The two bracket champions then faced off in the Finals for the overall championship.

The finals locked up Bodybuilding.com and STADIA. Bodybuilding.com cruised through their bracket, winning all four of their first games. STADIA, however, took a much different route. Thye lost their first game of the tournament and had to battle their way through the loser's bracket.  But 8 straight wins later they made it to the finals. And after win number 9 they captured the 2010 title.

But can their outdoor success translate to indoors? We'll see next Spring when BAM Jam goes back indoors for the spring version. There is very limited room so if you would like advanced noticed and a chance to get your team in before the general public, send an email to service@idahoselect.org with the subject: Spring BAM Jam Registration to be put on our early registration list.
