2012 CBL National Tournament

 

This is an historic basketball tournament event!

The Community Basketball Leagues is hosting the first "Million Dollar - $1,000,000.00" charity basketball tournament in the history of amateur/recreational based basketball. Thousands of teams and players from every state in the US will participate in what will soon to be the most talked about amateur basketball tournament.

The mission of the CBL is to positively impact people, communities, and businesses and our million dollar tournament will give the players something to play for and instill a spirit of giving back and community pride.

Players that play in the CBL tournaments and leagues are considered amateur status and are not compensated financially. One hundred percent of the million dollar donation money will be given to 501c3 non-profit organizations selected by the CBL tournament committee, in the communities of the championship teams.

The CBL National Tournament is an amateur based basketball tournament. The teams/players will be able to select up to three organizations in their community that they would like for a portion of the donation money to go to. The funds will be given to non-profit organizations at a special ceremony on each team’s behalf and each player from each division championship team will "also" receive a custom designed CBL National Champions ring!
