Conference Carolinas Announces New Format for Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championship Tournament
HIGH POINT, NC - Conference Carolinas, along with the
Cabarrus Arena and Events Center, are pleased to unveil their new
championship format for the Conference Men’s and
Women’s Basketball Tournament to be held on March 5 & 6,
2014. Conference Carolinas is offering FREE ADMISSION, with a
donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, for fans who attend the
event.
For the first time in over a decade, the final four teams, for
both men and women, will play at a neutral site. The new format
aims to create an exciting championship event for the eight teams
and fans in attendance.
“We are so excited to have a neutral site basketball
championship for the league again," stated Brook Patterson,
Associate Commissioner for Conference Carolinas. "For the
last eleven years we have had our basketball championships hosted
by different member schools and we hope by bringing everyone here
together more centrally (in Concord, NC), we can provide an
extraordinary experience for our student-athletes and fans."
In past years, the conference championship tournament operated
under a higher seed format where the lower seeded team would travel
to opposing colleges to play. The new format will not only house
the top games in one location but allow greater opportunity for
both institutions’ fans to attend.
The Conference Carolinas Tournament will kick off on March 1,
2014 with quarter-final games being held at higher seeds.
Conference Carolinas is adding a banquet and ceremony for teams
that qualify for the tournament.

Carolinas Basketball Tournament Website.
