The tournament will be run through the app, so it is advised that you download it on your phone after signing up.
To keep the party going, Peppinos has invited the Grand Rapids Gold to attend. Guests will be able to to meet the players and shoot hoops in Peppino's parking lot for prizes.
DJ KBones will return from last year's party to provide music. MC Eric Zane, the voice of the Grand Rapids Griffins and Grand Rapids Drive will be on the mic.
