A basketball tournament is a competitive event where teams play against each other to win a championship. These tournaments can vary in size, from local leagues to international competitions, and often feature a series of games leading to a final match. Teams are usually organized into brackets, and the winners advance until a champion is determined. Participants in a basketball tournament include players, coaches, and referees. The games are played on a basketball court, and each team aims to score points by shooting a basketball through the opponent's hoop. Tournaments can be held in schools, communities, or professional leagues, attracting fans and promoting sportsmanship.
