15th Aquarius X-Mas Tournament
Dear friends,
2020 will be a year to remember, and unfortunately the main reason for it will be the Coronavirus. As we are speaking, the problem still hasn’t been solved, but in many countries, progress is made. We hope that you and your families are safe, that’s what counts the most for the time being.
As we are confident that normal life will be possible again in the coming months, we are working hard on the organization of the 15th Aquarius X-Mas Tournament in Kortrijk. In the past years, we hosted the better teams from over 30 different countries, including the United States and Canada, and we will work hard to keep our standards from the past, focusing on offering the highest possible standards both on and off the courts.
For granting the highest possible competition level, the tournament is only open for teams playing on the highest competition level in their respective countries, for basketball academies and for national and regional selections.
An important point to take into consideration this year:
As we don’t know how the situation will evolve in the coming months, we keep all options open. In the best case, we organize as usual. In case we are restricted by the health issue, we will limit the number of participants, and only host teams from ‘safe’ countries. In the worst case, we will only accept Belgian teams. All registrations will, by then, be provisional, till the situation is clear.
