A Gus Macker is a 3-on-3 half court basketball tournament played in communities all over the nation. The tournament is designed for basketball players who love the fun of the driveway game. Whether you are male or female, age 7 to 70, experienced or not, there is a spot for you. Teams will be placed into divisions based upon their age and experience.  Junior divisions are broken down into ages 10 & under, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16 and 17-18. Adult divisions (19 & Over) are computer matched according to average age, height and playing experience of all four players. 30 and over divisions are divided into 30-34, 35-39 and 40 and over. The Top Divisions are comprised of the teams with the most experienced level of play. Players compete to win the Macker Trophy – a bronze bust of Macker Man. Teams that lose their first two games compete to win in the consolation bracket dubbed “The Toilet Bowl”.

To keep the games clean and friendly, registered officials will be on every court calling fouls and violations.
