Note: While Buffalo Run DGC offers numerous basket selections, the official decision was made to keep the one layout for all rounds to provide the most scoring separation. With a tournament this big, we want to make sure everyone has ample opportunity to practice and prepare for the tournament and their focus to only be on one layout!
