Ballroom Tournament
Everyone knows the Battle 4 Atlantis, one of the premier early-season tournaments with several upper-tier programs. No one knows The Islands of the Bahamas Showcase. It wasn’t mentioned in Jake May’s early-season tourney roundup, nor did SI writers include it in their tourney predictions article.
In its third year, the eight-team tourney was played at Kendal Isaacs National Gymnasium in 2017 and 2018. It was played in a real gym. This year, it’s played in a ballroom: The New Providence Ballroom at the Baha Mar resort in Nassau.
