Richards Elite x TBT

Big news! We are thrilled to announce that Richards Elite will be entering a team in the TBT this summer.

As the British team, we are aiming for the incredible $1.5 million jackpot in this tournament.

To build our squad, we will be hosting tryout sessions across the country to find the British talent (aged 17 or over) to join our team and travel to the U.S.

We will split the tryout in two age group – age 17-20 and age 21+ and we will select players from each of these age group.

This is a once-in-a lifetime opportunity to compete on an international platform and gain exposure at the high level of basketball.

What is TBT?

TBT stands for The Basketball Tournament. TBT is March madness in the summertime. A nationally televised 64-team bracket style event where the winning team takes home $1 Million.

TBT has hosted and broadcast more than 650+ games on ESPN for the past decade. More than 70 players have gone on to sign NBA contracts after competing in TBT. The tournament will be broadcast on FOX Sports and YouTube.
