2024 Wisconsin State Invitational Championship Basketball Tournament
If you coach a team that is interested in participating in the 2024 Wisconsin State Invitational Championship Tournament, there are a few specific questions we will ask when we contact you (either before or after we email you the Enrollment Form). This tournament is by invitation only and we are looking for the strongest teams in Wisconsin. You can find a great deal of additional information on our website.
While team strength is a critical part of the selection process, the first criterion is player eligibility. Every year there are a number of strong teams that we must decline because their players live in multiple school districts. Private schools are welcome to participate in the WSICT, but the eligibility requirements for non-public schools in this tournament are as stringent as those for public schools, with all players required to attend a feeder school of the same denomination or affiliation within the high school's geographic drawing area. We provide exceptions for students currently open-enrolled at a different public school district than the one in which they currently live. We do NOT, under any circumstances, consider where parents say they are planning to send a son/daughter to high school (unless they are already open enrolled by the time of the 8th grade WSICT for a player going into 9th grade in 2024-2025). For a very detailed discussion of tournament player eligibility requirements, see WSICT Rule 11, which can be accessed on this website by clicking on "2024 WSICT Rules."
In deciding which teams to invite to the WSICTs, tournament organizers spend a great deal of time researching the strength of potential invitees. That includes:
