We have some exciting changes to the Fine Arts and Sports competitions. We have also added a Thursday night BBQ on site to provide you an opportunity for dinner and fellowship before our MAX at NITE opening service. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at yptoomey1985@suddenlink.net or at 417-234-2651. I hope to see you there.

All-Star Selection Process - All-tournament and MVP selections will be determined as follows: Ballots are to be given to the head coach and will be distributed upon completion of that game.

These ballots will be collected by the event director at the conclusion of that game. At the end of the tournament, one MVP and the number of players that comprise a team for each of the sports will be selected for an all-tournament team. The MVP selection is not automatically picked from the first place team. One spot on the all-tournament team may be filled by the tournament directors, if needed. All ties in the voting process will be broken by the tournament directors. Awards will be presented during the MAXed Out Awards Ceremony on Saturday afternoon in the Cook Center.
