UNCASVILLE, Conn. -- Final plans were announced Thursday for 11 days of college basketball this month inside a modified bubble at the Mohegan Sun resort casino in Connecticut.
The event, dubbed 'Bubbleville,' will include 40 teams playing 45 games in tournaments that were either relocated or created to be played at the resort between Nov. 25 and Dec 5.
The event was organized by he Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, which holds its men's Tip-Off Tournament and Women's Challenge at Mohegan Sun every year, and the Gazelle Group, which runs the Empire Classic and the Legends Classic, both of which are normally held in New York.
The Mohegan Sun had already developed protocols for coronavirus testing, cleaning and managing sports during the pandemic. It also has its own medical staff and facilities to treat and isolate anyone who may be infected.
The resort teamed with Viacom over the summer to produce televised events for boxing and mixed martial arts.
Each team will be tested upon arrival. Each school will have its own secured floor in the resort's 34-story tower hotels along with meeting and catered dining areas. The teams will move around through designated 'back of the house' corridors so they don't interact with the public.
The organizers plan to use a pool of about 25 officials, who also will be housed at the resort for those two weeks. The casino had already installed safety devices as part of its reopening in June, including ultraviolet lighting and special filters in its HVAC system.
'It's a single site, secluded location, with enormous square footage for social distancing,' Greg Procino, vice president of basketball operations for the Hall of Fame, told The Associated Press last month. 'There are a lot of things that will work in our favor.'
The organizers are not planning to allow fans at the games. Schools involved include men's No. 2 Baylor, No. 3 Villanova, No. 4 Virginia, No. 18 Arizona State and No. 20 Oregon. The women's programs competing are scheduled to include No. 3 UConn, No. 5 Louisville and No. 6 Mississippi State. Most of the games will be played at the 10,000-seat Mohegan Sun Arena, the home of the WNBA's Connecticut Sun.

The tournaments taking place at Mohegan Sun include the Roman Legends Classic, the 2K Empire Classic, the HomeLight Classic, the Air Force Reserve Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament, the Air Force Reserve Basketball Hall of Fame Women's Challenge, the Jimmy V Women's Classic and several pods and single games developed specifically for 'Bubbleville.'
Four Bears Casino Pool Tournament Game
Some of the best players in the country showed up to participate in the 21st Annual 4-Bears 8-Ball Classic, April 19th-22nd, 2012 held at the 4-Bears Casino in New Town, ND.
Thursday’s $3,000 added 9-ball mini tournament didn’t turnout to be so mini with 86 players signed up before the 5 PM deadline. The field consisted of many of the top pros and amateurs from across the country. In the finals it was pros, Jeff Beckley who won the host-seat match and John Morra winner of the loser’s side match. Morra would have to win 2-sets races to 9 to win the title and was up for the challenge by winning the 1st set 9-4. In the second set, Beckley rallied back to win 9-7 and earn his first 4-Bears Classic title and a purse of $1,300.00.
By Thursday’s 5:00 PM deadline, 128-players had maxed out the field abandoning some extra players, so the committee decided to open up the field so that ALL 149-players could participate in this year’s main event.
In the $10,000 added 8-ball main event, players from 14-states and 4-Canadian providences which included some of the top rated professionals in pool; Shane Vanboening, Stevie Moore, John Morra, Brandon Shuff, Shane McMinn, Jeff Beckley, Jesse Engel and Mark Haddad.
Jeff Beckley, Reno Open 8-ball winner and just winning the 9-ball classic had his eyes set on winning back-to-back-to back championships, which proved to be a little too much by exiting early with a 24th-32nd fiish in the 8-ball event. However Beckley wasn’t the only professional to exit early, Shane Vanboening and defending champion Lee Huewagon also failed to make the money and/or the final 32-redraw.
Mark Haddad of Colorado and Jesse Engel of Minnesota paired up in the 8-ball championship final match. Mark who went undefeated though the winner’s side brackets and Jesse winning from the 1-lose side bracket, and once again just like the 9-ball event Jesse would have to beat mark twice to win the title. Jesse proved he had a shot at the title winning the 1st match 7-4. Mark’s strong play continued as he won the second set 7-4 to win the title, cash and was awarded an embroidered jacket for his efforts.
The women’s division was just as tough which included some of the best players from North & South Dakotas, Montana and two top WPBA touring professionals Nicole Kenney and Melissa little. But in the end it came down to Melissa and Nicole in the finals. And just like the men’s event Nicole would have to beat Melissa twice, in two-sets race to 5 to win the championships. The first TV match went to Nicole winning 5-3 and in the second match Nicole squeaked by with another 5-3 win over Melissa to win the championship and 1st place purse of $1,500.00
The committee would like to thank all of the players who played is this years championships, Big Truck from Texas for televising the Internet matches, all the vendors and sponsors.
