MHSA runs four classification championships (AA, A, B, C) on the same March weekend across Bozeman, Billings, Missoula, and Butte. AA is the largest-school bracket, typically rotating between Worthington Arena (Bozeman) and Brick Breeden Fieldhouse. Smaller classifications get their own host cities — Class C draws huge crowds because small-town Montana basketball travels.
National Prep Tournament in Fort Walton Beach, Florida takes both high school and post-grad programs. Applications stay open through October 31. If you want a competitive early-March slot without invitation-only barriers, this is the one to apply for.
