**** UPDATE - AUGUST 11 ****

First off, on behalf of Hindu Mandir & Cultural Centre, I'd like to thank all of participants for coming out last Saturday and making the 2nd Annual Gujarati 3on3 Tournament such a huge success. 22 teams battled through an extremely competitive preliminary round, jostling for playoff seeding -- then the intensity went up a couple levels once the "one-and-done" tournament started! When the dust settled, the team that took home the hardware was...once again, the Black Mambas (can someone dethrone these guys!?)

Congratulations to the runner up Rex Ballerz for their second Championship appearance -- maybe the third time's a charm?

This year we added in a 3-Point Shootout and the winner was Bhavik Patel of Rex Ballerz. Bhavik took home a $100 Future Shop gift card which was donated to the tournament.

A special thanks to our food sponsors, Jai Patel of Unicare Pharmacy and Bharat Patel of Century 21 Green Realty Inc.

FYI: we are planning an All-Hindu 5on5 tournament in the fall. Keep your eyes open for that -- and as always, if you'd like to help with the planning and execution of the tournament by joining the youth committee, please contact us via the Hindu Mandir website (http://www.hindu-mandir.net) or through Facebook.

Pictures from the tournament are available online. A highlight video from the tournament will be posted shortly.
