A number of teams from Southwest Washington and Portland played at Evergreen High School over four of the past five days. Evergreen coach Jay Foreman said he received positive feedback about the format, which was just a schedule of games rather than bracket play. Teams knew ahead of time when they were playing and who they were facing.
