In Kentucky and southern Indiana, there are summer tournaments and leagues called Dirt or Dust Bowls in which neighborhoods compete to be the best in their city. The Lexington and Louisville Dirt Bowls are the 2nd and 3rd oldest outdoor summer leagues in the United States of America. Throughout the years, many ABA, NBA, and streetball legends have graced the court in these iconic leagues.

The Dirty Bowl Classic is a tournament created to crown the overall Dirt Bowl Champion. In this tournament, we take the champions and runners-up in all of the Dirt and Dust Bowls in the area and run the tournament in which seeding is determined based on where teams place during pool play.

In the first year of this tournament, we had participants from Louisville, Lexington, Hazard, Maysville, and Madisonville, Ky. We are looking to add more teams from more cities in the area.
