\n
After two summers in Charleston, West Virginia, Wheeling, and WesBanco Arena will host the West Virginia Regional for the first time this summer.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“We’re excited to partner with the City of Wheeling, WesBanco Arena, and Best Virginia to bring TBT back to West Virginia,” said TBT founder and CEO Jon Mugar. “West Virginia fans are among the best in the nation. We see it each summer with TBT and are excited to bring a regional back to their home turf again this summer.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u201cWe are thrilled that WesBanco Arena and the city of Wheeling has been chosen as the WV regional location for TBT this summer,\u201d said Kelly Tucker, Executive Director for WesBanco Arena. \u201cThe level of excitement surrounding this tournament provides an amazing opportunity to continue the momentum of great events happening in downtown Wheeling.

Best Virginia, who first began competing in TBT in 2019, is organized by former West Virginia stars John Flowers and Kevin Jones. The team had their furthest run to date last summer, winning the West Virginia Regional for the first time. In two years of games in their home state, Best Virginia owns a 5-1 record.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cI\u2019m excited for TBT to come to Wheeling this summer,\u201d said Best Virginia general manager and player John Flowers. \u201cThere are a lot of West Virginia fans that deserve to see us play and to be able to interact with some of their favorite former Mountaineers, and we think the opportunity in Wheeling will allow for more fans to do just that. We\u2019re looking forward to a great turnout this summer.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Wheeling will be one of TBT\u2019s eight regional locations this summer. Eight teams will compete in the West Virginia Regional over the course of five days in July in the single-elimination event, with the West Virginia Regional champion advancing to the quarterfinals.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Since TBT began in 2014, it has awarded more than $12M in prize money and has been viewed in more than 180 countries around the world. Alumni teams have won TBT\u2019s championship the past four summers, with teams representing Ohio State, Marquette, Syracuse, and the University of Buffalo taking home the $1M prize between 2019-2022. TBT is also the home of the Elam Ending, the alternate ending to games where teams play to a target score. The Elam Ending was adopted by the NBA for its All-Star Game beginning in 2022, and is now being used in G League games as part of their overtime format.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
