LAST YEAR'S CHAMPIONSHIP

August 2nd, 2024 – ESPN the Ocho – Rock Hill, SC

For the first time in 25 years, we hosted a National Championship!  And it all aired on ESPN 2 on August 2nd, 2024 as part of ESPN the Ocho events. The field started with 8 competitors and it all narrowed down to one. The winner was a 37 year old, father of two, who put up an outstanding performance with a high score of 153.  Josh Caputo didn't lose a single matchup as he glided to a National Championship chain. Caputo led all competitors with a 68.9% shooting percentage, averaged 69 shots per game played, and averaged 120 points per game with the new scoring/bonus time format.
