Battle 4 Atlantis


The Battle 4 Atlantis is an early-season college basketball tournament that takes place in late November of each year, at Atlantis Paradise Island on Paradise Island in Nassau, Bahamas, on the week of the US holiday of Thanksgiving. The games are played in the Imperial Arena, a grand ballroom which is turned into a basketball venue. The tournament is known for being the richest Division I men's early-season college basketball tournament. Schools are awarded $2 million in exchange for their participation in the men's event.
In 2020, a women's tournament will be added, also featuring eight teams. It will immediately precede the men's tournament.
The tournament is promoted by Bad Boy Mowers, and is televised by ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU.
