Salisbury University and Gov. Challenge has partnered up to create a high level NCAA Division III basketball experience for this upcoming season. On Nov. 22-23, 2025 for two games in the Governors Challenge in Salisbury, MD. We are expanding out of our high school tournament to try and create a similar high level experience for DIII programs. This will be the inaugural year for the event but we have great plans in place and would love for you guys to be a part of it. You can see here what our HS event has been like. www.govchallenge.org
 
Here is what we are going to be able to offer teams in year one of the event.
 
4 Hotel Rooms (doubles) on Friday Nov. 21, additional discounted hotel rates for rooming needs.
Team Meals for Saturday / Sunday. Breakfast provided at hotel, pre and post game meals at Venue and local restaurant partners. .
Our goal is 2 Games in Bracket in Wicomico Civic Center Arena. First round matchup on Saturday, winners move onto Champ Game on Sunday, losers move to consolation game on Sunday. It is dependent on the tournament field and if we have to shift over to a Showcase format and schedule out games to avoid repeated matchups from the season we can.
One Court Arena Set up.
Free Shootaround / Practice time provided.
Tournament Gifts including Tournament T-Shirts.
All Tournament Teams and Awards.
Championship Banners and Awards.
