The only one of those players I've even heard of is Burdick, who is terrible.
My undying contempt for the Storm aside, though, I commend Force 10's continued commitment to women's sports, in general, and women's basketball, in particular.

Good thing I did not try to sponsor a team to see if I could get my money back on having them dominate the west regionals. I would not be able to put together a team that could compete with this group regularly. I guess I will see them when they play in Oakland though. |

Good for everyone involved if they can have some fun with it and even make some money.
By the way, do they expect to make money, and how? I don't expect there would be much viewership interest. |

There are six tournaments in the West region with $2,000 grand prizes.
There is $25,000 in prize money available to individuals (it might help to play three tournament in other regions too.
There will be some kind of larger event in September that will likely also have prize money. |

All four players were, at least, in a WNBA camp. Burdick, Peterson and Harper were all on rosters recently. Huff was drafted by the Liberty and was one of their last cuts.

Burdick's a lot better in 3x3 games than regular basketball.

I have yet to see a full schedule, much less stats for one of these events, but they did not make the final in their first event in Brooklyn:
https://www.usab.com/news-events/news/2019/07/red-bull-3x-brooklyn.aspx
Local pros won the title in overtime, which is good since the amateurs they beat would have to decline the prize money. They managed to do it with only three players too, which is impressive and means they get more money.
Slocum, Charles, Collier, and Onyenwere were the runners up. |

Man, this whole 3 on 3 basketball thing is taking over all over the place. Olympic competition, professional leagues, amateur leagues. More power to them. Too bad I'm not a former NBA player. I could try out for the BIG3. |

Is there some sort of IOC tabulation of points that will be used for Olympic qualification purposes? I can't seem to find a definitive list of points anywhere.

I believe the relevant list is this one: https://fiba3x3.com/en/rankings/federation.html#women |

Thanks for pointing me toward that link. I must say that the "How It Works" tab doesn't provide a lot of clarification. I still can't determine if all of those points from the different categories (U23, U18, etc.) are then aggregated to determine the overall standings. Also, individual players do not qualify, right? Teams qualify, and then it is the determination of the individual countries to field four-player teams? Also, I noticed that many of the points accumulated via the Red Bull 3X3 tournaments have expiration dates attached to some of the events. I am just a little discouraged that there is a not a definitive source of clarification for this future Olympic event. It appears that the only way that the American women's team will qualify is via the Olympic Qualifying Tournament.

It's usually out there somewhere, it's just often hard to find and then difficult to decipher. Try https://www.nocnsf.nl/stream/qualification-system-games-of-the-xxxii-olympiad-tokyo-2020-international-basketball-federation-fiba-basketball-3x3.pdf .
And yes, as far as I can tell it's the country that qualifies, not the individual players/team, but they qualify via the players' world rankings or via playing in the qualifying tournaments. And you do need some kind of 3x3 ranking to be in the team. USA Basketball couldn't just say "screw this" two weeks before the Olympics and send Bird, Taurasi, Griner and Moore as their 3x3 squad. And right now the first thing they need to worry about is qualifying for the Qualifying Tournament. That doesn't look a dead cert yet. |

Sounds like Milwaukee did not have a women's tournament and got rained out so all eyes were on a full 12 team field in Oakland this weekend, but unfortunately I was unable to make it.
Force X is finding that winning these tournaments are not a walk in the park, losing in the semifinals to the eventual champions Bay Area Hoopers, featuring Kamilah Jackson, Jazmine Jackson, Jazmine Perkins, and KC Waters. The runners up were Nnenna Okereke, Charlee Jones (who as Charlee Underwood gave one of the most memorable performances ever in our league during my high school years), Raquel Avila, and Oderah Chidom. Their semifinal involved another former Duke player in LaNedra Brown as she went back to school and got a regular job after a long pro career. |

So this is unfortunate: I had no idea this was going on, or where it was. I might have gone had I known.
Publicity is hard to come by, and hard to make happen, but it would have been nice if high school coaches would have known about it ...

Rain? So they play outside?
Now there's a big-time event. I wonder if they have metal nets. |
Yes, 3x3 is supposed to be played outside. The United States seems to be the only country obsessed with playing it indoors. The last championships in Las Vegas were played outdoors, although they insisted on using an indoor floor instead of the special surface the big international tournaments use.
I will be interested in seeing how the upcoming Red Bull 3x3 tour is handled as they start play in Detroit on Saturday. They are supposed to be in Oakland at Soldiertown for one of their stops on August 3rd. |
They do need to work on this whole process a bit, but I am assuming that they have learned a lot from the first year. |

Seems like they're trying to cram in a load of tournaments to reach those awkward criteria that FIBA have laid out for Olympic qualification. There was as much stuff in there about organisation and participation as there was about actual performance. |

I wonder if it counts for points, since they called it "coed"?
