Looking at bringing some Club teams (WABL) over from WA in 2016 to play against quality East Coast VJBL / Jnr Waratah League / QJBL clubs.
We know Dandenong Eltham Oz Day is a great tournament, are there any others which people could recommend to look into competing at or would Dandy be the best option?
You could apply to the VJBL to enter the CLassic in Melbourne over Queens birthday weekend, I know it is invitation only, but if you let them know you are interested they might be looking at getting some WA teams involved. Thats the best one going around talent wise, and dont expect too much if you get in.
Nunawading tournament is a significant step down, but worth a look, same weekend and anyone can enter. I wouldn't worry about the Ballarat tournament, standard is not that great, and it is a very cold place in June.
I haven't been but there is a tournament in SA over Easter, can't remember who runs it, but a number of teams from Vic go over every year so it cant be too bad.

Be aware that this comment may be very subjective and that Victoria is generally very cold in June, not just ballarat (which is cold, but it doesn't snow there). The Ballarat tournament may suit some of your club teams, don't discount it based on one comment, do some research first.
Check the State Basketball web sites (Country and Metro), as they usually have a calendar where all tournaments are listed online, or you can contact them for more information...
Easter tournament in Adelaide used to be great but is not worth attending anymore.
