We’ve talked recently how there are some tournaments that have a long standing tradition across the state. The Bill Tipton is having it’s 20th edition this week. Also this week we have the Owasso Pro Nine that has been going on for over 20 years.

The Southern Oklahoma Invitational hosted by Duncan High School has been going on since 1972 and will have it’s latest event starting Thursday.

It will look a little different this year, as the SOI will be a festival and move away from it’s traditional bracket or 3 plus 1 formats from the past.
