Hoopfest[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Seems to be an unconnected synthesis of things that are all called "hoopfest" with no connection between them. I found possible sources for individual hoopfests, but nothing about the concept as a whole. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 02:54, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I just don't think there's a firm topic here. Lots of individual events may call themselves "Hoopfest," but they're not related to each other, and they don't have the same set of rules. Some of these events aren't tournaments at all; for example, several colleges refer to their season tip-off festivities as "Hoopfest" (eg, Illinois State University and Evansville).

Delete as above; this is something between WP:OR and WP:SYNTH in how it takes various "Hoopfest" events and try and make a common concept out of them. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:57, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
