SOUTH DAKOTA BOYS BASKETBALL TOURNAMENTS SITES; 1912-1985

Until 1916 the Tournament was an open invitational tournament coordinated by Huron College. In 1912 the South Dakota Athletic Association took over the control, but it remained opened to all Association schools until 1918, when only district winners were allowed to compete. Later only regional winners were allowed to compete. The State Tournaments were separated into three classes in 1986.
