The tournament will match up the best players from all over the Northwest. The River City Showdown will take place on January 19, 2008, when the top players in all divisions meet up in a tournament format. All participants will receive a ticket to an Idaho Stampede basketball game and the top players from the Open Division will get a chance to play on the Stampede's home court in downtown Boise prior to their January 26 game against the Los Angeles D-Fenders.
The Open Division winner will not only be crowned the River City Showdown champion, but will also win a $250 grand prize and chance to start their NBA dream by being invited to the Idaho Stampede's 2008 Free Agent camp. All division winners will receive championship t-shirts.

Each division is segmented according to age: the Open Division (19 years and older), the men’s and women’s Adult Division (17 years and older), boy’s and girl’s High School Division (15-16 years old), boy’s and girl’s Junior Division (13-14 years old) and boy’s and girl’s Starter Division (11-12 years old).
