We are members of the TVBA, but we've tried to schedule to play in Jan and were told by the host teams that they were "full". But then said our fourth grade team could play. We have several players where brothers are on the 4th and 6th grade teams, so we really need to play at the same location.

These are just young boys that want to play basketball.

When we joined TVBA, we didn't realize host teams could deny teams a chance to play.
gw...yes this is a TVBA event. I don't have the contact information, but it should be on the list of contacts for the TVBA. Should be T Peoples, not sure who the coach is for the boys in your age group. If you don't have the info, message me back and I will send it too you. Also, Dale just put out several dates for the TVBA that will be at Shoals/Muscle Shoals in January and February that you should be able to get in too. Also, home teams won't deny you play. However, it is first come first serve so the day you requested was probably full already...nothing personal.
More than once we've been told they would take the fourth grade team but not the sixth. If they are truely "full" they wouldn't be able to take any more teams, regardless of grade or gender. I could understand if it's truely a tournament with a bracket, but when it's just a play date and people want two games there is really no limit unless all the time slots for the day is taken. But, if all the time slots were taken they wouldn't be able to take any more teams at all.

We were to have play dates on Jan. 17th and Feb. 14th but since TVBA add MS on these dates most teams have withdrawn from ours.
Nope, that ain't how it works. Most of the time depending on how long the play date last, each host team will accept 3 or 4 teams in each age group. If there were only 2 4th grade teams and they needed another to make sure each got two games in they would be able to except another 4th grade team. This is independent of your 6th grade team. Sounds like that is what happened. Same has happened to me....
