Sportable is kicking off the Wheelchair Basketball National Championships with a live selection show on Monday, March 25 at 7 p.m.

In April, 100 teams will compete for Adult and Junior Division titles at the Henrico Sports and Events Center. In order to make the tournament, teams will have to hear their name called at the Road To Richmond Show.

The interactive show — put on with Richmond Times-Dispatch and Virginia Video Network — will reveal the full team field, brackets, seeds, and first round pairings. You can stream the whole thing on RTD’s site.

Want in on the action? Spectator tickets for the tournament are on sale now. Pre-sale prices continue through March 22.
