The Betty Gunn Tournament at Mountain Brook High School

2025 — Mountain Brook, AL/US

Congress Schedule and IMPORTANT NOTES

Congress Schedule- There is now only one session

12:00 - 12:30 Registration

12:30 - 3:30 Congress Session

Edited to add: adults must sign in at the front desk, show their ID, and wear a badge until the end of the school day. Thanks ahead of time for your cooperation with this - let your bus drivers know and invite them to the judges' lounge, too! Thanks!

All guests have to enter the school at the front door. My students will escort competitors, coaches, and judges to their rooms. All observers will need to watch rounds in the Incubator classroom #214. Coaches and judges are invited to the Glass Classroom in the library, which will serve as the hospitality lounge throughout the tournament. We will have coffee and light breakfast items for you there and snacks in the afternoon. This is where we will serve meals, starting with dinner on Friday night.

There are handicap-accessible spots by the front door, but we have minimal parking, so even if you see open spaces in the parking lot at the front of the school, we need everyone to park in the overflow lot below the baseball fields.Students pay for their spots, and parents make a big fuss if their child arrives to school late and the spot is gone. Please do NOT park in numbered spots or those labeled as faculty/staff parking.

If you have any questions, there are guard shacks at the front and back entrances of the school. They will be happy to help you! Mr. Wilbur (front) and Mr. Don (back) are incredibly friendly and can help you with parking questions.

My best advice is to have parent drivers and busses drop students off at the front of the school and then turn right just past the track and before the front guard shack. This access road takes you around the back of the football field. Turn left, pass the back guard shack, and just before you hit the stop sign, there are two orange cones on your right. That large gravel lot is where everyone should park.

If coming directly to the lot from the interstate, when you exit 459, if you're traveling southbound, turn right. If you are traveling here northbound, turn left, away from DQ, and you should see the two orange cones on your left. This is before you reach the two-way stop between the HS and Veteran’s Park.

Please advise your students to be cognizant of the classrooms around us.

Observers must go to the Incubator room and watch that Congress session until school is dismissed at 3:20.
