FOI #21-413 (12-14-21, 4:30 pm) - Subject - Copy of UCONN MBB & WBB Agreement for 2021 Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament

Name - John Andrews

Affiliation - John Andrews Media

Dear Public Records Team,

Both the Men's and Women's UCONN basketball teams attended the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in November 2021. Specific dates of the tournaments were:

WBB - Nov 20 - Nov 22
MBB - Nov 24 - Nov 26

I would like a copy of the (1) contracts for each team, (2) a copy of the itineraries for each team (ex. the WBB probably arrived on Nov 18th or 19th at the Atlantis and departed the 23rd), as well as the (3) Tournament Manuel which is supplied by the Tournament Organizer to each team.

I can accept the records in PDF format and electronically so that there are no costs of reproduction. Based on experience, each team probably has the documents above in PDF format already.

Finally, it appears this information has been provided at least once earlier to reporter Mike Anthony of CT Insider who wrote about the trip on November 19th - https://www.ctinsider.com/uconn/article/How-the-Battle-4-Atlantis-in-the-Bahamas-became-a-16633784.php

Thank you.
