Current Main Stage Tournament
The 2008 Battle of the Bay Theatresports

Theatresports is BATS Improv's signature format. It's improvisation played as a sporting event, which two teams of improvisers compete in a series of scenes, games, and challenges vying for points awarded by three judges. The audience is involved throughout the show, shouting suggestions, and audience volunteers are even invited to participate in one of the rounds. At the end of the evening, the team with the most points wins!

In this annual summer tournament, six teams representing some of our favorite Bay Area neighborhoods compete for NoCal bragging rights and the opportunity to play against our friends (and arch rivals) from LATS / Los Angeles Theatresports. This year we also pay homage to one of the groups whose money keeps San Francisco up and running—tourists! All you out-of-towners now have your very own "home team" to cheer for during the tournament, so come join the locals at the Bayfront this summer.
