The New York state high school boys basketball championships are won in the Federation Tournament of Champions, which is conducted annually by the New York State Federation of Secondary School Athletic Associations (NYSFSSAA). The tournament comprises the winners of the various high school athletic associations in New York: *New York State Public High School Athletic Association (public schools outside of New York City) (NYSPHSAA) (which qualifies in the NYSPHSAA Tournament) *Public Schools Athletic League (PSAL) (public schools in New York City) *Catholic High School Athletic Association (CHSAA) *New York State Association of Independent Schools Athletic Association (NYSAISAA) For geographic reasons, some catholic and independent schools in upstate New York and Long Island compete in the NYSPHSAA. The championship games are held each March in the Albany area. ==History== Following a 45-year ban on high school basketball state championship tournaments in New York State, the State Education Department granted approval in 1978 for the first boys Federation tournament to be conducted on an experimental basis. The original boys tournament was named the Super Sixteen tournament, as the four associations (NYSPHSAA, PSAL, CHSAA and NYSAISAA) competed in four classes, based primarily on student-body size.〔http://www.nysfederationbasketball.com/history.html - Retrieved February 24, 2015〕 The four classes were called AAA, AA, A and B in 1979.〔http://www.nysbasketballbrackets.com/ - Retrieved February 24, 2015〕 From 1981 through 2003, the four classes were called A, B, C and D.〔http://nysfederationbasketball.com/history.html - Retrieved February 24, 2015〕 In September 2000, the tournament became known as the Federation Tournament of Champions.
