GENERAL MEDIA INFORMATION
We value the role of media in promoting and covering our events, and our priority is to ensure that access to the tournament floor is strictly limited to established and recognized publications. This helps us maintain the integrity and quality of coverage at our events.
Please note that media credentials are typically reserved for traditional media outlets such as local newspapers, commercial radio stations, and television channels. Currently, social media platforms and podcasts do not fall within the credentialing guidelines established by the Montana Newscasters and Montana Broadcasters Associations.
All members of the media are required to show appropriate identification when picking up passes at any post season site.
