The PBR Future Games is the top underclass showcase event in the country each year. PBR territories from across the country work to put together teams of the top uncommitted, underclass players to compete each year. Team Carolina is made of players from North Carolina and South Carolina.

Players attending the Future Game Trials were able to go through a full pro-style workout, running a laser timed 60, working through an offensive evaluation, and a defensive evaluation.
