The tournament comprises the winners of the various high school athletic associations in New York:
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.[2] The four classes were called AAA, AA, A and B in 1979.[3] From 1981 through 2003, the four classes were called A, B, C and D.[2] In September 2000, the tournament became known as the Federation Tournament of Champions. Beginning with the 2004 tournament, competition has been held in three classes (AA, A and B).[2]
Following a three-year hiatus caused by the COVID pandemic, the Federation tournament returned in 2023, albeit on a smaller scale with games held at school sites around the Capital District. The tournament was put on indefinite pause after the 2023 edition: schools cited a decrease in interest from fans and media, plus a desire for athletes to start their spring sporting seasons earlier.[4]

After the first two tournaments were held in Syracuse and Rochester in 1979 and 1980,[3][2] the competition moved to Glens Falls through 2010 and then to Albany.[3] In 2015, because the Times Union Center was used for the NCAA Women's Basketball Albany Regional, the Federation tournament was held at SEFCU Arena, the home court of the University at Albany, SUNY basketball teams. The tournament moved back to Glens Falls in 2017.[5]
For 2015, the NYSPHSAA classification enrollment cutoffs were as follows, counting the number of 9th, 10th and 11th grade students in the previous scholastic year (enrollment is doubled for all-boys schools):[6][7]
Class AA: 910 and more
Class A: 480-909
Class B: 280-479
PSAL, CHSAA and NYSAISAA have their own classification systems, not tied directly to student enrollments.[citation needed]
A school may elect to play in a higher classification, but may not elect to play in a lower classification.[6]
