Leslie Knope and her team of Parks and Recreation employees in Pawnee, Indiana are gearing up for a major civic event: The Pawnee-Eagleton Tip Off Classic. The annual basketball game between the two rival cities is always hotly contested, and this year, the stakes are higher than ever. With Eagleton facing a financial crisis, they've threatened to cancel the game unless the Pawnee team agrees to a series of outrageous demands.

Leslie and her team are determined not to let the tradition die, and they set out to negotiate with Eagleton officials. But as they soon discover, their counterparts across the river are more than willing to play hardball. The demands escalate quickly, from Pawnee footing the bill for all the food and transportation for the Eagleton team to Eagleton getting to select the referee and even determining the halftime show.
