They are still looking for volunteers. People that are optimistic and pro-kc should sign up. Here is the email they sent volunteers. You should contact Mark Gibbs at the bottom of the email first before sending your application. Applications must be faxed by Tuesday the 19th. Also might be a good opportunity to get priveleged information and behind the scenes tours! 
First of all, thanks for volunteering to help with the Big Twelve Basketball Tournament in March. Having been a volunteer for over fifteen years myself, I can tell you that it's always a fun and interesting experience!
There's a fair amount of info in this email, some of it time-sensitive. Please make sure you read all of it carefully and mark your calendar accordingly. Here are some things you should know about :
What's The Volunteer Schedule?
The Mens & Womens tournaments run from Tuesday, March 11th to Sunday, March 16th.
Each day is split into day and evening shifts. The times for these shifts vary depending on the day. Shifts are assigned based upon a mix of:
Availability
Seniority (number of years as a volunteer)
Whether a volunteer has completed the Ambassador Training program (more on that in a minute).
Please mark your calendars for the following dates:
February 20th / Time: 6:00 pm / Sprint Center :
All-Volunteer Meeting
This a chance to bring all volunteers together, discuss scheduling, distribute uniforms, etc. This is a two-part session:
A general meeting of all volunteers. Host committee chairpersons, Sports Commission officials, and more will be going over some general guidelines, making some announcements, and fielding questions.
Each group (e.g., Fan Info) then breaks into its own meeting. This meeting is where scheduling and group-specific issues can be discussed.
After the breakout meetings, there will be guided tours of the new Power & Light District. As this will be a big area of fan questions, please plan on taking one of the tours.
Note: When entering the Sprint Center, please use the main entrance on Grand. Concerning parking, there is metered parking on Grand, McGee and Oak streets. In addition, on the south side of the Center across Truman Road, there is lots of parking.
February 28th / 1:00-5:00 pm
Johnson County Community College :
Heartland Ambassador Tourism Program Training
This is a training session being conducted by the Kansas City Convention and Visitors Association (KCCVA). As a Kansas City Host Committee volunteer, you can attend this session for no charge!
While this isn't a mandatory item, as a member of the Fan Information team, it is crucial to attend this session. There are so many changes to the downtown area; even lifelong residents will not recognize the new downtown landscape that is emerging with the Sprint Center , the Power & Light District, and more.
The session gives you the information you need to be a much better volunteer. Upon completion, you are also eligible to assist as an ambassador in a wide range of future events that the KCCVA coordinates with.
