Actually in that situation, where you have one long document spread through multiple pages, you want to link the pages together using the next and previous links in your <head> tag.

For example, for page 3 you could have something like this:

<link rel="prev" type="text/html" title="Page 2" href="/youth-basketball-tournaments/kansas?page=2"/>
<link rel="next" type="text/html" title="Page 4" href="/youth-basketball-tournaments/kansas?page=4"/>


Hopefully you can get your system to do that automatically for you...

As you are at it, you may want to include the "top" and "up" links.
