TEAM & INDIVIDUAL GATE FEE
At selected parks, we will collect individual gate fees as spectators enter the complex. At other parks, a team gate fee will be collected prior to the start of the tournament. Team gate fee is $150 per team.
FORMAT
We always try and divide teams into divisions that are representative of their playing level. This is typically SINGLE A, A/AA and/or AA/AAA divisions. Depending on the number of teams entered, priority will be placed on making the event the most evenly competitive tournament. All teams will play two pool games, and then split into a Sunday single elimination championship bracket. With enough teams entered, division brackets can be separated further into gold, silver, and bronze Sunday brackets.
TEAMS CHOOSE DIVISION (at registration)
Each team will select their team's classification on (Single A, AA, or AAA), and what division (Single A, A/AA OR AA/AAA) they are requesting to compete in for the event. MAJOR teams are welcome in our events but MUST play one age group above their own, or play in their own designated MAJOR division.
AWARDS
