All

The Top Tier All Star Prep Tournament is 1 month away. We know there are a ton of questions. I hope that this message will answer most of them.

The interest is SUPER HIGH on this event. The waitlist is growing. All entries need to be paid within 30 days of the event (for confirmed teams) which is Wednesday, May 21st. Again, please pay to confirm your spot.

For those on the waitlist, we have recently added Dodd Fields in Issaquah as well as Lake Hills in Bellevue and Marymoor in Redmond. We will have the ability to add teams that are currently waitlisted.

For planning purposes, you can expect to play at one of those locations

This weekend we are working on a 400+ team Memorial Weekend Tournament that has the majority of our immediate attention.

The plan is to get age groups dialed into specific locations and teams added off wait lists the end of this week and working into next week.

Reminder, unpaid teams will move to the waitlist and replaced by teams that are already waitlisted.
