I coach two – three teams, can you make sure I don’t have any conflicts?
A: It’s very difficult to switch games with the time frame we have. With only 2 1/2 days and almost 500 games to play, there is virtually no wiggle room. For the past two years we have always encouraged coaches of multiple teams to make sure they bring a competent assistant willing to step in and help.
When will the schedule be out?
A: TBC
Where can I send payment?
A: Payment is made at the time of registration via credit or debit card

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a crossover bracket?
A: With 6 teams you play all three teams in the other group. The final is the top two teams based on points earned in those three games. Basically it means all games count in standings (no consolation games) and if two strong teams end up in the same group they could both still play in the final. Winning the group for 6 teams brackets isn’t really a thing because it’s just points.
