Will the event be rescheduled if it rains? +

The event will take place rain or shine! The tournament and vendors will be inside the Center’s gym.

Is the registration fee refundable? +

Unfortunately, we cannot offer a refund once your team has been registered. However, we can switch out players if someone on your team can no longer make it. Please notify us of any changes prior to the event day.

Prize money will be paid in the form of one $250 check per player for the championship competitive team and $100 check per player for the second-place competitive team. All other winners will receive non-monetary prizes.
