Tournament Setup
1. Tournament registration will be conducted only by mail from until August 11, 2006. The team fee is $120 before July 26, 2006 and must accompany the registration form. Teams registering after this date will submit $160 with registration form. Teams registering after August 11th date will be accepted only at the discretion of tournament directors. Teams are guaranteed three (3) games minimum in a round-robin format during the early rounds. After this round, tournament format will change to single-loss elimination.
2. The tournament is open to players of all skill levels. Three divisions have been established based on age and sex as outlined below.
Youth Brackets: Grades 5th - 12th
Adult Brackets: Adult Men's 18-30 | Men's 30 and up | Women |
Eligibility based on age will be determined by the age of the oldest member of the team as of August 11, 2006 (We are still accepting teams, please submit your registration as soon as possible). Players are permitted to play "up" a division at their own discretion
Each team shall designate a team name that must be tasteful and appropriate. Names will be reviewed by the Tournament Staff and may be changed or removed at the sole discretion of the Tournament Staff.
Each team shall designate a captain to handle communication for the team. All correspondence between the Tournament and the teams will occur through the Captain. The Captain is responsible for receiving and verifying game times and communicating with Tournament Staff. The Captain (or a designated representative) from each team is also required to attend a "Check-In" the morning of the tournament to receive his game time(s) and receive the rules and regulations, and receive t-shirts. The Captain will assume responsibility for the on and off-court actions of his teammates during their time at the tournament site.
Games will be held at one site. All efforts will be made to stay on time, however some delays are inevitable. Teams are still responsible for being at the assigned location and court at the time assigned regardless of any delays that may occur.
Day of Event
The round-robin pool and championship brackets will be played between 9:00am and continue through the day until approximately 4:00pm. The championship bracket will be the second day. A team that qualifies for championship bracket but whom would be unable to attend should inform Tournament Staff.
Apparel
A tournament t-shirt will be provided to all participates as part of the entry fee. Teams are free to wear their own uniforms at their discretion. Please bring at least one “light” and one “dark” colored jersey or t-shirt. Teams with offensive, inappropriate, explicit or distasteful words and/or logos on their uniforms will be asked to remove/reverse their uniforms. The Tournament Staff will enforce this rule and all decisions are final.
