ENTRY FEE
The All Inclusive Entry fee is $1200.00 for all divisions. This fee includes the registration of the team and free entry for all parents and fans regardless of age. There is no charge or fee collected at the door. This is a free event.
FORMAT
The tournament uses a unique draw system of games which not only allows us to run divisions with odd numbers of teams but also gives us the ability to provide competition within each category based on team skill. Teams play their first two games to establish their level of play. The result is teams with 2 wins playing in the
ODYSSEY division, teams with 1 win/1 loss playing in the
ACCORD division, and teams with 2 losses playing in the
CIVIC Consolation division.
All teams are guaranteed three games. With this draw system in most cases if you win your third game you will play a fourth game even with two losses. See the sample draws from last year’s tournament for further details.
All games in all categories play 15 minute stop time periods with a flood after either the first or second period.
All Championship Finals are 15 minute stop time with a flood after the second period.
