  • Comments: A 3 day weekend you sure don’t want to miss out on, we already have teams coming from as far as Canada! Open up your season with a bang by playing up to 10 games over the holiday weekend. Last year this tournament filled up fast (most age groups were full in January) and featured several national champions. Competition is pretty strong, so don’t miss out on a chance to play some of the top teams on the East Coast. Guaranteed best team and individual trophies around along with Game MVP medals! 6 pool games into elimination with gold, silver, and bronze brackets for championship play (based on your seeding). This tournament is a good fit even for younger teams - you don't get any better without playing good competition (play the best, then become the best)! We’ve historically started as late as possible on Saturday morning and try to do the inverse Monday, starting early to get teams out in a timely manner. We will have up to 80 teams in some age groups. Register early as spots are limited. All teams will get a game MVP medal every game.
