Unsportsmanlike conduct and disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated. (See our Zero Tolerance Policy) We will create a great environment for the people that just want to enjoy the games. We truly are dedicated to this.

No credit/refunds are given on entry fees or deposits less than 2 weeks from the start date of the event, after a division fills (unless we have a replacement), or after the schedule is released. If an event and or age division fills before 2 weeks of the event, we will ask for entry fees asap to hold spots. Teams that have not paid the entry fee by the deadline will be dropped for a waitlist team.


If we can split divisions into classes and odd years, we will do so based on having the entries to do so. We may combine divisions as well.

Age division locations are subject to change. Age division locations in most cases cannot be determined until the scheduling is started. 

Schedules will be released by Monday evening before the event. Circumstances may arise where schedules could be delayed.
