• Register and pay before Sunday midnight, May 30, for a free tee-shirt and discounted registration fee.
• We will order the shirt size listed in your AVP America profile, so make sure the size listed in your profile is accurate.

The tournament will consist of pool play in the morning followed by seeded bracket play in the afternoon. Players will use BracketPal to update scores throughout the day. Number of games/points for pool play are published to each division on BracketPal. Playoff brackets will be published online showing court #, game time and # of games for each reffing and playing team.

Cash prizes will be awarded to the winners of adult divisions (Open/AA, A, BB) and merchandise prizes for Junior and Adult B divisions. OPEN Division payouts are 90+%. Exact % varies due to division variables (e.g. shirt costs & early vs late registration fees).

• Check-in Opens @ 8:00 and ends @ 8:40 AM

If you're looking for a team, we recommend the PartnerUp! App. Search for the tournament and list what format/skill you need and the app can match you with players.  Also, feel free to post your division/ skill level on the Facebook Event Page and we'll do our best to connect you with a team.
