Fan wristbands

If you buy a tournament pass, leave the wristband on for the whole tournament. Torn wristbands cannot be accepted for re-entry on Friday or Saturday.

  • Visiting team (bottom of the bracket or second listed): provides an adult to run the clock and scoreboard.
  • The home team coach reports the final score online at the end of each game using the Report a Score form: division, game #, both teams and the score.
