This event qualifies teams for the World Championship!
This event is open to any team wishing to attend; no qualifying is required.
Up to 50 teams per division will be accepted. If a minimum of 18 teams per
division is not reached, all teams will play in a single division. The registration fee must be paid in full no later than 2 weeks prior to the event. Register now and pay later–submit a PO for payment by Jan. 15, and
you’ll still have 30 days to pay!
Registration for this event has been extended to Friday, Jan. 14. Teams, sign up today for this inaugural event! Richmond is centrally located in the Virginia, so 2 hours or less for most of you. The site is close to I-95, Rt. 1, and beltway Rt. 288, so it is easy access.
Volunteers are still needed! Contact Darlene if you want to judge, ref, queue teams, or do anything else to make this tournament a success.
Any updates? I’m sure there are some teams out there who are looking for a competition to come too! It promises to have lots of rounds, with plenty of opportunities to face off against challengers!
Let’s try and make this first-year competition a good one!!
I’d like to chime in with our thanks as well. Darlene and her able volunteers did a wonderful job of pulling off their first event.
It was also great to see some new faces mixed in with the veterans. We had a terrific time competing with all of you, and I expect/hope that we will see some of the same teams at the mid-atlantics (or, perhaps, the BEYA in DC).
