June 20th Tournament Update:

We have decided that teams only need a minimum of two girls on each team. There will also be no mandatory touch for the girl rule. This means you can have any combination of players as long as at least two girls are on the court. Team fees are still $180 if your team plays with less than 6 players. We think this will be a fun and different option to have to stay competitive.

We have a handful of teams signed up so far but we really would like to get 10-12+ teams signed up to get some big cash payouts. Please message Johnny or I if you have a team and want a spot. Also let us know what level your team is so if we get enough teams we can have two divisions, thank you!

Here are the two pools and schedule for Saturday. Everyone plays 4 games to 25 (cap 27). Again, the top 12 teams advance to playoffs with the top 4 getting a first round bye again. We hope to really stay on time again like the first tournament so please be ready to play at your times. Doors open at 3:00pm so you welcome to stretch and warm up. First games should start right at 3:30.

1/3/26 Tournament update:

As of now we have 14 teams signed up this time due to high demand. We were able to get an earlier start time at 3:30. All 14 teams are guaranteed 4 pool games to 25, but only the top 12 will make playoffs. Please let Johnny or I know if your team needs a later start as soon as possible so we can get the official schedule out. We are also allowing teams that are down only one person for one game only to use a sub that’s available if too many teams are down a body early.
Also please send full rosters asap so we can make pool play schedule as even as possible. More than half the teams signed up dont have full rosters 🙃
