 FORMAT

All teams, weather permitting, will be guaranteed 3 matches - two on Saturday and one on Sunday. Finals will be played on Sunday afternoon. We are committed to placing teams in groups with other teams of comparable strength/ ability that ensure competitive matches against teams they do not regularly play.  The tournament committee does reserve the right to combine age groups (by 1 year only) if an insufficient number of teams apply to form a single year age group.
