    Entry fee must be paid to guarantee your spot in the event.  The deadline for payment is 14 days prior to the event unless otherwise communicated by the tournament director.

    Once your division is full a waiting list will be created.  If a team on the waiting list pays before a team in the event, they will be moved into the event and the last team to enter the event who is not paid, will be moved to the waiting list.

    Some divisions will not play on turf, thus the difference in entry fee.
