Greetings Smasherz!
Cincinnati is right around the corner, and we have a few updates for you regarding the event. Please take the opportunity to read everything closely!
The Draft will Be LIVE on Friday, Aug 23
We are going to super charge the excitement of the Meet and Greet by doing the player draft LIVE! Location to be determined, likely to start around 7:00pm. While you are not required to be in attendance, we encourage everyone to attend if they are able. We'll make sure it's a good time for everyone!
Player Kit Pickup
As part of this switch to Live Draft, your player kit will be slightly different. Player kits can be picked up on Friday night as usual, but your jerseys will not be inside. Instead, coaches will have the jerseys with them to distribute on Saturday morning before your games begin.
Player Registration Still Open - Plus New Play Only Kit
With the shift towards a live draft, we can now take player registration much later than before. More players means more fun and more prizes, so please help us spread the word that we have space available for any players who wish to play this weekend. We have also heard feedback from a lot of players looking for a new kit option, so a $79.95 Play & Jersey kit has been added to the package list.
Two Days of Play - Standard Time Limits
We will start play on Saturday morning and end play on Sunday evening. In our last tournament in Cincinnati, we played with no time-limits which proved to be a little much for most players in the heat. This time, we have increased to a 6gg but your pool play and bracket matches will be timed and breaks scheduled as much as possible.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
