Round Robin Format to Single Elimination medal bracket.

The tournament director reserves the right to combine skill and/or age levels if necessary and make adjustments to match length or format to optimize tournament flow and maximize play time for all players. He also can make adjustments to skill level when deemed necessary. If brackets are combined to create playable brackets, awards will be based on the original division and not the combined bracket. All players will be notified of changes before play begins.

We are partnering with multiple organizations that benefit foster kids in the Searcy area. We have a unique format for this event in which each team will choose an organization from the provided list. Based on the tournament results, the donations will be dispersed to the selected organizations. We believe this approach will not only raise funds but also increase awareness about the important work being done by various foster care agencies.

If a team chooses not to select an organization, their portion will be evenly assigned across the participating organizations.
