This event will have a  tournament/showcase format. Teams will be placed in brackets of 8 and games will start in the Quarter-Finals. Teams will play 3 80-minute games over Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Games can not end in a tie so any game that is tied at the end of regulation will be moved to our PK Shootout Zone where pk's will take place until a winner of the game can be determined so let the fun and competition begin! The schedule will be predetermined A1 v A8, etc and if a team wins they move into the winners bracket. If a team loses the team will be moved to the consolation bracket.
