*We never close registration!  But, active registration ends July 14, 2023.  After that date, your team will be placed on a waiting list so we can organize brackets and might be requested to shift to a different division.

  • 3/1 Beer – 3 Male, 1 Female players on the field for each point.   Beer Divisions are for teams who care more about fun than winning.
  • 2/2 Beer – 2 Male, 2 Female players on the field for each point. Beer Divisions are for teams who care more about fun than winning.
  • 2/2 Competitive* – 2 Male, 2 Female players on the field for each point (*Minimum 8 teams).
  • GM Mixed –Grand Masters comprised of Male(40+yo) and Female (37+yo) members. 2 Male, 2 Female players on the field for each point.  (If both captains agree at the beginning of the match, they may opt to play 3/1).
  • High School Mixed -SUNDAY only/reduced fee* – 3 Male, 1 Female players on the field for each point(If both captains agree at the beginning of the match, they may opt to play 2/2) (*this division may be eliminated if insufficient teams register to create a pool)

Initial $500 TEAM registration fee covers up to 10 players on your roster.  Even if you only have 7 players on your roster, the team fee still applies.

Each additional player is $50 and there is NO roster limit.  (Your roster can have 20+ members)

If you have more than 10 players, we need the additional funds (charged as per player) to cover all the costs involved with having additional persons at the event.  Do the math: (12 members = Team fee(covers 10) + 2*(player fee) = $500 + 2*($50) = $500 + $100 = $600 total for 12 members.)

This is a NON USAU sanctioned event.

Friday night, Fast Pass begins at 8 pm, General check-in begins at 9pm, runs to 10 pm. Location: Blue Water Grille second floor at the Bolero Resort, 21+ ID required for entry.  Under 21, there will be an alternate check-in location.

REGARDING INDIVIDUAL PLAYER FEES.

Requests must be made by email to [email protected].  Include all details, start with TEAM NAME, Division, Captain, Player and What is the request.  (duplicate registration error; dropping from team; etc.).  REMINDER.  we can not refund the TEAM FEE (that is the minimum payment). Only fees that are “EXTRA” can be refunded.  See below for information to swap or ‘replace’ players. There are NO REFUNDS after the tournament starts FRIDAY check-in registration.  (we procured resources based on the registration numbers).

 

For captains.  (you must be registered captain and logon to the ultimatecentral.com site to modify the roster)

To modify your roster, please follow instructions here, to perform a ‘drop and swap’.

https://ultimatecentral.com/pt_pt/p/have-a-drop-swap-the-spot-with-ultimate-centrals-new-roster-replace-feature

This is the best means to exchange players on your roster.

Only Registered Captains can edit the roster.  However CHECK YOUR ROSTER BEFORE FRIDAY NIGHT, heck, BEFORE FASTPASS DEADLINE. BE AWARE OF DOUBLE-REGISTRATIONS! (Where the Captain added a Player, AND the same Player added themselves to the team roster a second time!!!!).  CHECK YOUR ROSTER BEFORE FRIDAY NIGHT CHECK-IN, heck, BEFORE FASTPASS DEADLINE. Please No Changes after July 26, 2023!  (FASTPASS Deadline)

DO NOT change your team name after July 15! *SERIOUSLY*. Changing team names last minute creates a scheduling headache that waste TDs’ time, so Just DON’T DO IT! The TDs will change it back to the name prior to that date.

SPECIAL REQUESTS.  Please register your team BEFORE you make a special request.
We are unable to fulfill any requests if your team doesn’t exist in registration.

Send Requests to [email protected]

ALL Team-related requests must come from the TEAM CAPTAIN.  For your request, please include: Division, FULL TEAM NAME, team Captain name/email.
Then, write the EXACT request you are making.  (i.e.  we want 2 teams on opposite schedule close to each other;  We want to play against team X, etc.)
If you are missing critical information, you request can not be fulfilled. (i.e., if you need to drop a player from your roster, you need to include their full name and email address)
All fully understandable requests are filed by date, and fulfilled in order of date filed.

We make every effort to accommodate all requests, made PRIOR to July 15.
