My team is registered for the waitlist. Now what?
Well you are going to have to wait! Unfortunately we can only have a certain number of teams participate and we are sorry for this. On occasion some teams may drop out or have to cancel due to unforseen circumstances. In the event of a cancelation, our policy is to work our way down the waitlist to fill the open spots. Hopefully, we can get you into the action but either way we would love to see you during tournament weekend to watch some games or possibly even volunteer!
