• The format and recognitions will depend on the number of registered participants in each grade level.
• Anticipated sections will be Elementary: K-2nd & 3rd-5th. Secondary: Grades 6–12.
• Pre-registration is encouraged, but walk-ins will be accepted.
• Tournament etiquette and procedures will be explained at the event for players new to tournament play.
