ARRIVAL TIME: Please arrive o­n time. Registration and check-in begins at 10am. Verification of entry fees and a valid photo identification must be displayed at check-in. After identity and eligibility are verified, participants will be assigned to a 3-man qualifying bracket. Participants arriving early will begin play shortly after check-in.

TOURNAMENT FORMAT: Participants are guaranteed at least 2 games in the qualifying bracket. Participants are required to play o­ne (1) game each against the other participants in their assigned qualifying bracket. The winner of each 3-man qualifier earns a position in the Single Elimination Playoff Round (SEPR) scheduled to start at approximately 3:00 PM. The SEPR will begin o­nce enough players are seeded, according to participation. The maximum players allowed to play in the SEPR is 32, however, the SEPR may begin with less than 32 contestants if participation dictates.

QUALIFYING BRACKETS: To make the SEPR participants must win a 3-Man Qualifying Bracket. Qualifying brackets will begin immediately after check-in and announcements have been made. Qualifying brackets will continue until 3pm or until all SEPR slots are filled. Qualifying brackets will begin with 2 participants. For the second game, the loser of the first game will play the remaining participant. For the third game, the winner of the first game will play the participant that did not play in the first game. The participant with the best record in each 3-man qualifier bracket will earn a slot in the SEPR. 3-way ties (1-1) will be settled by point differential, then total points scored.
STATISTICS: Standings will be tracked live o­nline for each game, based o­n win/loss percentage, Point differential, and total points scored. If a winner cannot be determined after total points scored, a coin toss will determine the winner of a qualifying bracket.

BUY BACKS: Participants failing to qualify for the SEPR may attempt to re-qualify by entering another 3 man qualifying bracket to fill remaining SEPR brackets spots. Requalification for the SEPR requires a re-qualification fee of $30.00. To re-qualify, alert a tournament official.

PLAYOFFS: Playoffs will consist of 32 Qualifying Bracket Winners. o­nly participants that win a Qualifying 3-man Bracket are eligible for the SEPR. Playoffs will be Single Elimination.

CREWS PLAYING SAME CREW: Tournament officials will attempt to honor seeding requests to separate participants during 3-Man qualifier brackets.

USE OF HURRY UP OFFENSE: The implementation of the hurry-up offensive philosophy is permitted even after incomplete passes. However, if hurry-up is used after an incomplete pass, the offense must refrain from calling any audibles, hot-routes, play flipping, or other adjustments until the defense is set at the line of scrimmage.
