End of Season Tournament – NEW FOR 2026!
- We are still working on the details, but it will likely one of the last weekends in August right after the season ends.
- The seeding will be random and will have nothing to do with the regular summer season. This ensures that the summer season stays light without records.
- There will likely be costs associated with the tournament. The costs will spread across all of the participating teams evenly.
