Can I play on more than one team in the tournament?
Most Divisions will conflict.Divisions will also be at different parks throughout the Vegas area so it will be extremely difficult to play on two separate teams. Also, you can only play on one team of the same gender. For example... if playing Men’s D you can’t play Men’s E.
Anyone playing in the Open division can't play on an "E" team unless you are rated as a D player or below.
What happens if a team no-shows?
If a team NO SHOWS and you receive a forfeit victory, this does give your team a win and counts toward your 3GG.
