Year End Tournament Format - Sunday September 6th:

The season is almost at an end which means its time for the annual tier 1 and 2 tournaments, which will be held this Sunday September 6th.
 
Over the past years it has become a favourite amongst player's after introducing a final play-off spot for the winner of the Tier 2 tournament and bragging rights for the winner of the Tier 1 tournament.
 
The tier 2 tournament will be the same format as last year. The winner will fill the 12th and final spot of the play-offs.  We will follow suit with Tier 1 and will be picking teams randomly from a hat for scheduling
 
Before we make the schedule we need to know if you're team will be participating this year. We need an answer no later then this Thursday September 3, 2015.  6:00pm. If we do not receive a reply we will presume your team will not be participating.  We will be sending out the schedule on Friday. As we cannot guarantee your time slot please note that this is an all day event so schedule yourself accordingly.  Players will require 12 games to participate.

Update: Tier 1 tournament is cancelled due to lack of teams.
