All teams are guaranteed 7 games (except 10U – 5GG, Saturday and Sunday only). All age groups will be split into 2 pools. The winners of each pool will advance to the championship. Only 10 teams in the entire tournament (2 per age group) will make it to the championship. This tournament will not have bracket play. The winner and finalist from each age group will receive medals.

The schedule should be emailed out to coaches and posted on our web site approximately 14 days before the tournament.

The tentative rules are posted on the tournament page. Final rules will be in the coach's packet that is picked up at registration.

As of 2020, in order to maintain the highest quaility turf fields, Berliner Park has prohibited metal cleats by all players on all fields at the park. Plastic cleats, turf shoes and sneakers are permitted.  There will be no exception to this rule.

For this tournament booking team hotel rooms through a hotel coordinator is a requirement of ours, and using HelmsBriscoe is in our contract with Berliner Sports Park. No other hotel agency can be used for a tournament at Berliner Sports Park and you cannot book hotels independently.  Any non-local team (more than 70 miles away) that does not abide by this requirement will not be permitted to participate in the tournament.
