NOTE: Please pre-register online by Friday (morning), April 20, 9:00 AM EST. You can pay on the day of the tournament. Pre-registration will make registration on tournament day quicker and we will know how much equipment to prepare. We will bring enough equipment for all pre-registrants but we cannot guarantee that there will be extra equipment for late registrants. It will be done as a first come - first serve basis. Cash prizes are also determined by the number of participants. A larger number of participants will increase the value of the prizes.

ALSO NOTE: There will be no subway service on Line 1 between St Clair West and Union stations on April 21 and 22 due to signal upgrades. Dupont Station will be closed. All other stations will be open for the sale of fares and access to surface routes.
