The
2014 version of the Open Tournament in Elkland, Pa is shaping up nicely. The NY Swashbucklers will be co hosting this year along with the NY Gremlins and Pennsylvania Power. The Elkland Thunderbellies will be working their usual magic on the fields and as hosts but are holding off on putting their team in until we get the field of teams set. They have graciously offered to enter if we get an odd # of teams so nobody is locked out of the tournament.
Dates - July 18 -20Entry fee - $500
Cash Prize - To be announced based on # of teams
Format - Round Robin followed by single elimination
We are excited about the teams that have already committed:
Hill United Chiefs
NY Gremlins
PA Power
Hallman Twins
Circle Tap
NY Swashbucklers
Toronto Gators
Chicago NY
Teams that have been contacted or inquired but not committed yet are:
Scarborough Force
Bloomington Stix
The Bar Buzz
Elkland Thunderbellies
If any teams are interested that are not on either list I suggest they contact someone on the tournament committee soon as we expect to fill up early this year.
