TOURNAMENT OVERVIEW
Tournament games will take place Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.
Friday is reserved as a backup day in the event all games cannot be played Saturday and Sunday. If necessary, only local teams will play on Friday evening.
We have no lodging requirements to participate. We recommend booking accommodations early; they often sell out over Memorial Day weekend. Games will be played at fields easily accessible from Glenwood, Carbondale, or Basalt. New Castle and Aspen will be further from the fields but still manageable.
Parking is extremely limited; carpooling is highly recommended.
DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON FIELDS!
