This gameplay format will afford six games on the weekend, prioritizing as few back to backs as possible. Consolation games may be scheduled on Sunday based on logistic availability, including officials and equipment.
College
The collegiate division will be a one day four team round robin with no bracket on Saturday. Bids will be awarded based on rankings upon the conclusion of all round robin games. One collegiate D1 bid and two collegiate D2 bids will be available.
Watching Online
Games on Pitch 1 will be streamed on the USQ Twitch channel, pending weather. Additional games may be recorded and uploaded to YouTube later in the winter. We recommend following the Twitch channel in advance in order to receive notifications when matches go live.
