Start Time - The tournament starts times are 8 am for the morning wave and 2 pm for the afternoon wave. This is the rule for Saturday and Sunday. Monday brackets will start at various times throughout the day. Check the tournament desk for any changes. Traditionally we don't schedule 5 pm matches on Monday. Obviously the numbers of teams in the tournament will dictate the format but that is our goal.
