Tournament

General Info

ALL players on the roster MUST complete the registration form to be officially on the roster.

The Captain can register the team and pay for the fee but each player still has to complete registration and receive their e-ticket in their own name.

e-tickets will be sent via Eventbrite and will allow for faster entry into the venue.

Please be sure to bring ID with you to the tournament. We will be verifying ID at registration to make sure your name matches your profile. No ID equals no participation in the tournament.

If your legal name does not match your profile name, we will need to correct that.

Overview

LAVO strives to help our community and this time we are more than happy to work with Pan Pacific Park to host a co-ed tournament. All proceeds raised will be donated to the park's programming efforts for children.

If you want to play in the tournament but don't have a team, please use our matchmaker page to place an ad/bio so all captains looking for players may find you.
