The tournament format is similar to the World Cup with double elimination for the top teams. We will have 16 teams total. Each team can have four or five players, with four players playing at one time. No goalkeeper. Teams will be guaranteed to play three matches. There will be 4 groups and game points are based on wins (3), ties (1), or losses(0). Each game is 30 minutes long.
Play, have fun, and support a great cause: All proceeds will fund scholarships that will be awarded to high school students from Arlington, Fairfax, and Prince William County Public Schools in Edu-Futuro's Emerging Leaders Program (ELP).
Only one player needs to fill out the registration form for each team, but all players are required to acknowledge and sign the waiver to play.
