ELIGIBILITY: The tournament is open to all girls town travel teams. Out of state teams are welcome, but should have written permission-to-travel approval from their state organizations.  No "invitations" are required in order to apply.

Note -- BAYS Division 3 teams (and comparable teams from outside BAYS) are welcome to enter the tournament.  We intend to have three levels of competition, roughly corresponding to BAYS Division 1, 2, and 3.  Please try to provide us with as much information as you can about your team in the comment field of your application, so we can place your team appropriately -- especially for teams applying from outside BAYS and outside Massachusetts.

Club "developmental" level teams will be considered on a case by case basis.  If accepted, club teams will only play in Division 1.  No Premiere-level teams.

Note -- there is no 11v11 section in U12 since BAYS dropped that format years ago.

GAMES: Each team is guaranteed four games, and may play as many as five. Games are played on Saturday and Sunday.
