Registration Notes:
We ask that registrations beginning June 28 be limited to LGBTQ+ individuals, and groups and teams with at least one member of the LGBTQ+ community. While we love and welcome allies, to ensure our LGBTQ+ siblings have ample opportunity to join us, we kindly ask you all to wait until July 5 before registering.
Additional Potomac teams will be placed on this year's waitlist. A Potomac team has 3 or more members from Potomac.
Partial Teams and Singles:
If you don’t have a full team, you are encouraged and welcome to register. We will pair you up with other individual entrants. There will be an indicator on the registration form if you are a single player or incomplete team. Note: Please ONLY use this option for incomplete team entries or single entrants. Full teams should enter together.
This event fills up very quickly so please be respectful when signing up. Please only sign up as a team if you have a complete team. We encourage individual players to participate and are happy to pair you up with other players if you don’t have a complete team! Please check this website closer to the registration date in case we have any updates on registration format.
