Tournament Fees

Franklin

- Damage Deposit - $300 per room
Tournament Play
Our goal is to provide all teams with a minimum of 5 games throughout the weekend. This year we will be adding 3rd place and consolation games for many categories with the hope of having teams playing their final game of the tournament against a team of similar strength.
Depending upon the number of teams in your age category, only the top three teams from each pool will advance to the Tier One banner playoffs. The remaining teams will have a chance to win the Tier Two banner.
On the registration form, you will be asked to identify the strength of your team this year. This will help us to assign teams for initial pool play. We may have a power pool in certain categories depending upon the responses from our coaches regarding the quality of their teams.
Tournament Accommodations
Yellowknife has many hotels which provide excellent accommodations for our visitors. However, if you would like your teams to stay at the school during the tournament weekend, we will be providing classrooms at Sir John and St. Pat's on a first come, first serve basis. There are facilities in these schools. Room rental is $25 per room/per night. A $300 damage deposit for every room is also required before the tournament begins. The Sir John foods room will be unavailable for team use.
Tournament Rules
Please read through the tournament rules tab to ensure that you are practicing with the same rules that we will be using for the tournament.
Tournament Organizers/Questions
Dylan Eastcott, Mark Kilbride and Bridget McLeod are the main tournament organizers. We have a strong supporting cast at our schools which include Rob Hart and Tobi Taylor. If you have specific tournament questions, please direct them to bridget.mcleod@yk1.nt.ca.
