Registration Questions
How many players are allowed on a team?
Each team's table has a maximum of 10 seats.
Is there a registration fee to play?
No. Instead of a team registration fee, each team commits to raising one of two fundraising goals: Champion Team minimum fundraising goal of $1500 and Regular Team minimum fundraising goal of $600 (early bird $500). In order for a team to participate, they must raise their minimum by Monday November 14th at 5:00PM. Of course, since this is a fundraising event for kids involved with the Children's Aid Foundation of Ottawa, you are encouraged to raise more than the minimum requirement!

Registration closes on Monday, November 14th at 5:00PM.
