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 one of two fundraising goals: 

Champion Team minimum fundraising goal of $1500 early bird ($1600 after Sunday, September 24th)

Regular Team minimum fundraising goal of $550 early bird ($650 after Sunday, September 24th)

In order for a team to participate, they must raise their minimum by Monday October 23 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! ;)
