WHAT IS THE COMMISSIONER’S CUP? (8U-12U DIVISIONS ONLY)

The Commissioner’s Cup is our region’s end of the Spring Season single elimination tournament for the 8U-12U Divisions. The winner of this tournament will be declared the Tournament Champion for their division and earn their Commissioner’s Cup First place medal.

HOW TO QUALIFY FOR THE COMMISSIONER'S CUP 

To Qualify for the Commissioner’s Cup you must complete all required Volunteer Points Per Division

Commissioner’s Cup – Single Elimination Tournament is for 8U – 12U Divisions only

▪  Commissioner’s Cup participation will be based on completing required number of Volunteer Points.  Once admitted into the tournament via reaching their Volunteer Points requirement, a team’s bracket placement is based on their win/loss record.

▪  In the event of a tie in win/loss record bracket placement we will use the total number of volunteer points to break the tie.

▪  If a team does not meet their volunteer points requirement…the team is not entered into the tournament.

▪  Volunteer points become final for that week by the following Saturday. No adjustments will be made to current volunteer points after the 1st week adjustment period has ended.
