A prize will also be given to the tournament-winning team. If you can’t win on the field, step up your game off the field for a great cause – or win both! 

3. Bragging rights

Double the awards means double the chances for bragging rights, right? Teams of 12 or more are accepted for this event, so gather your toughest pals and get ready to win.
