“Our tournament continues to emphasize friendship, sportsmanship, and family participation. Invitations have been sent to more teams than slots available. Because of this we urge everyone to respond as soon as possible,” said organizing President Bong Malasarte in an email to the Marianas Variety.
The entry fee for all divisions is $750 per team which is inclusive of uniforms. Interested teams can also pay $500 for the registration fee exclusive of uniform.
