Challenger Structure
The Challengers are hosted by roundnet organizations with the sponsorship and support of Spikeball!
We want to:
- Spotlight local organizations
- Help build their brands
- Promote innovation and ownership
If an organization thinks a higher registration fee and catered lunch is going to be more successful - go for it. If they think playing til midnight is the best - have fun with it. As long as all hosts are meeting safety and quality standards, we want them to have the freedom to own a unique event.
Standards
- Follow USAR Rules & Sanctioned Tournament Guidelines
- Follow STS Tournament Guidelines
- Use Fwango.io for registration & tournament management
- STS Membership for all participants, USAR Membership for all participants (US based events only)
TD Decides
- Pricing model
- Prizes
- Divisions offered
- Tournament timing
- Mixed on Sunday
