GLADIATOR GAMES SERIES
The Gladiator Games made its debut in 2007 and is returning in 2014. There will be a series of THREE one-day tournaments in Hollywood, Florida on Sundays on:
OCTOBER 26, 2014 (Registrations due by Oct. 17th)
NOVEMBER 16, 2014
DECEMBER 14, 2014
Gladiator Games is meant as a fun season cool down. The fields will not be lined (it was the only way we could secure fields during kids' soccer and football season). There will be a trophy for the winning team at each event and bragging rights.
SERIES POINTS
Each team can win the day by having the best point differential. Teams also have a chance to win the series. Separate from the game scoring, attending teams will receive points as follows (for each event that team attends):
2 points for showing up and playing out the schedule (attendance points) + 1 point for every team in the division that your team beats (competition points). At the end of the series, teams keep all of their attendance points + their two highest competition points.
Teams competing in the series must have not less than five of the same players on the roster at all three events.
There will be a special prize for the team that wins the series.
RULES
The rules for the GG are simple:
1. Two divisions (mixed and open); 5 teams in each division. Mixed will either be 5/2 or 4/3, depending on the numberof women teams can acquire.
2. Rosters must include 10 registered players; no more, no less. If teams are competing in the series, five of the players must be the same for all three events.
3. One day round robin tournament; 4 total games.*
4. Winner based on point differential (NOT win/loss record). Tie breaker: head to head.
5. Separate Gladiator competition: Each team must participate in separate gladiator events (most likely completed at the end of the day). Details about these events coming soon.
* This assumes 5 teams register in each division
REGISTRATION
The cost, per event, is $15 per player ($150/team) + a current USAU membership for each player. NOTE: If you are a current 2014 USAU member, your total cost is $15 per event. If you are not a current USAU member, you can pay the one time event fee of $12.25 and that event fee will cover all three events (so, your first event will cost $27.25 and the remaining two events will cost $15 each). Captains can send the entire $150 payment via PayPal to ultimatekristin@gmail.com. Make sure you choose the "send money to friends or family" option. Any fees passed on to the TD will be charged to the player.
Teams can register for one event at a time or all three events at once. Bids are limited to 5 teams in each division and are secured by payment. As such, to secure your team's spot in all three events, it is best to register for all three events at the same time.
