Each group winner will play off in a finals match.
Note: only the group winners will play a finals game, unless the draw requires a 2nd best placing to proceed. 

Finals winners will be presented with a Championship Cup and Medallions will be awarded to all final's participants.

We would encourage teams to register as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. As soon as an age group category is full, registrations for that category will be immediately closed and a waitlist option offered.
