PLEASE NOTE:
PFTC ALWAYS FILLS UP MONTHS IN ADVANCE!
Space fills by physical field space not by slots in any brackets.
If this is a tourney that you want to play....PAY RIGHT AWAY.

In addition to team registration fees, we
challenge each team to raise funds to give directly to Ozark Komen for
the Cure. We refer to this as your "Team
Challenge Donation" which is due at the tournament. (Fundraising
Tips) Since 2006, we've collectively donated $130,000 to Ozark Komen. Our goal for 2012 is $30,000. This would include each
team fundraising and contributing to the Team Challenge Donations, the
Springdale Chicks donation of 20% of profits, Queen of the Heat & other
contest fees and additional direct donations.
Because Team Challenge Donations are
direct donations without a service, they are 100% tax-deductible as
dictated by law. An award will be given to the team with the
highest Team Challenge Donation in each bracket and an overall Grand
Award Winner.
Tournament
Director reserves the right to modify tournament format.
