d. Any team that does not submit their roster prior to the event will not be permitted to play.

e. PLAYERS MAY NOT PLAY DOWN FOR ANY REASON.  If it is determined that a team had an older player participate in a game, that game (if won) will result in a 0-1 forfeit.  If this happens on day one, that team will become ineligible for the playoffs on day two.  This kind of behavior will also affect the guilty club’s eligibility for future Adrenaline events.

c. If for some reason you are unable to play a scheduled day two matchup please let us know at the Information Tent by 8:00am Sunday morning.  If you can not attend your scheduled games and do not make the Information Tent aware, it will affect that club’s eligibility for future Adrenaline events.
