Friday August 1st, or Saturday, August 2nd
Registration will be held at the entrance of the venue, on the Friday night (exact time will be shared closer to the tournament). Participants who can't make it on Friday will be able to register at the venue on Saturday, early in the morning before 9am, we encourage you if you can to register on the Friday. Registered participants will be given an all-access bracelet that will be used on both Saturday and Sunday - don't throw it out! Those bracelets are required to access the locker rooms, the warm-up zone, and other restricted areas.
The teams meeting will be Friday (exact time will be shared closer to the tournament). We will use one of the unused locker rooms. You can send whoever you want - team captains, coaches, or other delegates. For teams who cannot make it, please send someone to see the THR on Saturday before your first game for a summary.
Friday Officials Meeting (Team reps can attend if they want).
Details coming...
Teams are allowed to have 20 players and 4 staff members registered for the tournament. Players may only be on a single team's roster, and can only skate with one team.
Teams may select up to 15 of their 20 players to be on the bench for a game. Players can be moved to and from game rosters during the whole tournament. There will be a table near the officiating room with a roster sheet for each team that has more than 15 players on their team roster. For each one of their games, the team will be able to make an 'X' besides the players that are being removed for that specific game - ie. those that won't be at the bench. A team's game roster must be turned in 2 hours before their game. The sheets should stay on the table.
Teams may have up to 4 staff members on their bench during a game. The staff cannot be wearing skating equipment - only rostered players can wear skating equipment. It is acceptable for staff members to be players or bench staff for other teams.
The Beast welcomes women, non-binary, trans, and gender nonconforming folks, however, as the tournament is not coed, cismen cannot participate in the games as players. They are more than welcome to apply for other tournaments positions as ref, NSO, team staff, ATs, volunteers, etc..
Team rosters will be here once they have been submitted and processed: LINK TBD
Trying to pass a skater as another skater by switching uniforms or any other similar abuse of the roster system will amount in a possible automatic forfeit of the game regardless of the actual final score. Other sanctions may also apply.
The tournament games are not sanctionned by the WFTDA.
Game Length: First and third place games: 2 periods of 20 minutes, 5-minute halftime. All other games: 1 period of 20 minutes

On the document, the first team column is the "top slot" and the second is the "bottom slot". This refers to where the team's name appears on the game schedule - every game has a team placed on top, and one on the bottom.
The warmup for a game starts exactly when the previous game starts. Each team gets 15 minutes in the warmup area, and the rest of the time is shared amongst the teams as they see fit.
An always up-to-date schedule with teams names and previous results will be posted just outside the officiating room. You may see other copies throughout the venue, especially near the locker rooms - they may not always be up-to-date. Results will also be updated online.
Four locker rooms will be shared by 12 teams. Although the sharing schedule is still being worked out, signs will be displayed on the locker room doors to indicate to the teams which room they will use. There isn't enough space in the locker rooms to leave equipment between games. We'll try to set up a place where equipment can be left in the arena, and while we try to keep it safe from snoopers, we can't be held responsible for missing equipment.
There is usually street parking near the venue. Please read the signs carefully near the venue.
It's a generally calm area, but we don't recommend leaving any valuables visible.
TBD
