Our inaugural girl's event in 2005 saw 72 teams competing on 20 courts. The tournament hosted single age groups for 18/17/16/15/14 and under teams on a first come first served basis all in the convention center. The 2006 event saw 124 teams competing on 22 courts in the convention center. We once again hosted single age groups that included Open and Club Divisions for the 16's and 18's. The tournament filled well ahead of the entry deadline. Last year nearly 250 teams competed over the holiday weekend.
