IS THIS A FAMILY EVENT?

ABSOLUTELY! WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO BRING THEIR FAMILY FOR A GREAT WAY TO SPEND YOUR HOLLIDAY WEEKEND. THERE IS AN AMUSEMENT PARK ON SITE FOR THE KIDS AND ALL KINDS OF SHOPPING ALONG THE BEACH.

 

 

WHAT IF I WANT TO COME PLAY BUT MY CHAPTER ISN'T FIELDING A WHOLE TEAM?

NO PROBLEM! SIMPLY REGISTER YOURSELF AND ADD IN THE MESSAGE THAT YOU DON'T BELIEVE YOUR CHAPTER WILL BE FIELDING A TEAM. IF WE FIND OUT THAT YOUR CHAPTER ACTUALLY HAS ENOUGH TO FIELD A TEAM, GREAT! IF NOT, WE WILL PUT TOGETHER AN "AO NEW ENGLAND" TEAM CONSISTING OF PLAYERS FROM ALL OVER OUR GREAT REGION!

 

 

HOW MANY NIGHTS SHOULD I BOOK MY HOTEL FOR?

WE RECOMMEND BOOKING ALL THREE NIGHTS(FRIDAY, SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY), GAMES ON SATURDAY MAY START RATHER EARLY IN AN EFFORT TO GET ALL THE GAMES PLAYED IN TWO DAYS SO COMING THE NIGHT BEFORE MAY BE A GOOD IDEA. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHERE TO STAY AND RATES, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO SEND US A MESSAGE. 

 

 

WHEN. AND HOW LONG ARE THE GAMES?

WE ARE ALOTTED 11AM-7PM BOTH DAYS. HOWEVER, THE EXACT SCHEDULE WILL NOT BE KNOWN UNTIL WE KNOW JUST HOW MANY TEAMS WE HAVE. THIS IS WHY WE RECOMMEND BOOKING A HOTEL FOR THE FRIDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER, IF POSSIBLE, WE WILL START GAMES LATER ON SATURDAY TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO TRAVEL THAT MORNING. QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS ON THIS MATTER PLEASE CONTACT US. 

 

 

WHAT EXACTLY IS THE AFTER PARTY?

THIS IS A GREAT CHANCE TO MEET FELLOW SOCCER SUPPORTERS FROM AROUND NEW ENGLAND, THERE WILL BE DRINKS, MUSIC, DANCING, AND SOCIALIZING. THE PARTY WILL BE HELD AT EITHER "THE BRUNSWICK" IN OLD ORCHARD BEACH OR "RI RA," OUR HEADQUARTERS, IN PORTLAND. THE 21+ STATUS OF THIS PARTY IS CURRENTLY UNKNOWN. OUR PLAN IS TO HAVE IT SUNDAY NIGHT AFTER THE TOURNAMENT BUT IF WE FIND THAT MOST PEOPLE PLAN TO TRAVEL BACK SUNDAY NIGHT WE CAN HOST IT SATURDAY NIGHT, SO PLEASE LET US KNOW YOUR FEELINGS TOWARDS THIS. 

 

 

WHAT IS THE FORMAT OF THE TOURNAMENT?

THIS WILL BE A GROUP/KNOCKOUT FORMAT TOURNAMENT, JUST LIKE THE WORLD CUP. THIS ENSURES THAT EVERYBODY GETS A MINIMUM OF THREE MATCHES SO NOBODY TRAVELS ALL THE WAY HERE FOR JUST ONE GAME. 

 

 

IS THERE A REGISTRATION DEADLINE?

YES!! THE DEADLINE TO REGISTER IS AUGUST 16TH. WE STRONGLY ECOURAGE PEOPLE TO REGISTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, THIS WILL GIVE US A BETTER IDEA OF WHO IS COMING AND WHAT TO PLAN FOR. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE ARE DOING THIS ANNUAL EVENT SO EVERYBODY'S HELP IS MORE THAN WELCOME.
