Schedule Requests

We will try our best to meet schedule requests, but they are not guaranteed. Requests will be honored in order of team registration. 

Division Caps

There are plenty of fields at this complex, so we are not anticipating having caps on the amount of teams we can take! But we still encourage teams to register early to guarantee your place in the FFWCT World Championships! You can see the current team list page here.  

If you earned a full or a 1/2 paid bid through winning any of the FFWCT events or sanctioned events this year that you’ll be redeeming for Worlds, you’ll want to register your team in the “My Team Has a Paid Bid” division. This will allow you to pay the $50 deposit that is required no matter what so we know the team is coming, and will ask you for your division in which we will then move you to that division in short order and will lock you into your registration date for points. If you had a 1/2 bid, we will apply your credit and you will still have a small outstanding balance that will need to be paid by October 1. For teams with a full bid, this is all you’ll have to do.
