The first round of the Tournament Bracket Schedule is posted HERE for your convenience.  

Championship games will take place at 1PM, assuming no overtime games take place throughout the day.  In addition, here are a few additional details that might help you prepare for your first game… If you have ANY questions not answered here, please don’t hesitate to email or call us!

May 20th Instructions : Please be sure to arrive 30 minutes before your first game.   Once you arrive at the beach, you’ll need to go directly to the main tent to sign in and receive your wristband (wristbands are required to play), your raffle tickets, and ask any questions you may have.  Please check the large Announcement Boards throughout the day for updated brackets and schedules.  Games will start on time for two 15 minute halves, with a 3-5 minute halftime.  Sandwiches will be provided by our Sponsor Hurricanes Bar and Grill, and can be picked up at the tent at 11AM (or your break within the closest proximity to Noon).   Alcohol is not permitted due to State Law, but prepackaged ice chests, water bottles, gatorades, snacks, and beach gear (tents, games, beach chairs, etc) is encouraged!!

School Supply Drive:  (Optional) Bring school supplies or toys to donate to the Charity Drive for local kids and/or donate CASH!  We will also be raffling off prizes from Big Brother Big Sisters that 100% of the profit will go towards their foundation that makes a difference in the lives of thousands of kids here in Orange County.  (Please email ahastings@bigbrooc.org to request a 401C3 Donation Receipt for any Tournament Purchases)

League Rules:  Our Rules are prefaced by our 3 basic Golden Rules: 1) Be Honest.  2) Show Good Sportsmanship at all times (this includes helping everyone up off the sand - whether teammate or opponent - and shaking hands after every game). and 3) Leave our beach cleaner than when you found it.  You can familiarize yourself with a full list of rules on our website:  http://www.beachcitysports.com/football-rules/ .  Please note for tournaments that game-times are reduced to two 15 minute halves.  All other rules remain the same.

Game Location : Games will be located at Beach Blvd & Pacific Coast Highway, on the City Beach (North of State Beach) side of the Beach Blvd.

Parking:  We recommend you take advantage of carpooling whenever possible.  Paid Parking Day Lots are available directly at Beach & Pacific Coast Highway (The city parking lot is less expensive than the $15 State Parking Lot).  Metered parking is also available all alongside PCH, or there is free parking along Beach Blvd within a 2-block walking distance from PCH.  

Photos & Facebook :  Professional photos of the games will be posted on our Facebook page:  www.facebook.com/beachcitysports .  

Team Uniforms:  We encourage each team to coordinate with their own color(s) or theme!  At a minimum please bring both a light and dark shirt to represent home & away.  Proper attire will also include comfortable shorts or pants without belt loops (men - avoid baggy shorts that impede with hanging flags).  Shirts are required to be TUCKED IN if they interfere with the flag-belt in any way. We also suggest BRINGING SAND SOCKS just in case the sand is too hot as it often is this time of year.  Flags & other equipment will be provided.  

Food & Drinks: Hydration is important when playing outdoor sports, so please be sure to pack your own water bottle.  Water and Sunrype Fruit Bars will be provided for free under the main tent, however please feel free to bring your own coolers, snacks, and drinks.  At Noon Hurricanes will provide sandwiches for all of the players at the Main Tent; as well as after the games, Hurricanes Bar and Grill will be offering 25% off their entire menu to all players for the rest of the day. 

Divisions and Tournament Schedule: Teams have been divided into 2 Divisions, and ranked within their division according to a blind random drawing of team names.  Games will be two 15 minute halves, with a 3-5 minute halftime.  If your team makes it to the Championship Game undefeated, you will can home with a single loss depending on the outcome of that game.

>>Brackets will be posted on our website before 5PM on Thursday<<
