Qualifying Tournaments

Celebrating after competition

NorCal Qualifying Tournament System

In Northern California, we run competitions based on a Qualifying Tournament model. If you have participated in OM in the past, you may remember tournaments being set up according to a regional system. In an effort to make tournaments more accessible to all teams, we have moved from a regional setup to a Qualifying Tournament system.

This means teams can participate in the Qualifying Tournament of their choice, subject to availability. Teams can choose a tournament based on the most convenient time or location, rather than having to compete on a specific date or at a specific venue.

Our association currently hosts two Qualifying Tournaments. Registration for the tournaments opens on November 27th at 6 pm and will remain open until December 31st at 9 pm.
