GOOD QUESTIONS.
Is the tournament confirmed?
Not yet. November 26 is the planned date, and the field reservation is pending. We are gathering team interest before opening paid registration.
How does the $50 deposit work?
The $50 deposit is part of the $600 team entry—not an additional fee. Once deposits open, verified payment and BGSL owner approval secure your spot, leaving $550 to pay. The balance deadline, cancellation and refund terms will be published before payments are accepted. Online checkout is not available yet. If you arrange a Zelle or cash payment directly with BGSL, your payment will be recorded by the owner. Your team stays Pending approval until the owner approves it, and a confirmation email is then queued.
What does the $600 cover?
$600 is the total team entry fee. The complete package, including referee-fee details and roster rules, will be published before anyone pays.
Which payment methods can I use?
Zelle and cash are accepted directly by BGSL. The Zelle number is 239-357-3480. Include your team name in the payment memo. Call or text 239-357-3480 to arrange payment before sending money. Pay on the website will be available after online checkout is connected. Every payment requires BGSL verification and your team stays pending until the owner approves.
Does joining guarantee my team a place?
No. This is a free interest list, not paid registration or a first-come guaranteed reservation. BGSL will contact captains about the official next steps.
How is this different from league registration?
This list is only for the one-day Thanksgiving tournament. Regular-season league registration, player profiles and Ready to Play approvals are separate.
How is my information used?
BGSL stores your team name, captain name, email, phone, roster estimate and account identifier to manage this event’s interest list. Only the authorized BGSL owner can view it. Before any payment or approval is recorded, you can remove your submission using the account controls below the form and resubmit corrected details. Once payment or approval history exists, contact BGSL for corrections or withdrawal so payment records can be preserved. Submitting does not authorize unrelated marketing.
