KANJAM TOURNAMENT INFO

Can I still enter the KanJam Tournament?

If the registration link is active on this page then, YES! If not, sorry tournament registration is closed. But, if you attend this year, you can check out the competition for next year.


Can I play KanJam even though I'm not registered for the tournament?

Yes, but not in the tournament. We will have extra KanJam sets available for recreational play in the afternoon after the tournament concludes.


What is the format of the KanJam Tournament?

The tournament will be a 40 team double elimination blind draw format. 4 separate 40 team tournaments will be going on at the same time. The champion from each will compete in the final four. Each team will draw a number to decide on first match up.

Teams drawing 1 thru 8 will need to play one additional match. There are 8 courts in each color group. Court 1 - 3 will be reserved for "Winners Bracket" games only. Courts 4 - 8 will be reserved for "Loser Bracket" games only. This will be done to try to keep the tournament moving.

Teams will be assigned to a court for their first game depending upon their draw number. Please only play your first game on your assigned court.

Sly Fox will not be held responsible for their actions or picking up your pet's doo-doo.

Will the Sly Fox Tastin' Room be open?

Yes, but we will have a limited menu for the event. Don't worry, our lip-smacking pizza is on the list! Due to the number of guests we are expecting, unfortunately there will be no carry out beer available, nor will there be growler fills or flights.
