Summary:
Bayou City Se7ens Fall Series ‘24 is a 9-game 2-event NAF-approved series that will culminate in a Championship and Banana Bowl cut after 7 games to determine our overall champion and Top Banana winners! This 2-event series replaces the league format on the perpetual trophy where winner’s names are glorified in perpetuity.
Bayou City Se7ens Fall Series ‘24 will culminate in a top-4 cut who will play for THE RING and also qualify for the Texas Super Se7ens Series Bowl to be held TBD.
Anyone can play in the Bowl! Those not qualified will play in the Texas Super Se7ens Series Banana Bowl. These two Bowl’s will be held concurrently and will result in the Texas Super Se7ens Series Champion and Texas Super Se7ens Series Top Banana!
Finally, the Texas Super Se7ens Series Bowl Champion team will advance to the Destin Se7ens Invitational to compete against other participating states to claim the National Se7ens Championship!
