- Models for any player on your roster

Tournament Play & Roster Deadline
We will be using Tourplay to manage this tournament. We will create the event in Tourplay and open it at least 3 weeks before the event. The reason we won't do this until around that time is because Tourplay now charge based on how long the Tournament has been "open" and we want to keep these costs to a minimum.
Roster deadline: 1st October 2025
