Top Gun Tournaments are a big deal in youth sports. They’re popular events that host all sorts of sports, from baseball and softball to soccer and lacrosse.
If you’re planning to participate in or spectate at Top Gun Tournaments, you’ve come to the right place. This article will give you a rundown of everything you need to know, including schedules, registration info, and other essential details for both players and fans.
Tournament Structure and Schedules
The Top Gun tournaments are divided into age groups such as 10U, 12U, 14U, and 16U, and both boys’ and girls’ teams are welcome to compete. Separate brackets are created for each age group and gender.
The tournaments use a variety of bracket formats, including round-robin and single-elimination, and the brackets can vary in size, with some tournaments featuring “2 brackets of 5” teams, for example.
Teams advance from bracket play to the semifinals and finals, and in some age groups, there are cross-bracket semifinals.
Consolation matches are also scheduled, such as a 5v6 consolation match on Sunday to give the teams a chance to play as many games as possible.
