General Info

Welcome to High Stakes. This will be a fun filled fast paced day. Come ready to compete. We are using Smart Field Controls, but not bluetooth. Please have your bluetooth modes disabled before the tournament. 

We look forward to hosting this years tournament. Due to overwhelming demand, we are going to keep the middle and high school tournaments on separate days! Saturday will be Middle School, and Sunday will be High School. Both events could fill up quickly, please get your registrations in quickly as well. We have a HARD CAP of 34 teams for this tournament, and 4 of those are Ladue teams. We absolutely cannot expand past the 34 team cap (we don't have the space in our second gym area). Spectators are allowed and more than welcome to attend and cheer on their favorite team. Thank you all for your support this year!
