Tournament Information

We are currently working with state and local health authorities to determine the number of people they will allow in the arena. We have been unable to get a definitive number from them. 

For now I would plan for at least one spectator for each player. I do caution that this may change as we get closer to the actual event date. 

Sorry I cannot be any clearer. Due to the pandemic, many situations have become fluid, and unpredictable. 

Rest assured we are committed to hosting Spikefest as long as it is permitted by the health authorities.
