Tournament games
Each Team is required to weigh in and have all tournament documents verified prior to the start of the first game. Each player will be "tagged" as an eligible participant at that time. Competition will begin Saturday, November 17th. Each Team is guaranteed to play two games. The tournament design consists of six divisions each with four teams per division. Winners from game one in each division will compete against each other in game two and the same will work for the losers from game one.

The games consist of four 10 min quarters with a 15 min half time. Teams are encouraged to bring their cheer squads for halftime entertainment. A sound system will be available for cheer squads. All game Officials are certified.
Match-ups are determined by Team Rosters ages and weights. What makes this tournament unique is that we site scout in order to determine the best match-ups. In addition to scouting, Teams are required to submit game films. The film will be reviewed by the tournament committee. The goal of the tournament committee is quality Junior Football.

Tournament Philosophy
         1. The Holiday Gridiron Classic was established to provide an       opportunity for youth football teams to extend their regular season and showcase their skills against teams from various parts of the western region of the country and Canada. The tournament is not designed to determine the best youth football teams in the West.
       2. The tournament is open to youth football teams with players 8-14 years of age. Teams are accepted for entry regardless of their won-loss record.
      3. Teams who are committed to fair play and acceptance of the rules and procedures outlined by Mountain Northwest will be guaranteed entry as long as space remains available.
