Week 8: Divisionals & Club Finals Tournaments
What is a Divisional Tournament? Divisional tournaments are fully online tournaments that occur the last week of the regular season for our Varsity structured leagues. Teams will play against others within their division/group with seeding based on regular season results. Top teams from these tournaments will make it to the State Finals tournament at Wisdom Studios at the Mall of America. More info here: https://www.mnvl.org/springrules
What is a Club Final? Club Final tournaments are fully online tournaments that occur the last week of the regular season for our Club structured leagues. These tournaments will determine who our club champions are, and who will take home some in game prizes. Club leagues do not lead to the state finals, and are an off-season option for some of our more popular games. More info here: https://www.mnvl.org/springrules
