Middling, or thinly published. Check how many of the four terms facts this organizer actually put on the record before reading anything into the figure.

How this is calculated

How much of this is published

Fully published4 of 4

This organizer publishes all four terms facts, so the grade rests entirely on stated figures.

The four gradeable facts are the entry fee, the refund policy, the hotel requirement and the guaranteed game count. Anything the organizer leaves out is priced at the middle of its range rather than counted against them — most operators quote on application, and a grade that punished silence would be reporting our own missing data as their failing.

Attendee Rating

Positive4.0/5(provisional)

Reliably good. Reviewers would return, with one or two caveats worth reading. Based on 1 review so far — under 3 it stays provisional and will move as more teams file.

Attendee Rating

4.0/5

1 review · provisional · 100% would return

Coaches, managers, parents, players, officials and scouts who attended. Never the organizer.

Reviewers here averaged 4.2 out of 5. The published figure is 4.0 because a rating from a handful of reviews is pulled toward the directory average until there are enough of them to stand on their own — which is what stops one glowing review putting an event at the top of the table.

Coaches, managers, parents, players, officials and scouts who attended. Never the organizer.

Organizers may answer a review in public, and their responses are labelled and shown. They are excluded from every average, count and return rate here, so an operator cannot move their own rating.

What to expect

Five games across two days on six courts in a single building, with a flexible refund window and no hotel requirement. Only one published review so far, so the experience score is provisional and should not be read as settled; the two-day compression means three games on the Saturday.

What a player gets seen doing

Not published

11 / 22 exposure points

The organizer publishes nothing about scouts, streaming, video or stats. That is normal for a house or in-season tournament and is not held against the event.

Not stated by the organizer

  • Scouts and college coaches attend
  • Showcase format
  • Advances to a championship
  • Games streamed
  • Game video for teams
  • Live stats and standings
  • Professional photography

Silence is scored as an unknown, not as a no. Nothing here is deducted for a feature the organizer simply did not mention.

Attendee Rating 4.0 / 5

  1. Six courts in one building, three games on Saturday

    Nigel Farrow-Whitcombe · Coach · Newcastle Hunters U14 · attended 2026

    4/5

    Everything under one roof at Olympic Park and a physio on site, which we used. Five games across two days means three on the Saturday and tired legs by the third. Flexible refund window was useful when we lost two players to a cricket carnival.
