C · Mixed on paper46/100

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

Partly published2 of 4

Some of the four terms facts are unpublished and score at the midpoint of their range. The grade is real but it is partly a statement about what has not been said.

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.

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

Listed on an open hockey tournament directory where organizers post their own events. The event is run by NGHL Hockey; the text below is the organizer’s own listing copy. The source directory prints the day and month but not the year, so the year here is the next occurrence of those dates and is not quoted from the listing. NGHL Fall Classic, Futures East – October 16–18, 2026 Presented by the National Girls Hockey League (NGHL) The NGHL Fall Classic, Futures East is thrilled to return to the Utica University Nexus Center. This exciting event welcomes 10U and 12U teams for a weekend of fun, competitive hockey focused on development and growing the game.

What a player gets seen doing

  • Advances to a championship
  • Games streamed
  • Game video for teams
  • Live stats and standings
  • Professional photography

The GameVoyaGrade above is published from this event’s own cost, terms and exposure, so it stands without reviews. The Attendee Rating does not: if you were there, yours would be the first and it would carry real weight.
