Know Before You Pay

D · Weak on paper43/100

The published terms work against the team: dear per game, refunds that keep your money, a mandatory hotel block, or some combination. This is what the organizer states, not what teams reported.

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Some of the four terms facts are unpublished and score at the midpoint of their range.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.

Attendee Rating

Not yet rated

Nobody who attended has filed a moderated review yet, so there is nothing to report. This is a statement about our review coverage, not about the event — the GameVoyaGrade beside it is published either way.

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

Week-long tournament on the National Sports Center’s own complex in Blaine, drawing roughly 1,200 teams and 16,000 players. Every team is guaranteed four games and every team advances to a playoff round, which is unusual at this size. Withdrawal before 1 June yields a voucher rather than a refund and nothing at all after that date. Card payments carry a 3 per cent surcharge. The 8U to 10U Jamboree is priced separately at USD 300 per team plus 77 per player for seven-a-side; the weeklong team fee for 2027 had not been posted when this listing was compiled, so no fee is recorded.

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.

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.

This is the Attendee Rating — the half of a listing we cannot work out ourselves. It is filed by people who were at the event: coaches, managers, parents, players, officials and scouts. Organizers cannot file one, and the GameVoyaGrade never reads reviews at all.
