Get ready for the December to Remember “Protect-the-Pin” Tournament Competition! Here’s how to play:

1.     Pick up a tournament application from the HS Library or East Gym.

3.    Turn in your completed application to the HS Library by Tuesday, December 4. All proceeds collected will be donated to a charity that the winning team selects.

4.     8 teams per grade will be accepted to play in the brackets, on a first come-first serve basis.  All players on your team must be cleared from the nurse and AP offices to play.

5.     Show up to your grade’s bracket competition and play in our single-elimination games. The winning team from each grade’s bracket will then compete tournament style against each other to determine the one team who rules them all.
