Fann Cup 2012 Game Schedule

We have figured out the game schedule for this year.  Since we have 7 teams, we are going to do a true round-robin.  Every team will play every other team, so you're guaranteed 6 games (15-min halves).  The top two teams (by record) will play in the Championship Game.

Registration is Now Open!!

Registration and Payment this year is online.

Start here: 

http://www.fanncupregistration.com/

Once you fill out the information and confirm your email address, your team captain will be able to approve your registration.  After your captain submits his/her approval, you will be sent an email with the link to the payment site where you can pay with a credit card or your paypal account.  (At that time, you can add banquet-only tickets as needed.)

When payment is received, you will get another email with a confirmation from the Fann Cup 2012 committee.

If you must pay by check, contact Heather McLaughlin at MNStingers@hotmail.com to arrange payment.

Please also contact Heather if you have any questions.

Player Fees & Registration

Player fees for 2012 will be $75 per person.  There is no team minimum this year because we realize that some teams may be coming short-handed because of the distance.

The due date will be May 15.

Late registration fee is $90, with a hard cut-off date of July 15.

Banquet-only tickets are $25 per person (no special "kids" price, sorry).

More details (like how/who to pay) and registration forms to come later.

There are two hotels for Fann Cup 2012. The Hampton Inn and the Hilton Garden Inn. The hotels are located next to each other and share a common parking lot. The Hilton is a little cheaper but the Hampton offers a free breakfast buffet and is also where the banquet will be held after the tournament. Right now the rooms are listed as smoking and non-smoking. I was told that the hotels may be completely non-smoking by Fann Cup.

The Fann Cup rates are only good between Thursday 26th through Monday 30th. If you wish to stay outside of those dates the rates will be $129.00 at the Hampton and $154.00 at the Hilton.

If you are staying between the 27th and the 29th you can use the website to register. If you are staying earlier or later than those dates you will have to call the hotel to make your reservation.

Hampton Inn: 1-877-233-3194
Hilton Garden Inn: 1-877-746-7384

Give them the code: Fann Cup 2012

If there are any questions or concerns or if you are given a different rate than what I have posted please let me know.
