THE GAUNTLET SERIES — HOW TO ADVANCE
This isn’t just another tournament. Your finish determines your path to the March Qualifiers.
🥇 1st & 2nd Place: Paid entry into a March Gauntlet Qualifier
🥉 3rd & 4th Place: Half-price entry into a March Gauntlet Qualifier
🏆 Top 8: Earn placement/eligibility for the March Qualifiers
IMPORTANT: Teams must participate in at least ONE of the three opening Gauntlet Series events to be eligible to compete in the March Qualifiers.
The road continues from the Qualifiers toward Unleashed Nationals and ultimately Unleashed Worlds.
HALLOWEEN AT THE GAUNTLET
We’re competing hard, but we’re making this one for the kids too!
We ask each team/coaching staff to bring two bags of candy. Throughout the event, our young athletes will have an opportunity to trick-or-treat among the participating teams.
Costumes, candy, competition and championship football — we’re turning Halloween weekend into an experience the kids remember long after the final whistle.
