We've put together a list of frequently asked questions to make things easier for you. Feel free to take a look and see if it answers any of your questions!

DYSports tournaments are designed for developing youth teams. We consider "developing" to be above the Recreational Level and below the high level/select elite. If your team is interested in our events but does not fall within this talent range for DYSports events, please reach out, and we can see if there are opportunities for playing up or down a grade.

DYSports tournaments typically start as early as 8 am, and the last games on Saturday typically do not start later than 8 pm. Sunday’s last game will typically start no later than 6 pm. Games are typically less than 60 minutes.

We screen each new team asking them to fill out a survey so we can gauge their level of play. After every DYSports tournament, DYSports pulls all scores from the event and examines individual team performance. If we believe a team is ready for the next level, they will be notified. Also, if a team is struggling, we will reach out with the opportunity to place them in a more suitable division.

DYSports does not offer refunds for team cancellations after registration closes or for game cancellations due to weather, COVID-19, or opponent issues; transaction fees may be deducted for cancellations made before the tournament registration deadline. Our policies are designed to ensure fairness and efficient management of our events, encouraging teams to commit thoughtfully to their participation.
