This will be a SHOWCASE FORMAT with no awards or champions crowned.
All CO Showcase play will be concentrated on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but some games could be played on Monday, ending by 3:00, as necessary. Weather delay during the weekend could cause more games to roll over to Monday, which would delay regularly scheduled Monday games.

We are excited to welcome back our Division 1 college coaches who were unable to participate in 2021. We are expecting more college coaches than ever.
