A typical event timeline:
Friday: afternoon arrival & setup of the tournament office in a multi purpose room. We typically have everything setup by 6pm. There is no major setup or heavy lifting & we do not use the courts. 
Saturday: doors open to guests at 7am with gameplay beginning at 8am. Gameplay then runs all day, typically completed by 10pm.
Sunday: same start time as Saturday, with game play finishing by 5pm (on average - varies based on number of teams). Tournament directors have everything packed & out of the venue by 8pm. 

With our season starting in January, venues need to be booked by the previous May. For example, we are not considering any new dates for 2025, and 2027 events need to be booked by May 2026.
