Tournament Information

Silver State Championships events are offered during both the Spring (April/May) and summer (June/July) seasons. They are three (3) game guarantee events, and are considered more “prestigious” than traditional weekend tournaments given special team awards and “bragging rights” that go along with State Championship events. Teams from all states are welcome!

Silver State Championships events allow for more parity than Open tournaments, and allow D2 and D3 level teams to have a greater opportunity to advance to bracket play and bring hardware back to their hometowns. Teams are responsible for self classification, and we rely upon and trust our Head Coaches and program directors to classify their teams properly.

Any questions about whether a team belongs in a Silver State Championships event can be directed to our office; we would be glad to provide an opinion based upon our 20+ years of experience. That said, Game Day USA leadership will NOT be responsible for vetting, researching or prequalifying teams. Again, the onus is 100% on the Head Coach and organization to classify a team appropriately.

Refund Policy
Once an entry fee is paid for an event, no cash, check or credit card refunds will be issued for any reason whatsoever, unless Game Day USA cancels the event in advance of the event weekend due to insufficient enrollment. If a team registers and subsequently is unable to participate, the following refund/credit policy applies:

For teams who took Event Insurance at the time of registration, Game Day USA will provide a full refund of the registration fee for any team withdrawing from an event up to 15 days prior to the scheduled start of the event.
For teams who do not opt for Event Insurance at the time of registration, Game Day USA will provide a 100% credit of the registration fee for any team withdrawing from an event up to 15 days prior to the scheduled start of the event.
Tournament withdrawals within 15 days prior to the start of the event will forfeit all tournament fees.

If an event is canceled at any time or shortened due to inclement weather or field conditions, Game Day USA will issue credits as follows:

0 Games: 100% credit toward a future Game Day USA event either later in 2026 or 2027.
1 game: 50% credit toward a future Game Day USA event either later in 2026 or 2027.
2nd Game Started: 25% credit towards a future Game Day USA event either later in 2026 or 2027.
2 or more games completed: No credits due.
