Registration Terms
The prize purse for each division is sponsored and funded by Pickle Moneyball, the official sponsor of Moneyball at The Fort. The prize purse is not funded by entry fees. Entry fees are used solely for tournament participation and event operations. No portion of any entry fee is allocated to, contributes to, or determines the amount of the prize purse.
Every registered team is guaranteed a minimum of four (4) games. Teams that qualify will advance to the playoff round. Divisions are assembled from a varied pool of players to create competitive and balanced competition.
The Fort reserves the right to modify the prize purse, division format, or tournament structure only in the event of cancellation, insufficient registration, sponsor withdrawal, force majeure, or other circumstances beyond its reasonable control. Any such changes will be communicated before play begins, and registrants may either accept the revised terms or receive a full refund of their tournament entry fee. Participants who decline the revised terms will receive a refund and will not participate in the event.
Moneyball is a contest of skill. Winners are determined solely by athletic performance and tournament
