FAQs
Q: When does registration open and close?
A:
Registration opens June 1st.
It will remain open until August 20th UNLESS we reach the maximum number of team registrations--178--by an earlier date.
Please do not wait to register
!
Q: How much does it cost to participate?
A:
The fee is $350 per team.
NOTE: There will be no refunds:
-- if your team cancels after registration closes.
-- for bad weather. (Every effort will be made to re-schedule games during
Festival weekend only.)
-- opponent no-shows.
A partial refund will be made if we must schedule you for fewer than 3 games.
Q: Is there a limit on the number of participating teams?
A:
Yes. We are capping the number at 178, because that number will enable each team to play 3 games.
Q: How many games will each team play?
A:
All teams will play 3 games on two successive days. That means on Saturday or on Sunday you will have a double-header.
Q: Will there be trophies or other awards?
A:
No. This is a festival, not a tournament. Specifically, it is a charity fundraiser for the Jeremy Patrick Falkner Scholarship Program, which was established in memory of the sportsmanship exhibited by Jeremy Falkner, who was killed in an auto accident in 2001 at the age of 19. The Falkner Festival is a celebration of the virtues we endeavor to instill in young people when they play youth football. It provides teams with an opportunity to compete in game-like situations in order to prepare for their upcoming regular seasons.
Q: What will the age-group designations be?
A:
There will be age-groups for 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13/14-year olds. Teams should register for the age-group they will play in during their upcoming fall season.
Q: Will there be different levels for size, experience, skill, etc.?
A:
Yes. There will be "Gold" and Silver" divisions. The Gold Division is for players who on the whole are more skilled, bigger, and/or more experienced.
(AYL Teams: The Gold Division corresponds to the NFC/"Upper" AFC level. The Silver Division corresponds to the "Lower" AFC/CFC level.)
NOTE: Patches designating players whose weight dictates what positions they may play are not required but are
strongly
recommended.
NOTE:
All teams are on the "honor system" to
participate at the level that is genuinely most appropriate for them
. Coaches: Please do
not
register for the Silver Division if your team is good enough to compete reasonably well against the best teams in your age group. Register as a Gold Division team instead.
Teams that violate the spirit of this unofficial rule may have their games terminated or cancelled.
Remember: The overriding value the Festival promotes is good sportsmanship.
