This year, the traditional Big B Tournament will be joined by the Big Open Tournament, giving teams two different competitive divisions to choose from.
Both tournaments will take place on the same day and will have separate pool play, elimination brackets, and champions.
Important: Players may participate in only one team and one tournament for the entire event.
The Big Open Tournament provides a separate tournament for teams of any competitive level. There are no A, B+, B, or C-level restrictions for entry.
Team Eligibility
The Big Open Tournament is open to any team that has participated in KLOHR or another organized adult kickball league at any point during the current calendar year.
Teams must register using the identity of an actual league team from that calendar year. The team’s league roster will serve as the foundation of its tournament roster. Guest teams from outside KLOHR must provide a valid league roster when requested.
Big Open Roster Rules
Each team may add up to three additional players who were not on that team’s original league roster.
These three additional players may be any players. They:
- Do not need to have previously played for that team.
- Do not need to have previously played in KLOHR.
- May come from another team, league, or competitive level.
The three-player limit applies to players being added outside of the team’s original league roster.
All tournament rosters must be submitted by the announced roster deadline.
One Player, One Team, One Tournament
Each player may participate on one team only for the entire event. Players may not:
- Appear on multiple Big Open rosters.
- Play for both a Big Open team and a Big B team.
- Switch to another team after their original team has been eliminated.
Once a player is registered to a team for either tournament, that is their team for the entire day.
There are no pool-play exceptions to this rule.
Player Eligibility
- All players must appear on the team’s approved tournament roster before participating.
- Teams may not add players during the tournament because of injuries, absences, scheduling conflicts, or another team’s elimination without approval from KLOHR.
- Roster checks may be conducted before or during the tournament.
- Use of an ineligible player may result in forfeiture of games or removal from the tournament.
Rules of Play
All Big Open Tournament games will be played under the designated KLOHR Open/A-level rules for the event, unless otherwise announced before the tournament.
Tournament Format
Teams will begin with pool play and will be guaranteed a minimum of three pool-play games.
Pool-play results will determine seeding for the Big Open elimination bracket. The elimination bracket will continue until one team is crowned the Big Open Champion.
Exact pool sizes, bracket structure, advancement procedures, and tiebreakers may be adjusted based on the final number of registered teams.
The most important roster rule for the entire event is simple:
ONE PLAYER. ONE TEAM. ONE TOURNAMENT.
- A player who is rostered for the Big B Tournament cannot participate in the Big Open Tournament.
- A player who is rostered for the Big Open Tournament cannot participate in the Big B Tournament.
- Players also cannot participate for multiple teams within the same tournament.
- Elimination does not release a player to join another team later in the day.
