WHAT IS THE CIRCUIT?

The Circuit is a series of open tournament events supported by Kickball365 to bring together the ultimate

WHAT IS THE CIRCUIT CUP CHAMPIONSHIP?

At the end of the National Tour the top 64 qualifiers, based on the Circuit Scoring System, will be awarded
spots at the Kickball365 Circuit Cup Championship, to be held in Las Vegas in the fall of 2011. The
qualify-only 64-team Circuit Cup Championship field will compete for an estimated prize pool valued at
$20,000 cash, which includes the final four (4) teams receiving prize money and the top (3) teams in the
final CSS Standings also receiving prize money.

All Circuit Events will utilize the Circuit Rule Book during qualifying events and the Circuit Cup
Championship.
