19th Annual OK Classic

REGISTRATION DETAILS

Team registration will open at TBD. Registration is limited and based on a first-come, first served format. Teams that raise $5,000 or more from last year’s event guarantee a team reservation. Sponsors that commit at +$5K are also reserved a team slot, as well as the tournament game-play champion.

Be sure to act fast as we had three teams who qualified for an automatic reservation leaving only 12 team slots left for general registration!

The team fee is $1500. Teams are NOT required to satisfy the fee at time of registration. Teams are afforded the option of raising funds via the peer-to-peer fundraising platform hosted on this site to meet the fee.

Traditionally, teams and players work together to reach out to friends and family to raise funds toward the overall team goal and the greater organizational goal of $85,000 for the event. Recently, we have seen teams exercise their creativity by reaching out to sponsors to help support team fundraising, host events and do all other sorts of things to reach the team fee. Got a new idea!? Run it by us and we’ll do what we can to support your efforts or collaborate.
