The first weekend will have boys and girls teams from Haverhill, Lyndon, Rivendell Academy and St Johnsbury. January 24 & 25 will feature boys and girls teams from Barnet, BMU, Monroe and Waterford. Each Saturday both boys and girls teams from each school will play in the first round, and compete again on Sunday for the consolation prize and the championship.
