Ask about company matching

Ask your employer whether donations qualify for its matching gift program. Let us know at event sign-in if a company match is pending so we can recognize your team’s fundraising level.

  2. If both teams choose to use an advantage in the same game, both advantages become void.
  3. Advantages cannot be refused by the opposing team.
  4. Each advantage is valid for one round-robin game only.
  5. Advantages cannot be used in the playoffs.
  6. Advantages cannot be transferred to another event date.
