Tickets — $3 per adult and $1 per child per day — will be sold at each gym and are good for all games at all gyms on that day, said Dan Estes, city sports and events coordinator.

The schedules of the games will be posted at each gym, he said.

At least one local team will play in each division, Estes said.

“We have four teams from Mount Baker — that’s the farthest away,” Estes said.

The final games will be played at 2:15 p.m. Sunday.

Each game will take about an hour. Winners will be declared in each division.
