Register your teamChampions Division + Open Provincial Division
You’re in, no matter how your season finishes. Once league play wraps, every team is placed into the right division for the best possible tournament weekend.
Champions Division
League champions compete against other league winners for the Provincial Championship.
Open Provincial Division
Every other team is invited into a full tournament division against teams from other cities. No championship required. Champion or not, your team gets one more weekend to compete, represent your city, and finish the season together.
Champion or not, your team can still play.
For many teams, the best memories happen after the regular season ends. Provincials Weekend is about, new competition, team bonding, and finishing the season together on a bigger stage. Whether you're chasing a championship or just one more weekend with your team, every team has a place to compete, connect, and celebrate the game.
Two ways to compete
League champions battle in the Champions bracket; everyone else plays a full, competitive Open tournament.
Every team is invited
Provincials is open to all UA Flag teams, regardless of where you finished.
A real stage
Community. Certified officials. Media coverage. Team awards. A weekend your players will remember.
More than games
Team tents. Music. Photos. Food. Awards. New opponents. A full festival weekend for athletes and families.
