Schedule Blocks

Our block schedule graphic will show which age groups will and will not overlap. If you register 2 teams in the same time block, we strongly suggesting having a coach for each team.

Division Caps

Each division does have a maximum amount of teams that can be accepted and divisions do fill up quickly! We expect each one to sell out. So it is important that you register your team early to guarantee your place in the World Championships! 

If you earned a full or a 1/2 paid bid through winning any of the FFWCT events or sanctioned events this year that you’ll be redeeming for Worlds, you’ll want to register your team in the “My Team Has a Paid Bid” division. This will allow you to pay the $50 deposit that is required no matter what so we know the team is coming, and will ask you for your division in which we will then move you to that division in short order and will lock you into your registration date for points. If you had a 1/2 bid, we will apply your credit and you will still have a small outstanding balance that will need to be paid by May 7. For teams with a full bid, this is all you’ll have to do.

Flights

AIRPORT: The closest and largest airport we recommend booking through is Tampa International Airport (TPA), which is about 30 minutes from the facility.

Refund Policy

All payments are final as of December 19, 2021 and no refunds will be allocated for teams not attending of their own accord but may request a credit towards any FFWCT operated tournament within a calendar year. If a division is cancelled, a full refund will be given regardless. Click here to read though our full terms and conditions.
