Why Father’s Day Weekend?

There has been some feedback over the past few years asking that we move the tournament away from Father’s Day Weekend.  While in a perfect world, it would be an obvious goal to move the tournament away from Father’s Day/Sound of Music Festival – the fact is that the City’s policy on booking parks is a simple one.  The incumbent has first right of refusal every year. 

This is good in that we can never lose our weekend slot to someone else, however bad in the sense that the weekends around us have had the same users for years and unless one of them decides to not utilize their weekend or switches with us down the road (they have said no every year), we are stuck where we are.  Every 4th or 5th Father’s Day falls on the weekend before our tournament – so hopefully soon we’ll have a Father’s Day Free Tournament again like we had a few years back. 

Look at the bright side, it would be much, much worse having our tournament on Mother’s Day!  -  Mike Porkolab
