Signing Up for a Tournament
Fill out a form for each tournament you want to register for below. A coach or an officer will then register you on the appropriate tournament website. You can also find these links on the team calendar.
You must register for a local tournament by 11:59pm on the Sunday before UNLESS announced by a coach. Therefore, you are encouraged to look over the calendar at the start of the season, think about your goals and other commitments, and plan which tournaments you wish to attend far in advance. We particularly encourage members to attend our Ivy League national tournaments (Yale, Princeton, and Harvard), as well as the larger local tournaments (Summit, Ridge, and Montville).
If you accidentally sign up for a local tournament, or sign up for one but now cannot attend, you must contact a coach to remove your name from the registration no later than the Tuesday before the tournament. If you are unsure whether you signed up or not, click the link below to see the spreadsheet (not editable).
Here is the COMPLETE calendar for all tournaments throughout the 2026-2027 season.

All tournaments, unless announced otherwise, are SELF DRIVE. This means that students are responsible for their own transportation to and from the tournament. Students MUST check the “report time” on Teams and arrive by that time, or run the risk of being dropped from the tournament and incurring fees/fines. Students that are not picked up promptly will not be allowed to participate in future tournaments. If students are not picked up, coaches reserve the right to call local authorities (including the police) to stay with the student if a parent/guardian is not available. Coaches will not wait an extreme amount of time with students.

Tournament Signup Guidelines
Most tournaments are local, meaning they are held at New Jersey high schools in a one-day format. The school district generously provides all funds for registration as well as bus transportation for all these tournaments. All team members are always welcome to register for local tournaments without cost.
National multi-day tournaments have special rules. Signing up for one does not guarantee that you will attend the trip – some have requirements, others will have waitlists, and all will involve individual payments and paperwork. Some require that you arrange your own transportation, while for others it is included in the cost. If you have questions about a specific national tournament, ask a coach or an officer. These tournaments are marked with an asterisk (*).
Some tournaments are individually sponsored, meaning they are dependent on student and parent interest. While the team will register interested students, Randolph coaches will not attend these tournaments. As such, they will require funding, transportation, and chaperone arrangements to be made privately or with Boosters coordination. These tournaments are marked with a pound sign (#).
NJSDL States, ToCs, NCFL Grand Nationals, and NSDA Nationals are by qualification only. NJ District Qualifying Tournament is by coach selection only. If you qualify or are selected for one of these tournaments, it is an immense honor, and one that you must commit to take seriously.
