Welcome to Turf a Mania

Hosted by The Tournament Team! 

NO SUNFLOWER SEEDS AT ANY TURF LOCATION SUCH AS PEARL, RIDGELAND, OR THE QUARRY

THIS INCLUDES SPECTATORS! IF YOU ARE CAUGHT WITH SEEDS YOU COULD BE REMOVED FROM THE PARK. IF YOUR TEAM IS CAUGHT WITH SEEDS, YOU COULD FACE A FORFEIT! WHY? BECAUSE THESES CITIES HAVE  BEAUTIFUL TURF FIELDS & WILL NOT LET ANYONE CONTINUE TO HOST EVENTS AT THEIR FACILITY IF THE SEED POLICY IS NOT FOLLOWED. PLEASE DO YOUR PART TO HELP WITH THIS. 

NO STEEL SPIKES AT AT ANY LOCATION
