Who Is This Tournament For?

The Southwest Scramble is a Southwest regional event open and exclusive to all underwater hockey players in the Southwest region. Clubs commonly represented include: Dallas, Denver, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Orange County, Phoenix, San Diego, and Tahoe. This tournament is designed to be engaging for players across the full range of experience — from first-time tournament participants to seasoned competitors. If registration numbers allow, we plan to offer two grades (A and B divisions) to support balanced and competitive match-ups. Our goal is to provide a fun and challenging tournament environment for everyone.

What is the format?

For this potluck-style tournament, each registered player will be assigned to a pod of approximately four players. For each game, two pods will join up to face off against another pair of pods (2 pods vs. 2 pods). Over the course of the day, you’ll partner with a variety of other pods for each game so that you play with every other pod at least once—creating a fun, social, and dynamic tournament format that emphasizes collaboration and adaptability.

Games will be scheduled with generous 7–8 minute breaks between matches, giving players time to regroup, coordinate positions, and meet their new teammates before the next round. Tournament play is expected to start no earlier than 8AM Saturday and end no later than 1PM Sunday and may vary depending on the number of participants. Please indicate any scheduling difficulties on the registration form or contact us directly.

Following Saturday’s play, participants are invited to a catered taco dinner, providing a relaxed opportunity to unwind and socialize after a full day in the pool.
