To support Julia's efforts that she began prior to her passing, new stuffed animals are collected for donation to police departments to give to children to hold for comfort in times of crisis.

​Three games are guaranteed with addition games possible in the playoffs. 

Championship Division: Higher caliber teams that will play for a tournament championship.  Each team in this division will play in at least 3 pool play games. Winners of pool play will advance to a championship bracket.

Stuffed Animal Collection

As in previous years, we will be collecting stuffed animals in memory of The Burning Flower, Julia Briggs (13-year old Iron Maiden player that passed away in 2009 - See Julia's Quest), to be donated to the Houston Police Department, Child Advocates, and other are law enforcement agencies to benefit children impacted by crime.

We ask all that are able and willing, to donate to this worthy cause. The Burning Flower Foundation which was created by Julia's parents in her memory, will be collecting the stuffed animals throughout the tournament and will have an award for the team (non Cy-Fair) that donates the largest number. If you are unable to attend the tournament but would still like to donate stuffed animals, please contact us for instructions.
