Costs
I can hear you think: ‘I gotta be a part of this’. For a reasonable price of just 40,-, you are assured of an amazing weekend! We provide:
- Entry to the (Beach) Tournament
- 3 meals on Saturday (breakfast, lunch and dinner)
- 2 meals on Sunday (breakfast and lunch)
- Pub Crawl on Saturday*
- Themed party on Friday
- Sleeping options on Friday and Saturday
- Note: We would like to ask for an extra small fee of € 2,- for sleeping in the sports hall. Sleeping on the campsite is included.
Entry to the Beach Handball Tournament is only € 25,-!
Note! If you decide to take part in both tournaments, you only have to pay for the main tournament. This means you can take part in the Beach tournament for ‘free’ if you enroll for the main tournament!
If you’re still not convinced by this amazing deal, we have one more ace up our sleeves. If you subscribe before 18-03-2023, you can take advantage of the early bird sale which provides a discount of € 7,- for the indoor tournament, and € 5,- for the beach tournament!
Say you don’t feel like spending any money at all. Even then we’ve got you covered! If you like to referee (at least 5) matches, you can take part in the tournament for free! This will be done by reimbursing you after the tournament. If you would like to make use of this option, please contact us well in advance of the tournament. (Oktopustoernooi@outlook.com)
Subscribing
If you can read this, the subscriptions have already opened. You can subscribe right here by clicking on the links below. Make sure to be on time, because we can only sell a fixed amount of tickets!
If you plan on joining the beach tournament with your indoor team, don’t subscribe twice. Only subscribe for your indoor tournament and select the beach option. The maximum amount of players per team is 14 and 10 for indoor and beach tournament respectfully. We ask you to take these limits into account and respect them.
The early bird discount ends on March 18th.
The subscriptions end on April 28th at the latest.**
Theme
Release yer inner Kraken!
Blimey! The Pirates of the Dommel have hidden a great treasure! Make sure to bring an eye patch and a hook, grow your beard (if you can of course) and hunt the treasure!
PS: We do not advise wearing two eye patches at the same time. Playing handball with a hook also brings its challenges.
We hope to see you on May 12th. We are very much looking forward to the tournament. Brought to you by the Tournament Committee,
Lars, Mihai, Jochem, Laura, Maaike, Sanne, Pepijn & Chiel.
