SCHEDULE AND BRACKETS

YOU ALL ARE AWESOME!!!

Thank you all once again for your patience.  We really appreciate it.  

The brackets for all 7 divisions have been published at playisps.com/hispanicworlds under the SCHEDULE section.

Please keep in mind that due to the number of teams and the limited amount of time we will have to start on Friday night.  Due to this, the HR Derby on Friday night has been canceled.  We will try to reschedule it for some time during/after the tournament.

Also, due to the number of teams, the original divisions were slightly modified to make it as fair as possible with the number of teams in the classifications offered.  Below are the general rules for this event:
