Awards Ceremony
Following state and local health guidance to keep award ceremonies as brief as possible and to limit gatherings of larger sizes, the post championship game ceremony and awards will only be for bracket champions this year, and not finalists. This includes Super Group, Gold Group and Silver Group winners.
At the conclusion of each championship game, the winners should immediately make their way over to the awards stage inside the tournament village.
