The only tournament fee covered by your registration paid to HEAT is the State Tournament. All other tournament fees will be collected before the event. Most of the tournaments are $7-$8.

We are hoping having these planned this far out and only expecting a commitment for one out of the three BOK tournaments will help with this season. HEAT Fire and Ice Tournament 710 E.
