In 2002, Hooters became the official sponsor for the men’s division. Champion teams from each division, from all over the country, who win qualifying events are flown to Oklahoma City, OK (all expenses paid) to play in the “best-of-the-best” tournament. This year, there have been a couple of changes for the women’s and men’s divisions. The women’s division now matches the format of the men’s division and the men’s “D” division is now split up into four territorial championships (north, south, east and west) instead of just the east and west territories it was in previous years.
