Tournament Fee
The tournament fee consists of a mandatory team fee for all teams, plus the tournament passes chosen by the team (either A or B Passes).
A Pass includes playing rights, classroom accommodation at a school, breakfast and evening snacks at the school, as well as lunch (Sat & Sun) and dinner (Sat).
B Pass includes playing rights only.
All players must have one of the two tournament passes.
All coaches, team leaders, or guardians staying overnight with the team must have a Coach/Guardian A Pass. Due to limited accommodation capacity, a maximum of 4 coaches and/or guardians per team can be accommodated.
If a coach is not staying overnight or dining, no tournament pass is required for them.
In the Unified category and in the U8 (2018-born) and U9 (2017-born) categories, no tournament passes are required – teams only pay the team fee. If these teams need accommodation, please contact us by email at helsinkibasketballfestival@hnmky.fi.
