The final table will consist of the top 10 finishers, with a first-place cash prize of $2,000. The other nine finalists will receive cash payouts, plus Nike bags and accessories.

A special prize will be awarded to the person who eliminates Lady Griz coach Robin Selvig from the tournament.

Spectators will be eligible to win raffle items, and Lady Griz apparel will be available for sale.
