Tournament weekends drive the highest concentration of spikeball roundnet apparel demand on the calendar. Players want a tournament-specific tee as memorabilia from the bracket they played. Teams want matching jerseys for the day. Tournament directors want event merch they can sell to attendees. Bear Grips Pro Shops handles all three: per-team jerseys at no MOQ, bracket tees with the event name on the back, and tournament organizer merch sold to the attending teams.

How tournament shops scale per event

The tournament shop launches 4 weeks before the event. Players pre-order through the link in the event registration. Pre-orders ship before the event. Walk-up sales at the venue ship after the event ends. The director never holds inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell tournament merch through Bear Grips Pro Shops?

Yes. The tournament director sets up a shop, designs the bracket tee, sets the retail price, and shares the link. Players order direct.

Do I need to pre-order or can players order day-of?

Both. Pre-orders ship before the event. Day-of orders ship after the event. The director never holds inventory.

Can sponsor logos be added to the tournament tee?

Yes. Sponsor logos placed on the back lower, sleeve, or front lower position. Multiple sponsors fit cleanly with proper layout.

How fast does the tournament tee design need to be finalized?

About a week before the event for pre-order fulfillment. Two weeks is safer for guaranteed pre-event delivery.
