Bring Your Squad
We’re excited to bring the NJP Team Showdown with the Texas Ranchers — a one-day, high-energy, 4-player team competition built around rally scoring, squad chemistry, and big match moments.
This is your chance to build your own team and represent your training crew, academy, or home club while competing alongside the Texas Ranchers Juniors.
The entire event takes place in one action-packed day, with non-stop team battles from start to finish. Each division will feature five teams. The day begins with round robin play, where every team faces each of the other four teams in their division. That means every squad gets four full team matchups to battle for position and momentum. After round robin play, the top four teams in each division advance to division medal matches.
