About the Cancun Challenge

• In its 13th year, the Cancun Challenge will be played at the all-inclusive Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya, which sits along the Caribbean coastline on the eastern portion of the Yucatan Peninsula.
• The tournament features four teams from the Mayan Division (Arizona State, Columbia, Green Bay, Mississippi State) and six teams from the Riviera Division (Indiana State, Marquette, Montana, Oklahoma State, South Dakota and Tennessee). The four teams in the Mayan Division will compete in a three-game round robin while the six teams in the Riviera Division will play two or three games apiece during the event.
