The kickoff event for the Next Gen series season takes place in Nashville, Tennessee. Games start on Thursday morning and finish on Sunday afternoon. Nashville may very well be the best city in America. It has it all; world-famous BBQ (we suggest Martin’s and the Peg Leg Porker) and restaurant scene, live music, team outings at Top Golf, and the southern hospitality that the city offers visitors.
Like the 2024 event, an Elite and AAA Division will be offered.
Non-Cwench Next Gen Series members registering for Elite divisions require tournament approval. If not approved, the registration deposit will be refunded. AAA division registration is unrestricted and requires no pre-approval.

Hotel Information
The Music City Invitational has partnered with Team Travel Source to provide attendees/groups with the best available hotel rates and a smooth booking experience.
Our event is a “Stay to Play” event: A good working relationship with hotels is critical for the long-term success of our event. For this reason, teams or attendees traveling from out of town must book their rooms through our Official Travel Partner, Team Travel Source, to ensure that our room blocks are utilized. In short, since the hotels hold rooms for our event, we must use these rooms.
FYI-Brentwood, TN is halfway between each tournament’s rinks and just 10 miles from downtown Nashville. There is a multitude of hotel options in the Brentwood area.
