The bidding process to determine a host for the 2020 MLQ Championship began in September 2019; after much deliberation, we are excited to announce that we have selected four finalist destinations.
The 2020 MLQ regular season is schedule to extend from June 1 to Aug. 2, with each of our teams competing within one of three divisions: North, South or East. The top teams from each division will converge upon a single destination with one sole purpose: to determine the best team in the league and award the Benepe Cup to the new MLQ champion.
In 2019, the MLQ Championship made its Richmond debut, and the Boston Night Riders reclaimed the coveted title for the third year. We cannot wait to see what the 2020 season has in store for us at one of the four finalist locations!
Madison, Wis. – Irwin A. & Robert D. Goodman Sports Complex
