During the Jamboree, each team competed in three rounds of exhibition play followed by a 4-team single elimination tournament. The day concluded with the Hinsdale Falcons winning the tournament as they edged out the Lake Villa Timberwolves in the finals.

In addition to the competition, Bears alumni Jason McKie, Garrett Wolfe, Adrian Peterson, Alex Brown and Anthony Adams were available throughout the day to sign autographs for fans and offer advice to the youth football players and coaches.
