Good Morning

Just a reminders....
Please remember that this is a kid’s game. We want everyone to have fun and enjoy the games. Good sportsmanship, while competing hard is what every competitor should strive for. If we have poor sportsmanship from players or coaches, poor behavior from spectators, we will remove them from the game and or gym. Taunting will receive a technical foul from officials as well as foul language from players and coaches. We hope we don't have any of these issues today, but if we do, know that our police officers won't hesitate to solve them.
We have a zero tolerance policy for poor behaivior or misconduct!

Have a blessed day and good luck to everyone!

Good Morning

It is memorial day weekend. Give yourself a lot of extra time to travel, to and from facilities. We have a very tight schedule and if you are late, there is a high probability we will have to forfeit your game, please allow for extra time.
If you have to travel through the tunnel on I-10, I would make sure you have a 2 hr window for arrival. There are always slowdowns in that tunnel.

For those of you who travel from gym to gym with a hour in between. You should have plenty of time to travel from your 1st game to 2nd game. Please make sure you leave the gym right after your 1st game to give yourself enough time to travel to your second gym.

Thank you

Good Evening

We are about to release the schedule. Before we do.......

1. The schedule may not be perfect for YOU. However, there are 213 other teams in the event. We are not here to make everyone's schedule perfect for them. It it is not possible. Do not call me, do not message me, do not email me about not having a schedule to fit around your weekend plans. Your weekend plans fit round the tournament.
2. We tried our best to get everyone at least one game at the sports plex. Most of the teams we were able to do that, but there were a few teams we could not make that happen for. There are only 78 slots available at the sports plex, and 112 outside the sports plex. We understand that everyone wants to play every game there, but that's not possible.
3. Brackets will be released tomorrow. Platinum and Gold and possibly some silver championships will be played at the sports plex on Sunday. All other brackets will be played outside the sports plex on Sunday.

There will be more info to come.

Thank you
