SPECTATOR CONDUCT

WE NEED OFFICIALS MORE THAN WE NEED TEAMS: Yes, we do drop teams from tournaments and ban then from future events with no refund for parent conduct. Parents and coaches are not to confront an official for any reason after the game. Doing so could be a barrier to your programs participation in future events or even completing this event. Refunds will not be given in these instances. If you have issues with referees, read below. Make sure your parents have this information! You are responsible for the conduct of your players and spectators! Referees are instructed to issue technical fouls for spectator behavior!

PARENTS - If you have an issue with a referee, you must direct it through your coach. Parents or coaches who confront an official after the game or verbally abuse an official during the game will be banned from future games/events. In some instances we will drop teams from the event with no refund for that event or any future events due to parent conduct. This is not negotiable. You are responsible for the conduct of your spectators. If anyone from your team verbally harass our officials, you run the risk of getting ejected from the gym. I will not entertain conversations of "they need to have thicker skin" or "what I said wasn't that bad....". You open your mouth, you take on the risk associated with it.

We look forward to hosting you this weekend,

Coaches & Families,

IT'S TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your Boys have a had a great season and it's time to cap it off with the State Tournament.

Here is a rundown on what to expect this week.

SEEDING - This will be published tomorrow. Generally we followed the seeding on OMSAA, with a couple of modifications for teams that didn't have a minimum of 8 games, to avoid teams traveling for regional match-ups in the opening round or to get teams from the same program on opposite sides of the bracket. Games played over President's Day weekend will not be included in seeding due to the time constrants with getting every game entered and calculated.

BRACKET REVEAL - Brackets will be revealed throughout the day Tuesday. This will all be done on the State Tourney Instagram Page.

SCHEDULE - Schedule will be posted late Tuesday evening.

FRIDAY GAME TIMES - Games will start as early as 12 pm on Friday. I know that's early and may involve some missed class time. We are going to try to limit this as much as possible based on geography and how seeds come out. In order to run a true bracketed event, it does require more games to be played and for that to happen we need to start games a little earlier than some may have hoped.

FRIDAY-SUNDAY - Best weekend of the year!

MONDAY (or soon thereafter) - All Tournament nominations will be sent to coaches. They must be returned by the end of the week.

FOLLOWING WEEK (or soon there after) - All State ballots will be sent to coaches with the nominations from the tournaments. Coaches will vote on 1st, 2nd & 3rd teams (depending on nominations).

MID-TO-LATE MARCH - All-State teams revealed.

We're looking forward to hosting everyone in Salem this weekend!
