Note Sent To Coaches - 10/23/2020 11:30am

Coaches,

Going into the tournament, weather conditions for this weekend we knew were not optimal.  Today’s ½ inch of rain has made it even more of a challenge.

In order for fields to dry, there are three factors in play…heat, wind, sun.  We do have a little wind but need the heat and sun to assist in drying the fields.  With the rain we received this morning and lack of heat and sun, it could be several days, if not longer, before the fields are playable.

We have had a challenging 2020 for sure.  We want to do all we can to make sure there is a postseason tournament for the players/teams.  Although it is outside our projected tournament date, our last attempt will be to move this tournament to the next weekend 10/30-11/2.  We are hopeful the weather will be more in our favor.  At the moment, the forecast looks to be better next weekend. 

We are in a position that it will make it difficult to change time slots, swap games, etc.  There will be no available changes to the tournament schedule.  The schedule will be updated shortly.

With the tournament being FREE, we realize there may be some unable to make a game due to previously scheduled events, etc.  If that is the case, please let us know and we will move your opponent on to the next game in the tournament.
