2 Helmet Stickers: Each player will receive a helmet sticker for tournament participation. These will be provided at registration with your score cards. In addition, each team will give out one MVP button per game to the other team during Pool Play games. Rain Policy: In the event of rain, a rain policy will be distributed to the team Managers. Picnic Area: The Opachinski Complex offers plenty of space for teams and families to set up tents/picnic areas for their teams. Please review the facility rules below. Concession: The Opachinski Complex has a concession stand which offers a variety of food and snacks: Breakfast items Hamburgers, cheeseburgers and hot dogs Hot pretzels, popcorn and chips, fruit cups Ice coffee, lemonade, water, soda and Gatorade Ice cream, slushies etc. Restrooms: Located at the concession stand. Reporting Scores: You will receive scorecards at team check in. Each team must complete a scorecard after each game. The scorecard then needs to be turned into the Concession Stand in the box marked Scores. Pool Play results will then be updated accordingly. If there is a delay in receiving scores, there will be a delay in determining the seeding for Sunday. Due to the odd number of teams for 12U and 14U, one team in each age group was chosen at random to play an extra game to allow for all teams to play 3 games for pool play. 1 of the 4 games played will be dropped based on coin flip after all games have been played. We realize teams and parents want to know as soon as possible about Sunday games times so this will be done as soon as possible following the Pool Play games. At the conclusion of Saturday s games, the brackets will be determined for Sunday and all Managers will be notified via . Tournament Director Missy Moquin (for all questions) If Missy is unavailable, there will be a designated on-site tournament director. For questions/concerns, please ask for Mike LaNatra at the concession stand and he will contact the on-site Tournament Director. 1.
