TOURNAMENT FORMAT:

COACHES: 

You MUST have your credentials visable upon check in.  Temporary badges will be available for our out of region teams.  There will NOT be a Coaches meeting prior to the first whistle to start pool play.  If playing first, please have your teams courtside by 7:40 to begin warm up and call for captains by 8:50.  Each match following the first round of pool play, the warm up timer for the 2 minutes shared warmup must begin immediately following the conclusion of the previoous match. Per HOA guidelines! Do NOT start the shared 2 minutes AFTER the coin toss ~ Your shared warmup will then become 5-7 minutes and those minutes ADD UP and make for a longer day.  If the team playing next is not courtside the timer MUST still be started and they will forfeit their shared warm up.  

*** You may reduce your warm up to 1-3-3 after everyone has had the chance to have a full 2-4-4 warm up for their first matches.  All coaches please discuss and agree to the change to 1-3-3 if you choose.  

If you have any questions or need anything prior to this weekend please do not hesitate to reach out to me, text messaging gets a quicker response.   We look foreward to hosting your teams and families.  Please look back late Friday to confirm no changes have been made between Monday and Sunday.
