As we embark on the remainder of the tournament season, please remember the following to help run a smoother tournament;

  • If you have congress entries (and even if you don't!) PLEASE bring a PRESIDING OFFICER!  It is a "spot" to State and therefore a legitimate event in itself; Students earn 6 pts a round.  ALSO you may have noticed some confusion among the kids and during the round because we did not have any for YFL #1.  We do have P.O Instruction sheets in the ballot bins if you would like a copy.
  • Please do not disclose scores to students prior to the awards ceremony.  We discontinued this practice many years ago.
  • PLEASE stay with your students until they have been picked up from or have left the tournament site!  Just because they "have a ride coming" does not release you from your legal responsibilities as a coach. 
  • REMEMBER our current schedule requires the END OF REGISTRATION AT 7:15 A.M., so please plan to be there by 7 a.m. to prevent further tournament delays.  If you are delayed by bus or weather, please call so we can adjust accordingly.
  • If you are STILL having problems with the tournament registration site, please contact someone to help you and don't forget your event cards! 

We're looking forward to seeing you all at the Creek next month!
