Schedule

​

1. Approximately 1 month before the tournament (this is a minimum), the host school should check the directory and contact all of the schools that have registered for the specified tournament. The host school needs to finalize who will be attending the tournament.

 

2. A draft draw needs to be set up. For seeding, refer to the previous years results of the different levels. (ex. if you are doing a Sr. tournament, look at the previous years Sr. and Jr. results) THE PREVIOUS YEARS RESULTS CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE UNDER HISTORY.

 

3. Tournament information needs to be written out. Tournament information should include:

• info about uniforms, info about accommodations for travelling teams, info about awards, info about any game modifications due to time or facilities and a request for a copy of their BCSS eligibility form.

4. The draft draw and tournament information should be faxed to all participating teams at least TWO WEEKS before the tournament.
