Basketball Update

Parents and coaches,
We have a busy basketball game schedule this Friday and Saturday. Since we do not have access to the gyms at Lipscomb and Edmondson next Saturday (02/03), some teams have their last regular season game this weekend.

The last day of practices is 02/01.

The next weekend, while we finish up our remaining regular season games, our in-house tournament will start.

Some timing details to be aware of are as follows:
1. Our Pre-K/Kindergarten and 5/6YO Girl teams have their final game on 02/03. Each player in those divisions will receive a participation trophy, which will have their name on the trophy. These divisions do not have a tournament.
2. Our lone 11/12YO Girls team, our two 15/16YO Boys teams and our lone 17/18YO Boys team will play in the county tournament.
3. Our remaining divisions, excluded above, will play in our in-house tournament.
4. The 13/14YO Boys and 5th Grade Boys North divisions will start their in-house tournament on 02/03.
5. The remaining divisions, which represent ~100 teams, will start their in-house tournament on 02/04.
6. The in-house tournament will be completed on 02/10.

Regarding how the tournament works, some items to be aware of are:
1. Teams are seeded based on games completed as of 01/27. Better seed is the home team throughout the tournament.
2. Our in-house brackets can be found by clicking here. While a few seeds are already known, we will have the remaining added this Sunday (evening).
3. Our in-house team standings can be found by clicking here. If you want to see a summarized view for which divisions play when for the tournament, click here and scroll down to the tournament section.
4. For our in-house tournament, individual trophies will be awarded to the champion and runner-up in each division.
5. This is a single-elimination tournament. Overtime rules will apply if any games in regulation end in a tie.
6. The home team will continue to keep the scorebook for the in-house tournaments.
7. The system will not send game reminders out so each parent will need to follow their bracket.

Let us know any questions. We will have another email update out before the tournament. We keep our email blasts in the News section of our website to include those limited to just our head coaches.

Thank you!
