When the game is played, please report scores of the match to PlayoffsatGSB@gmail.com Please note that this is a different email address than you have been using to report regular league games. The bracket will be updated and teams that are moving on should contact their next opponent regarding time, date, and location of their next match. Format the subject of your email to include (in order please!) Grade Gender Flight - for example; 4th Girls Flight A - include teams and scores in body of email. Please follow the subject convention as all of the flight coordinators will be accessing the same email account and the easier you make it to find what we need, the easier it will be for us to keep the brackets current.
Don't be afraid to be Proactive! If you are moving on to the next round, and your next opponent will be the winner of a match scheduled to take place in the future, contact both teams to see what would work best for them (assuming that they win and move on). Don't leave everything to the last minute. If we have learned nothing this season, it's always a good idea to play EARLY! Remember Mother Nature has not been kind, and I would not count on her behavior improving.
Good luck to all participants in the tournament!
