After the rainfall we experienced this evening across Garrett County, we decided to stop/cancel most of the 6pm games.  Some games started and reverted back to the last completed inning and a few didn't get started.  Those games that didn't get played was declared a Tie for both teams.  A tie and a game not played is esentially the same.  A team with a 0-1-0 record would be seeded higher then a team with a 0-2-0 record.

The 12U games will start at 10am.  Tourney Machine should be updated. 

All other games as of 10pm tonight are going to be ready by 8am.   We have coaches and parents going out to the field around 6am.  

Coaches,

     As of right now it appears that Friday and Saturday we will have good weather for the Pool Play Games.   It is our intent to get in all games if possible.

   We have over 80 bags of quick dry on standby for Sunday's game.    Each facility will have a POC to communicate with the TD so information is passed along a quickly as possible.   Due to the distance inbetween some of our fields we might have weather issues at some locations and not others.    

   If for some reason we have to shorten Sunday's games and only proceed with the top 4 from each division we will send out notifications to all coaches what the status is for each division.  We are going to try our best to get in as many games as possible.  So please play the pool play games with this information into consideration.   

I will need the coach of the winning team to text me the final score.  Please include what division since we have teams with the same names in multiple divisons.  

Thanks

Rodney Bird
