Please read this entire message and pass all information to your teams that are involved. Don't assume that they will figure it out.

The tournament is almost over. Hopefully we have seen the last of the weather problems. There seems to be another problem.

No one hates to change a schedule more than I do. It creates many potential problems for everyone. Somehow somebody does not get the information. I am now hearing that some teams did not get the revisions the first time I sent them out. On February 25th I sent out an email with quite a few bracket changes. The reason for the changes was that the league was originally told that we could rent 3 courts at Carolina Courts on Thursday 3/4. We found out after the brackets had been made that there was only 1 court available and a change had to be made. There were also a couple of other church conflicts. All of the league's host churches have a lot going on and we are very grateful that we are able to use the gyms as much as we are for league games. Sometimes, beyond anyones control and at no fault of anyone, church activity conflicts come up. When this happens the schedule has to be changed.

There are a few teams that may still think they are playing on 3/4 at Carolina Courts. There are only 3 games at Carolina Courts Thursday night 3/4. The games are as listed on court #4:

If your team is not one of the teams listed above, they do not play at Carolina Courts on Thursday 3/4. We do not want a team traveling all the way to Indian Trail if they do not have a game.

I have posted a copy of the revised brackets that were sent out on 2/25 - they are marked "Posted 3-4". Click on the link for any Tournament Division and it will bring up the most up-to-date schedule.

Remember what I said about church conflicts, well we have a couple for this Saturday 3/6. It can't be helped and it may be an inconvenience to some teams. If it is I am very sorry. The new changes for this Saturday 3/6 are at Myers Park Baptist and Trinity. Some brackets had to be changed because semi-final games have to be played before the final can be played. The revised flight brackets for the games below are also posted above. Remember: Click on the link for any Tournament Division and it will bring up the most up-to-date schedule..

If you have any questions or confused by the changes please call (704-491-8514) or click here to email me ASAP.

There will be a slight change for tomorrow, Thursday March 4th.

All games played at Avondale Presbyterian will start 30 minutes later than shown on the schedule due to a gym conflict.

From Keith Tuesday 3/2/10:

Well tomorrow finally starts the tournament. It has been an interesting season to say the least. It has gone very good thanks to your hard work. You and your coaches have done a great job this year. Please pass this along to your coaches as well as these next thoughts. We have a great opportunity to really make a difference in someones life during the tournament. Let everyone see the love of Christ through you.

The tournament can either bring out the best or worst in your players and fans. As coaches you will influence which that is.
Your players and fans will follow your lead. It starts with the coach. If you win the game and blow your witness then everyone loses. You probably will not even know how your actions influenced someone, just know that they will influence someone either positively or negatively. YOU CHOOSE!

Please make sure the winning team records their score so we can keep up with it.

Good Luck in the tournament. Make sure that you coach and your team plays as if Jesus is your only spectator.

God Bless,
Keith

From Keith Friday 2/26/10:

There are a couple of typos. In the Girls B championship game on 3/8 the time reads 6:30am. It should be 6:30pm!

In the Girls E game at Providence between 225 SAR1 and 231 PRO2 is listed as being on 3/4 at 2:45pm. When I changed the game from Thursday to Saturday I failed to change the date from 3/4 to 3/6. The game is scheduled for 3/6 at 2:45 at Providence Baptist.

The corrected brackets are posted above, marked "Revised 2-27" because that's when we added them to the website.

There are some bracket and flight revisions. They range from the very simple typo, to a complete change in the location and time. I guess I need to start calling the first schedule a preliminary schedule. Hopefully this does not cause any teams a hardship. By the way I am taking a vacation. Not really!

We were told that we could have 3 courts at Carolina Courts in Indian trail on Thursday, but I found out today that only one court was available for Thursday night. I also made a mistake on the gym availability at MP Baptist and Mt. Harmony during the week. I have had to scramble a bit, but I think I have the brackets fixed. Of course this caused a change in some flights. Listed below are the flights that are affected. As I said, some are only a simple typo, while others involve a much bigger change. All the revised brackets are posted above (dated 2-25). All the changes are in red! Please discard the old flights and replace with the new revised brackets. Also make sure all your coaches get the revised brackets. Don't assume that they will look at the changes for themselves. We don't want any forfeits because a team failed to get the change.

List of tournament flight revisions:
A - 1st & 2nd flight
GB - 1st flight
C - 1st & 3rd flight
D - 3rd flight
GD - 1st & 2nd flight
E - 1st , 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th flight
GE - 1st & 2nd flight

Good Luck in the tournament,
Also, look for my yearly tournament e-mail tomorrow. Please pass it along to your coaches.
If you have any questions please give me a call. Thanks for your patience.

It has been proofed for typos, but there may still be some. If you find one please let me know ASAP. The teams were flighted using records as well as strength of schedule. Please make sure all your teams get this schedule. We don't want forfeits in the tournament. Unfortunately, if you have a conflict we cannot change the schedule. We are maxed out in gym space. Please note that there are a few teams that play 2 games this Saturday. There is enough time left between games to get some rest.

Please note that we are playing some games at Carolina Courts in Indian Trail.
Carolina Courts (Old Hickory Business Park) 7210 Stinson Hartis Rd.
Indian Trail NC 28079

I have also posted (links above) a list of teams by Flight and a Master Tournament Schedule by gym sites

I know some of you coach multiple teams. I tried to help you out in the first round, but after that you may have conflicts. It was close to impossible after the first round.
