Tournament Schedule

Region Championships Information

  • Coaches Meeting: 7:30 am or 2:30 pm START Time
  • Tournament START Time:  8 am or 3 pm

Region Championships tournaments are here. The format is very different than our regular power tournaments. For the Gold Divisions of 11s and 12s, the tournament will start the 1st match at 8 am and last most of the day instead of just half day. For teams in 12s Group 2 (not in contention for the Gold), the  tournament will start at 8 am or 3 pm and last for approximately 6-7 hours.  Lots of information follows. Please read it!!

Parents: There is no lunch break built into the tournament. Please bring food with you or send someone for food. Neither the coach nor the players should leave the site for food. Do not stop for lunch when moving to another site for bracket play. The bracket play will start when teams have arrived to start the tournament. Sites are in contact with each other to know when play has ended at each site. Penalties for being late to ref assignments or match play will be enforced. Several sites have snack bars open for business if food can't be brought with you.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ANY FOOD OR DRINKS INTO ANY GYM. ALL COOLERS ARE TO BE LEFT OUTSIDE. NO EXCEPTIONS ARE ALLOWED AT ANY GYM. ONLY WATER IN CLOSED CONTAINERS FOR PLAYERS AND COACHES IS ALLOWED IN THE GYMS.

NO COOKING OR HEATING OF ANY KIND IS ALLOWED AT ANY OF OUR SITES AS WELL.

NO ALCOHOL IS ALLOWED ON THE CAMPUSES OF ANY OF OUR SITES - NOT EVEN ON A SATURDAY OR SUNDAY FOR ADULTS ONLY. THE SCHOOLS ARE ALCOHOL, TOBACCO AND DRUG FREE ZONES 24/7 - THIS IS A STATE LAW.

PLEASE CLEAN UP YOUR TEAM CAMP AREA. PLEASE BAG YOUR TRASH AND TAKE IT WITH YOU. DO NOT LEAVE WRAPPERS AND FOOD BEHIND. THIS IS ALSO A GOOD WAY TO MAKE SURE NO OTHER PERSONAL ITEMS ARE LEFT BEHIND.

Coaches:

  • Check-in should be completed at the tournament desk no later than 1/2 hour prior to the tournament first match start time. A picture ID for each coach on the roster is required along with a medical release form for each player on the roster.  There is an 8 point penalty to the team's first match if the coach is not checked in 1/2 hour prior the tournament first match start time or does not attend the coach's meetings - even if the team is off the first match.
  • A current verified SportsEngine roster or event specific AES roster is required to be signed and turned into the site director for use at the tournament.
