Scheduling
Overall I think a great job is done in scheduling these tournaments, especially when you have to scramble due to weather postponements. Kudos to Tim and staff for getting it all in at the ACC Championships this past weekend in Loudoun. However, none of the teams in the ACC liked the "IF" game as originally scheduled after a 1 game wait. It should be back to back. Typically, it always has been that way. Teams are warmed up, ready to go, then they were scheduled to wait at least 1 game. After a long weekend, it's difficult to get guys over 50 primed up and ready to play! Just sayin'.

The initially scheduled staggered "If" games were required rather than having two groups end up with a two-game wait (50-AAA and 50-Major) ... Take a look at the Master Planning Grid for Sunday and the picture will become obvious right away ...It's not the preferred method, but was the only one available that was fair to all of the teams that could have faced "If Needed" games ... When we are forced to schedule like that, all it takes is a little luck in some of the "If" games not being required ... Sometimes it works that way, sometimes not! ... Thanks!
