As always, these TENTATIVE schedules are subject to change and become final ONLY when released as "OFFICIAL" at the Manager's meeting before play commences ... NOTE: Managers who do NOT attend the meeting will be presumed to be fully informed on ALL matters (such as schedule changes, tourney formats and rules issues) discussed at the meeting. Tournament rosters are frozen as of the Managers Meeting. NO on-site player additions are allowed without Tournament Director approval before teams first game. Managers who do not attend Manager Meeting, and do not send a representative, will be prohibited from beginning tournament play before check-in with Field Director and are prohibited from Roster additions ... The Master Games & Fields Grid and other relevant information links have also been posted on the Tournament page ... Good luck to all!

| Sept. 23, 2012 DaveDowell Men's 70 4317 posts | REVISION 65-MAJOR SEEDING The Monday Seeding Round games for the 65-Major division at Shadow Rock Park have been revised. The initial DRAFT schedule contained a conflict for a Hall of Fame inductee and his team being scheduled to play at the same time as the Opening Ceremonies and his HoF induction at Big League Dreams. The revised schedule and updated Master Grid have been posted. We apologize for any inconvenience. |
| Sept. 24, 2012 DaveDowell Men's 70 4317 posts | REVISION 60-AA DIVISION Due to the withdrawal of a 60-AA team this morning (Lincoln Hills Coyotes-Black), the seeding games and bracket schedules were revised. The Division is now comprised of 18 teams. Changes are nominal in most regards, but supersede any previous versions. We apologize for any inconvenience. |

| Sept. 25, 2012 DaveDowell Men's 70 4317 posts | 50-AAA SEEDING ROUNDS & BRACKETS The Seeding Round and Bracket Game schedules for the 50-AAA Division have been posted and are available from the links referenced above ... Some notes are appropriate ... The 49-Team division represents the largest bracket in our history. The former largest was also the 50-AAA, in 2004 with 34 teams. Two brackets this year (60-AAA at 38 teams) are larger, and one this year (50-Major at 33 teams) is a close runner-up. Seeding games ARE important in this division. The Bracket has 113 games! A team earning a bye can win the championship in 6 games if they remain unbeaten. A team that doesn't earn a bye and loses it's first bracket game can certainly still win it all. They would do so in their 14th game, including the 2 seeding games, on Sunday afternoon. Seeding is occurring at three facilities (Big League Dreams, Cheyenne Park and Shadow Rock Park) Friday, and bracket play will occur in four separate complexes. Brackets will begin on Friday afternoon at 3:00 PM at Cheyenne and Shadow Rock. Every team will play at least one game. Teams not getting a bye and winning their first round games will also play against a 'bye' team on Friday (with one exception: Game #19 is Saturday morning). Bracket play resumes on Saturday at 8:00 AM at Arroyo Grande, Cheyenne and Shadow Rock, and at 12:30 PM at Cheyenne, following the conclusion of a conflicting pre-existing tournament by another entity. Teams WILL move from initial Saturday complexes as they 'win their way' back to the primary site at Shadow Rock. Please become familiar with the Brackets before you get to Las Vegas. There is ample time for team travel built into the schedule, but not a lot of time to spare! Good luck everyone! |
