We will know more as we get closer to the entry deadline of October 27th, 2015 ... In the interim, we can speculate with some degree of confidence on a few Divisions ...

Men's 65+ through 80+ will play at Rose Mofford and Papago Parks
Women's Senior Divisions (50+ and more senior) will play at Mountain Vista Park

Not yet ... Deadline isn't until Tuesday, 10/27/15 ... It'll be a couple or few days thereafter, if we publish them ahead of the generation of the DRAFT game schedules and brackets ... Check back here periodically ...

No update ... The entry deadline was extended through the end of this week to accommodate the Men's 40-Masters, who just concluded their Session of the World Masters Championships on Sunday ... The attendance has already significantly exceeded the former tournament record of 175 and could surpass Reno as the second largest tournament on the annual calendar ...

We probably WILL NOT be attempting to guess where any divisions will be until entries finally close, are tabulated, games demand is calculated and that demand is matched against existing fields inventory ... Best estimate right now is when we actually generate the DRAFT schedules and know where everyone will fit in the (possibly expanding) fields inventory ...

Does that mean your earlier projection (Oct 8) of field assignments for men's 65-80+ is no longer valid?

Nope. The Men's 65-85+ divisions will be playing at Papago or Rose Mofford.

UPDATE • We are finishing up a comprehensive revision for the Winter Nationals (FL) due to a late team withdrawal AND are seeking an additional playing facility for Session #2 in Phoenix to accommodate the games demand from the new tournament record attendance ... Will advise when we know more ... It's likely several divisions will be playing in multiple locations ...

SSUSA - I believe the group asking the questions here are concerned about the first session, either Rose Mofford or Papago so they can get reservations firmed up for hotels. Looking at the number of teams in the first session, I would assume those decisions can be made now. As you know, it's quite a distance between these two parks.

Brock ... There will very likely be a third facility for Session #1, and that would be Desert West ... The team load and related games demand is pushing the limits of being able to play these age groups at two sites without resorting to evening/dusk game times ... We finished the major revision to Ft. Myers within the past hour ... Session #1 Phoenix is up next ... Thanks!

any update on field assignments for phoenix national? Specifically 40s. Team likes to reserve hotels as close to fields as possible.

Voodoo ... Book on the West Side ... Likely to be either Desert West or Cesar Chavez ... NO GUARANTEES, but that's the current thinking ... Still attempting to get another complex for Session #2 ...

Dave thanks im going to try and hold off a few more days. Team likes to be by fields and there is 25 minutes between each listed so hopefully you will decide this week.
Thank you when do you think final decision will be?
