Hi Dave , I see that the 75 Major Plus teams will be playing at BLD which is fine However We only have Four Teams in our Division and I was hoping that we could complete our Tournament in Three Days. Could you please let us know ASAP as we would like to make Flight and Lodging Arrangements. It could save us some Money if we make plans now. Thanks, Tom

tvp ... We will have a discussion today about that possibility ... Our scheduling philosophy over the years has been trying to limit 75+ and more senior divisions to two games per day ... This is a health and welfare issue, not knowing in advance what the temps may be in Las Vegas ... Going to a 3-day format would require all teams to play three on Tuesday and one team (the elimination bracket team) to potentially play three again on Wednesday ... There is also not much room to "spread them out" because we are subject to Local League restrictions requiring early end-of-day scheduling at most venues ... Thanks for your patience ...

tvp ... We just discussed this and believe it is a potential safety issue. We have to assume it will be hot and league pressure prevents scheduling older teams (75's, 80's and 85's) with sufficient breaks to allow playing three games in a day. It will have to remain a 4-day schedule....for player safety. Thank you.

They are quite busy setting up the large brackets. As the SSUSA Staff said on September 5th, "...Final Field Assignments will be released simultaneous with the publication of the DRAFT Game Schedules and Brackets within the next couple/few days ..." Therefore, we should all see these seeding/brackets by September 7 or 8.

JMHO,

Seeding game schedules (first) and Brackets (a bit later) will post to this website within 15 minutes of being completed and passing final technical review ... There is no way to precisely predict when that may be, but rest assured we have NO incentive to delay their release ... If they are on this Message Board and the event Tournament Page, they are done ... If not, they aren't ... Thanks for your patience ...
