ATTENTION COACHES, TOURNAMENT MANAGERS, & FANS!!
Through the diligence and insightfulness of our web master, Cheryl Brandenburg, we now have the ability to post weather announcements throughout the day on our web site. This will enable managers, coaches, and fans to see if the contest is still on schedule and plan accordingly. Please understand that our weather is sometimes challenging and changes rapidly and may prevent posting on our web site prior to the departure of teams from their school.

A new page has been created to keep viewers updated on any necessary weather related announcements during the tournament season.  Remember to refresh your page often to view the latest announcements. 

A permanent link has been added to the left menu bar on the home page
at the top listed as "Weather Updates".
