September 1, 2010: Coaches, managers,
Mother Nature is throwing us a Curve Ball, thank heavens is is hittable!!! (Sorry for the baseball reference)
We are getting a glancing blow from the storm and it is going to alter the way we set up the tournament.
1. Registration @ Dick's is going to start at 6:00 pm. Please make sure to get the word out to your managers or whomever is making the trip.
2. We are not altering the game schedule.
3. We are going to have to do some physical setup on Saturday morning. The sites will be scrambling to get ready during the first games. The tents will be going up on Saturday morning, rather than setting them up overnight and losing them to the wind.
4. We are asking the town to get the final mowing and lines done in the next 2 days, the rain may affect how visible they are, but cross your fingers. The mowing and lines are usually done on Friday.
5. We will make every attempt to make this seemless, Please bear with us.
Dick Cavanaugh
Barmak Director
(At least it isn't snow)
