Registration for teams will remain open until February 1st.  At
that time I will not accept any more registrations unless there is
space.

Only the top sixteen ranked teams (as of Tuesday, March 24th) of

This tournament is restricted to Ohio Valley Region teams only.

This is a special tournament for 15 and 16 American Division teams
to earn a spot in the OVR National Bid Tournament.  The OVR
National Bid Tournament is normally restricted to just teams
registered as National Division teams.  This Play-In Tournament
allows Regional and American teams to try to earn a spot in the
Bid Tournament.  The top two teams from this event are guaranteed
a spot in the Bid Tournament.  If more spots are available in the
Bid Tournament then the 3rd and 4th place teams may also be
invited to play in the Bid Tournament.

This Play-In Tournament is only open to teams serious about
playing in the Bid Tournament.  Do not enter this tournament if
you are not willing to participate in the Bid Tournament.  If you
earn a spot in the Bid Tournament and do not participate, your
club will not be allowed to participate in the Play-In Tournament
the next season.

All seven Play-In Tournaments are considered one event.  So a
player may participate for only one team across both weekends.

Grade-level teams are not allowed into this event.  Your team must
be age appropriate for the division you enter.

There is a State of Ohio law that requires all coaches and
administrators of juniors sports teams to have concussion
certifications.  Here is a link to the NFHS course in  Concussion
in Sports

Some seating is provided.  You may also bring your own folding
chair. 

Outside food is not allowed into the facility.  Game Time Sports
will be
hosting a concession stand for participants and spectators. 
Personal coolers must be left in your vehicles.

If severe weather is expected, please watch this space for
updates.
