Courts 1,2, and 3 (HS gym - "Palace") will have seating provided for spectators surrounding the courts.  Court 4 (JH gym - "Pit") will have bleacher seating available. There will be no ball handling outside of the gyms. Team camps must be kept clean and be picked up by team members prior to leaving the facility.  This will be greatly appreciated. These rules will be strictly enforced.

Keep all coolers in your vehicles.  Coolers are prohibited in and outside facilities hosting OVR sanctioned events.  No outside food is to be brought in the school. Setting up of tables and/or cooking by teams or their support staff, fans, coaches or parents are prohibited at OVR sanctioned events.  A full concession stand will be available all day.

No rowdy fans or coaches will be tolerated.  If someone continually yells at the officials, scorekeepers, line judges or players, you will be asked to leave the facility.

Team Cancellations:  Per OVR regulations - a team cancelling after the entry deadline will forfeit its entry fee.  A team cancelling prior to the entry deadline does not forfeit its entry if a replacement team is found.

Tournament Cancellations:  If for any reason Mercer County is under a Level 3 emergency, the tournament will be cancelled.  A notice will be displayed at the OVR Juniors Tournament info page. I will contact by phone or email the contact person for each team as soon as can be possible.  Entry fees will be refunded to those teams by the end of the next week.

We hope that this will be a great tourney experience for all players, coaches, spectators, and all involved here at Coldwater.  Any questions, call my cell at 419-953-4521 or email me at etzler.mike@coldwatercavs.org
