    All Tournament Brackets Now Available

    Please note that teams were assigned to brackets and seeded based on regular season results as of 9pm on Monday, February 10th for the 7th-12th grade tournament and 10am on Monday, February 17th for the 3rd-6th grade tournament.  While record is the primary driver of seeding, other factors are taken into consideration including head-to-head, strength of schedule, as well as trying to avoid first round matchups between teams from the same organization or pod in (in rec divisions only).  We tried to reduce travel as much as possible, but this is a city wide tournament and we had very few sites available that were centrally located.  In addition, we only guarantee that head coaches with multiple teams can coach their first round games for both teams.  We did the best we could beyond that but please make sure in this case that you have a competent assistant if both teams advance.

    You can access the schedule using the buttons below (all games for your bracket are shown by looking at the Physical Bracket or Schedule by Bracket) or there is a Tournament option on the Schedule menu with the same options to all of the tournament information.  Please note that all brackets, seeds, and schedules are final.

    Rosters Are Now Frozen

    As of midnight on December 31st, rosters were frozen.  At that time, the following changes were made to the web site:

    1. Liability waiver submissions will no longer create roster entries (for those organizations that had chosen that setting)
    2. Coaches and coordinators will no longer be able to add players to rosters.
    3. Coaches will no longer be able to edit rosters (for those organizations that had chose that setting).  Coordinators are still able to edit rosters (specifically to maintain jersey numbers).
    4. Moving forward, only coordinators will be able to make updates to rosters, and ANY additions to the roster must be sent to the league for approval before being made on the web site.  Only special circumstances will be considered.
