We have done everything we can to make these schedules convenient but please understand - we cannot make changes except to correct clear errors. Once the schedules have been released to the referee schedulers, it is an impossible task to re-arrange games. (The referee schedules should be published by Wednesday evening but please be patient.)
We make every effort to balance the schedules - but we rely on the self-rating of the coaches who submitted the registration for the Cup as well as some additional objective data. We know that this will not always work, no matter how hard we try, and we ask that a team that is winning too easily should respect its opponent and show good sportsmanship.
In a very small number of cases, teams from the same region play each other. There really is no way to avoid this, especially in divisions where a region enters more than two teams, as has occurred in several divisions this year.
This year, we have ensured that there are at least 3 hours between start times.
All teams on the schedule have been accepted and approved. However, if a team drops out at this stage, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to find replacement opponents.
HAVE FUN!
