Are You Prepared? Important Notes about Your Arrival at the Tournament

Important Notes about your Team's Arrival

1. Directions and address (for those who use GPS) is on the blogsite (www.aoctournament.blogspot.com)

2. It would be helpful to have the name and cell phone # of your head coach or bus driver. Typically, we dont have to use these, but in the event that your team leaves something at the facility or if there is inclement weather, etc. It's nice to be able to contact your team while they are enroute to/from the tournament site because this can save us all time and hassle.

3. As you are driving to the tournament if for any reason you need to contact us on-site, you may call either Brice Kauffman (863-370-0296) or Greg Mast (217-273-3721). If you don't reach us, leave a message or continue to try.

4. We want to stress again -- PLEASE allow plenty of time for your commute to Arthur. It's critical that we keep to our schedule as much as possible. If your team is not available at your scheduled game time, tournament management will likely require that your team forfeit the game.The schedule is so packed - we cannot reschedule games!

5. For those teams that play at 10:00 AM on Day 1 (Dec 27th) -- please note that we are not granted access to the building till 60 minutes prior to game-time. If your team arrives prior to this, please do not try to enter the facility. Communicate this to anyone traveling with your team in separate vehicles.

6. If you have any other questions that have not been addressed in an e-mail or on Facebook or the blogsite -- please e-mail us or call.

7. Finally, note on the schedules that the home team has been clearly designated for all games. Be sure to bring both sets of uniforms. It's not fair to an opponent to require them to rush to change when they were simply following the schedule.

 When you arrive at the Arthur Junior/Senior High School and enter the gymnasium lobby, let the admissions individual know what school you are with and they will be able to point you in the right direction to obtain your Team Packet and find the appropriate locker-room.

PS. If you haven't seen the game schedule and pairings scroll down here on the blogsite for that info!
