Athletic Directors and Administrators,
It has become increasingly more apparent that we need to make a rule adaptation for the JV and Varsity Divisions.
Our Tournament Directors have been reviewing multiple requests by teams to be at certain age levels; such as, JV
and Varsity. We realized that we could potentially end up with one very large division of teams while the other
division would be very small.
We would like input from the Athletic Director from each school (not every coach). If we have your support from a
vast majority of the Athletic Directors we will go ahead with this rule. If many of you think we need to have further
review of this rule, we can go back to the drawing board. As tournament directors we have different challenges each
year with the nature of all of our teams and believe we can meet more teams' needs by going in the directions of multiple
divisions and allowing the outcome of games to determine what level they should play in.
Rule adaptation for tournament:
All teams in the 15-18 year range would be put in one division called Varsity, for seeding games and then broken into
2 or 3 divisions as needed and based on ability after the seeding games. Division 1 would be the highest ability. All
teams will estimate what level they think is appropriate for their team prior to the start of the tournament. We will
use season information, team request, and seeding games to make a final determination of what level each team is in.
Sincerely In Christ,
Jeff Paterson, Tournament Director
