Tournament Wrap up
Monday 8/31/2009 - Despite three rounds of storms on Friday and Saturday, the teams participating the 2009 August Cup were able start all of the ~430 scheduled and rescheduled round robin games. The tournament staff greatly appreciated your patience and understanding while we did the rescheduling twice on Saturday. Sunday turned out to be an excellent day and all teams got to play their round three game and rescheduled round one game. A special thank you the 500+ volunteers and 200+ referees that made the tournament possible as the schedules changed.
Thank you for your participation in the 2009 August Cup! Good Luck with your fall season! We look forward to seeing your team back in 2010!
