Thanks for all the responses/feedback regarding the tournament this weekend. We did a lot of moving to ensure that relatives participating in the tourney, regardless of the grade, were able to stick to a one-day commitment.
Brackets/Rules: Saturday's team plays a round-robin format and Sunday's team plays bracket format. Schedules/brackets will be posted and a copy of the rules will be available at the scorer's table in all gyms. Rules and brackets have also been attached.
Site/Parking: Games will be played in the High School, Elementary and Community Building sites, depending on bracket.
Admission/Concessions: We aren't sure on the price for admission, but generally adults are around $4-$6, Students Grades 1-12 $2-$3, Kindergarten and Younger $0, Players/Coaches $0. Concessions and Hot Shot t-shirts will be on sale and available in the high school. Please don't rely on concessions for their only snacks/meals, as it can be backed up and/or low on items.
What You Need to Bring: All players must wear their Hawley Hoopsters uniforms (they cannot play without a number). Please wear so the blue side is showing...we may have to change if we play a team with the same color, so make sure the girls are wearing a tank or something underneath so that the girls can quickly change and not need to run to the bathroom to change. If for some reason the uniforms don't arrive on time, since we have two different play dates, we will be able to share uniforms with friends. Teams must supply their own basketballs for warm-up so please bring your own basketball for warm-up and please make sure your name is clearly written on it (and maybe their "player number" or "Hawley" as well if you have a common last name). Water bottles are required and must also be labeled....please don't rely on picking up a water or Gatorade at concessions as the lines could be long and we need to be ready. We also advise bringing a sweatshirt and/or sweatpants to wear between games. Granola bars and other quick snacks are a great idea to pack!

How to Prepare: No metal can be on the girls, as well as nothing on their fingers or wrists...even friendship bracelets on the wrist cannot be worn. So earrings, jewelry, bobby pins or barrettes all have to go...if the earrings are new and cannot be taken out, they must be taped...we will have tape. Before each game, we would appreciate it if you can remind/encourage the girls to fill their water bottles and go to the bathroom before the game. All players must be present 15 minutes before game time. We also encourage them to get sleep the night before...they are going to be tired by the end of the tourney the way it is! :-)
Which Day do We Come? We only ask that you come on the day your child participates...you are certainly welcome to come both days, but not expected and know that players will probably have to pay admission on the day they don't play. We will be sending out another email regarding Saturday or Sunday tourney.
