2:15 pm – Sr. Red American

3:45 pm – Senior Red Central

5:15 pm – JV.  Red American

6:45 pm – Senior Red National

If the gyms become unavailable, then the team with the highest seed will host the championship game at their home court on a mutually agreed upon date for both teams. Coaches will then make arrangements with me to pick up trophies.

All league games must be completed before the start of the first round.

 Over the last weekend I need winning coaches to email scores to website or directly to me at(Neil@JDCNY.org). This is very important so I can call coaches to tell them who they play in the first playoff round.

I will contact coaches the Sunday before the first round of playoffs to confirm your position. If you finish in 1^st or 2^nd place you must contact your 1^st round playoff opponent, as well as your referee assignor, to schedule playoff game and referees. Good Luck!

Tentative meeting date for next year is 7 PM on Monday October 25, 2010 at Valley Middle School in Oakland.

Reminder - it is required that adults and not children handle the score clock and scorebook responsibilities.
