The AGC for U15 girls sent an email with some information about blackout dates, brackets, etc. I don't remember receiving an email like this before from an AGC - nice job Lee! One thing that stood out is that only 56 teams were declared in this age group (so far). Last season there were 68. Is it common to have that much of a drop off when kids get to high school age?
Here's the email:
GOOD MORNING ALL...
Welcome to the Fall 15 Athena U15 season!
I have a few VERY important items for you all...
BLACKOUT DATES
Each team gets 4 blackout dates, if you don't ask, you will probably have a game that day and then are at the mercy of the opponent as far as time/reschedules.
BRACKETING
We currently have 56 teams declared... Hopefully, you have included any notes pertinent to your team's placement and/or player composition in your declaration. Please go back to make sure all your information is correct. Some teams are missing flight declarations.
Once roster checks are complete and any player questions are answered I will release a preliminary bracket to address any questions that any of you may have.
SCHEDULING
Sometime during the first or second week of August we will release schedules (will get you a date in the next email)... AGAIN, if you don't declare it as a blackout date --- YOU own it. In other words, you are responsible for the rescheduling and are at the mercy of the other side --- we will address reschedules and season procedures once we get brackets and schedules up.
If you are a club that is out of the Atlanta area and you wish to play two away games in a weekend to cut your trips down, please make sure you have noted it on your application OR send me an email now.
ANY questions, please feel free to either shoot me an email. I usually get to everything within 24-48 hours. Here's to a GREAT and SMOOTH season.
