We lost a field for Saturday pool play due to HS Playoffs and today's weather. Adjusted the pool schedule accordingly with an emphasis on no opponent changes and minimizing adjustments to any early games. Everyone's pool schedule changed. Not ideal, but it never is when changed in the middle. 2023 14u NT Spring Showdown [email protected]
