14u Big D Classic 14u 2023 Big D Classic Revised Schedule is live. Starting at Warren Park at 10am. An effort was made to limit moving games times earlier for teams that were not originally scheduled to play early in the day. We only have Warren Park today. As a result, the format has been changed. Each team is in a box bracket. Each team will play two games today. Winners move right in the bracket, losers move left. Top two teams from each box will move to the Gold Bracket on Sunday at Warren. The 3rd and 4th teams from each box will move the Silver Bracket on Shawnee on Sunday. Additionally, the Gold and Silver Brackets will each have a consolation bracket for those squads who do not win their first bracket game. That schedule will be posted soon. Appreciate your patience. The rest of the rules are the same
