Coaches,

With high school season upon us, I'm sure everyone is getting excited and geared up for the season to begin. Here at Sports Plus we are getting excited as well, and are inviting you to help carry on the "James Cup" tradition of high quality high school inline hockey action.

We are planning a annual pre-season tournament in which the winning team at the Varsity level will capture the prestigious "James Cup" for the year. Furthermore
it will give each coach an opportunity to evaluate their team before the regular season begins. It is our hope to include some out of town regulated high school teams to participate in this event as well. Tournament format is as follows:

DIVISIONS: Varsity and Junior Varsity high school teams only.

RESTRICTIONS: Accepting 10 Varsity team registrations and 6 Junior
Varsity team registrations.

COST: $350 per team

timeout per game. Preliminary games remain a tie. Playoff

Playoff games end with a sudden death shoot out.
Championship game ends with as many 5 minute sudden death
overtime periods as it takes to determine a champion.

AWARDS: (Each Division) 1st place team trophy. 1st and 2nd place
individual awards.

You know, a lot of these get posted with no city or state mentioned. Think it could be done? I might want to spectate.

Hi,

Normally, that information is in the e-mail sent to me. When I get really busy, like I am right now, sometimes I don't notice it's not there.

Yua know - I thought exactly the same thing.

So, I went to the link http://www.thehockeydome.com/ (Cinncinati, OH)

Yeah, I really want to put 50 extra keystrokes in after reading a press release. Rich is busy and can't (shouldn't have to)look this up every time and include it. I will continue to investigate if it hooks me but no city, state I usually leave it alone. Jusy funny about who, what, why, where and when....Thanks Rich for your answer.

Hi NLane,

What I really, really, really want to have is an automated Calendar section. Calendar takes up more time and gives more headaches than any other department on site. If anyone has any good suggestions for automated programs that will take care of this issue, I'd be much obliged.
