A double-elimination tournament for all teams in the 10U, 12U and 16U divisions begins on Monday, June 1st. Championship games for the 12U and 16U divisions will be held at Winship School on Saturday, June 6th. The 10U division plays their Championship game at the Arcata Sports Complex on Wednesday, June 10th in Arcata. All games begin at 6:00 pm.

Final seedings for the tournament will be determined by Friday, May 29th.

Schedule adjustments as of 5/10/09

Revised schedules reflecting last week's rainouts are posted on the league website and available now. Changes effect games as soon as tomorrow, Monday 5/11. The Master Schedule and individual division schedules should match.

Please look over the revised schedules closely. It is the coaches' responsibility to communicate the changes to your teams.

8 Under Division: No changes to the existing schedules. The rained out interleague games will not be rescheduled.

10 Under Division: There were changes reflecting rainouts.

12 Under Division: There were changes to adjust for rainouts and schedule conflicts.

16 Under Division: There are no changes to the remainder of the schedule.

We've tried to fit in as many rescheduled games as we could. In some cases, either coaches' requests or field availability left me without good options for rescheduling. Changes from here on out will take place on a case by case basis. With just three weeks remaining in the season, and fields and umpires in short supply, please understand that we may not be able to make up each and every game.

Thank you all for your support and patience as we find times for games missed due to weather or school conflicts.

Remember that a post-season championship tournament for the 10U, 12U and 16U divisions will take place during the week of June 1st.

A few scheduling changes as of 4/20/09

We've made a few adjustments to the 8U, 10U, and 12U schedules to cover some rain-outs, additional games, and schedule conflicts. Please check the league's website to get hold of the latest schedules. (The 16U schedule thankfully remains as it was prior to the break.)

8Under teams: You now have two weeks of interleague games between Mad River and Cutten-Ridgewood teams, the weeks of May 4-7 and May 18-21. Note that all Cutten games are played at Winship School in Eureka with a 6:00 start time. All Mad River home games start at 6:30. There is one 6pm game at Hiller Park in McKinleyville, and one 6pm game in Manila.

10Under teams: The two games lost to rain on Thursday 4/09 have both been rescheduled for Monday 5/11.

12Under teams: The rain-out on 4/09 has been rescheduled to Wed 5/13. And, to accomodate the Cutten teams who can't get to Arcata prior to 6pm, I've shuffled the schedule a bit on the week of 4/28 to accomodate the time issue.

Please download the latest copy of your division schedule from the website and make sure your players and families have the latest version.

And, as always, stay tuned for additional adjustments as they come up. Your coaches should have the latest information, but if you have any questions, don't hesitate to email us at madrivergirlssoftball@gmail.com.
