Central MS - Beating Breast Cancer - Presented by The Tournament Team

September 30th 6:30 pm. There have been multiple schedule changes as of 6:30 on September 30th. Please check your pool game times & locations. 

1. Also, there is weather that could affect play predicted Sunday afternoon. In order to try and avoid weather delays, we have decided to start all bracket games at 9 am Sunday. 
2. 8U, 9UAA, 10UA, 13U, 14U Championship Brackets will be at Flowood
3. 9UA, 10UAA, 11UA, 12UA, 12UAA Championship Brackets will be at the Quarry. 
4. 10UAA, 11UA, 12UA, 12UAA will also have a 9 am bracket game at Shiloh Park. Again, this was done in order to try and beat the weather. If you end up with a 9 am bracket game at Shiloh Sunday, you will have plenty of time to get to Quarry for your next game. There will be at least a game break in order for you to get there. 
5. 9UA, 9UAA, 10UA, 11UA Consolation Brackets will be at Shiloh Park Sunday
6. If you think the weather may play a factor, we encourage you to make your pool games count so you make the championship brackets.
