Click HERE to view the Schedule
Please read the following notes about the Tournament closely:
-The Tournament is a new season and teams can play multiple games (2 to 6 games) over the 2 weekends. Coaches are welcome to play to win but please play your players as fairly as possible. Being double elimination, a team can lose a game and still win the Championship!
-If a team knows they cannot continue at all in the Tournament please notify the League before the game is played so we can tell your opposition that they will be moving on win or lose! We do not want teams to win their game and then be a no-show for their next game- we want to avoid forfeits and allow teams to play their games. Coaches, we are counting on you to communicate with your parents about their availability for the next game! A team can forfeit a game (1st loss) and still continue but the league must know that the team is forfeiting their next game so we can tell their opposition.
-Games will not be changed unless the League deems it necessary and all teams affected must agree to any changes. Tightening tournament games up due to forfeits may occur and the League will notify teams as soon as possible of this situation.
-We took into consideration as many scheduling requests as possible but we could not honor many of them- just too many and some requests were just too unreasonable.
-There are 21 Divisions and we tried our best to match teams up when placing in a Division. This is not a perfect science by any means but we are trying to be as fair as possible to all teams.
-To get the games in over 2 weekends, this made us play early on Sundays. We apologize for this but we had to play early on Sunday to get the tournament in.
-Teams that are playing at the GJCC- On Saturday, October 1 and 8 from 7 am-12 Noon, our cars must park on the hill in the main parking lot of the GJCC and not by the Akiva School. Please carpool and families must not have more than one car per family during the Saturday games 8 am-12noon). PLEASE HELP WITH THE PARKING SITUATION AND IF WE DO NOT ABIDE BY THE PARKING RULES ON SATURDAY OCTOBER 1 WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE FACILITY ON SATURDAY OCTOBER 8. There is a small soccer league playing at the GJCC and we must not interfere with their activities.
-There are bathrooms near the GJCC fields but there will not be any Concessions. Bring fluids for the players when playing at the GJCC.
-All 1st and 2nd place division teams will receive special medallions and these medallions will be presented to the players by the Concession Stand after their championship game.
-1st place teams of all divisions will be invited to the Transperfect Music City Bowl on December 31 with free tickets and a parade before the game. If a 1st place team cannot attend the Transperfect Music City Bowl game on December 31, the 2nd place team will be asked to attend. The 1st place teams must declare if they can attend the Music City Bowl when they receive their 1st place medallions.
-We expect all fans, players, and coaches to honor our sportsmanship code during the Tournament. Anyone asked to leave a game will not be present for the next contest.
-We will be checking rosters and all players must be on the team roster. No add-on players will be allowed and if anyone is added that is not on the roster the game will be a forfeit.
-All players must be in matching jerseys (there may be a few exceptions that the team name and the number may not be on the front of the jersey but the same style jersey must be worn). A few players have lost their jerseys and team names and numbers were not reprinted. Coaches must be in WNSL Coach shirts or matching shirts of the team.
-NO PLAYER MAY PLAY ON 2 TEAMS. IF A TEAM DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH PLAYERS AND ADDS LITTLE BROTHERS OF THER PLAYERS THIS IS OKAY BUT THE GAME WILL BE A FORFEIT. We allow this to get the games played. Matching shirts are required.
-The minimum number of players for a team to play a game and not forfeit: 4 for Pre-K and K, 6 for 1st- High School. A team with only 6 players is okay but the opposition may play with 7.
-The Championship game will be a one game “winner take all” game. The Losers Bracket team does not have to beat the Winners Bracket team twice to win the championship.
-In case of rain, we will figure things out and see what dates we will play. We cannot play past October 22/23 for sure. Let’s hope for dry conditions on October 1, 2, 8, and 9!
Thanks to everyone for understanding this season- we started early because school started earlier than ever before and we are finishing early because of multiple Fall Breaks that stretch from October 1-16 this year. We are trying to please everyone and get teams as many games in as possible. We have some other issues from outside sources that are too difficult to explain but we are working through them. We cannot please everyone but finishing on October 9th is the best course of action we think. We simply could not take off 3 weekends and start back up on October 22nd- that does not work.
Good luck to all teams with the “2nd Season of WNSL Flag Football” and please communicate with the League if need be. Let’s hope for dry conditions and lower temperatures and humidity!
Keep in mind please- this is a flag football tournament and is not an NFL Superbowl! It is important but not that important and let’s keep everything in perspective!
Thanks for playing in the WNSL this Fall,
Scott
