Scores: the winning coach should turn in the score card at the Headquarter tent within 15 minutes of completion of each game. All scores will be displayed on the large score board. We will also be posting updated scores on LaPrep as each round wraps up.

Water Stations: We will be setting up 2 water stations complete with cups and garbage at EACH Field (two for each field). We will be making rounds to refill the water and empty the garbage through out the day. You do not need to travel with any water coolers. I know I will not have enough benches for all of the fields. Please bring any portable benches that you may already have for your teams.

Game Balls: Third Coast soccer is helping to sponsor the game balls. There will be three game balls per field.

Ball Boys and Girls: The St. Michael HS Boys and Girls Soccer players will serve as Ball Boys/Girls and Field Marshals for each game.

Bathrooms: we have ordered 10 porta potties in addition to the bathrooms located at Burbank.

Bus Parking: Please park busses on the perimeter in the grass next to the gravel road. Save the parking lots for spectators.

Admission: is $6.00 per person each day. This will be collected as the cars drive in at each entrance.

T-Shirts: will be available at the event site. They will be screened and personalized by "I am Soccer".

This tournament is now the biggest in the State and we want to make sure to improve it each year and keep it that way. Many of the items mentioned above are the result of your requests and ideas in years past. Our job will be to deliver the best tournament experience that we can given the resources that we have.

Anyone have any contacts at St. Charles Catholic? We desperately need one more boys team to commit to avoid having 11 teams in the Red Division. They would be our primary choice, but any of you coaches out there who would want to enter your boys teams on such short notice are welcome. Please respond as soon as possible. Thanks.

If Sean LeBlanc Is still there, I think I have his number. I will text it to Coach Fletcher in a few minutes.

He is indeed still the coach there. Thanks, Paul.

I texted it to coach Fletcher. .

[nolapelota]

I texted coach of Haynes too, though I think personal schedule conflicts limit that possibility.

All,

With the tournament fast approaching, so is the time to pick up your customized t-shirts from IAMSOCCER. Tournament shirts as well as regular IAMSOCCER merchandise will be available and ready to customize on site. In light of having a co-ed tournament, we will release two versions of our logo for the t-shirts. I attached them to the post for everyone to preview. Add your name and number to the back and you have the perfect memory of what should be a fantastic weekend of soccer! Hope everyone is ready to go!

Grace King looks like favorite followed by Beau Chene. There could be some surprises in this tournament and can't wait to see how this goes.

Try this.

That did the trick.  Works perfectly now.

And I gotta say, it is pretty sharp looking.  I'd only make one suggestion - needs a little purple & gold in place of the red and black.

Merry Christmas, and we look forward to hosting you all tomorrow!

Looking forward to some top notch reporting from anyone out there as the games should be getting ready to start in a bit. I thought about heading that way but "rest" won out over "recreation" for me. Though my son and some buddies went so I may get an update here and there.

Field 21 is right by me, so I'll try and give some updates on those games. ED White vs Beau Chene is next up.

[warrior16]

CNI up 1-0 on St. Louis. I believe Beau Chene and ED White are scoreless.
