Teams are reminded of the roster deadline to be entered on the team page on our tournament web site by May 15, 2010. Please include the most recent information about ACT/SAT or PSAT scores & GPA (based on a 4.0 system - if they are on a different system please indicate that or if GPA is a weighted one). Team pictures are due by May 30, 2010.
College coaches are reminded to register for a tournament packet from January 1 to June 1, 2010. The hotels and car rental agencies we are using are listed on our web site in the 2010 Tournament file on the bottom of the screen. Check with Naomi of the Chamber of Commerce for the best deals (303-344-1500) on the hotels. There were almost as many coaches who did not register as who did. This makes it difficult for us to provide you with a coaches packet. Please register by May 1st so that we can provide the most information to you and to include you school in the list of schools that are attending the tournament.
