All:
Two things:
First, I have a correction and apology to make regarding the developmental tournament announcements. St Bede First Grade Team was the second place finisher. I had initially reported them as only making it to the semifinals. Congrats St. Bede.
Second, as we head into our last weekend of play at the JV/V level, I would remind all teams to upload the gamecards immediately after their game. There are some very close brackets that may come down to tie breakers and the sooner we have the scores from these games, the sooner we can make playoff determinations and announce pairings, dates and times for specific games. Absent an exemption granted by me, games not played by Sunday will not count for standings, so please contact me immediately if you foresee any issues.
I would again ask each coach to review the webpage standings and confirm that they are accurate. https://pittdsl.org/standings/ To our knowledge these standings are accurate (absent possible tie breaker situations as the web page formula isn't aligned with our tie breaker formula (human logic and computer logic are not always simpatico, so I have to sharpen the pencil and crunch numbers when we get into the realm of tiebreakers).
Also note that this is the second request asking teams to review standings. If you fail to review the standings and do not bring any issues to our attention by Sunday, the ability for us to make any necessary corrections will have expired as more than likely schedules and pairings will have been released. And while I will feel bad that due to an error your team was left out, I will remind you of this email and the one before where I asked you to verify standings and explain that had you reviewed and brought it to our attention earlier we could have corrected it, but that the period for corrections has expired.
Don't put yourself, your team or me in that position, please review. Remember we are volunteers with day jobs and teams of our own. And while we have reviewed the standings and believe them to be correct, it is not too much to ask that each of you confirm your team's standings as a final quality control check.
That's it, good luck to the teams that are playing this weekend and everyone else have a great memorial day weekend.
Rob
