The GUARANTEED No Friday Option
Overwhelmingly, teams have elected to take advantage of the No Friday option even though there's a small fee. We recognize that very few tournaments offer this option, here's why we do:
- Most, if not all, tournament requests are NOT guaranteed. This is a way to guarantee you don't play on Friday.
- We pay for Friday's at most complexes we rent and MANY teams are asking for No Friday games, which is understandable.
- It's a way to determine who really needs No Friday's.
- The inability to play games on Friday's means we need to take fewer teams in the tournament.
- The teams who are "local" and can play on Friday are repeatedly placed in the same pools, tournament after tournament. This enables them to play different competition.
- We eliminate all the teams who elected the No Friday option from Friday scheduling consideration
- We count and evaluate the remaining teams to maximize facility usage on Friday. For example, if we can play on seven (7) fields on Friday, we look for 14 teams. If there are 15 teams who did not elect No Friday's, then the furthest one (1) team WILL NOT be scheduled and the closest fourteen (14) will be scheduled. Therefore, distance may play a role. However, almost everyone like the option to ensure they don't play so we haven't encountered this situation.
