Silver Division and Bronze Division assignments will be based upon similar criteria with an emphasis placed on President's Cup, Founder's Cup, and most recent league placement.

All schedules will be posted online, and game scores will be updated within 45 minutes of each game completion. Special scheduling requests (Examples include out-of-state travel requests and coaches with multiple teams.) will be honored as long as they do not jeopardize the integrity and competitive spirit of the tournament. The Tournament Scheduler will solicit coaches/managers for scheduling requests after registration closes.
