Reminder For Managers: Check Your Paperwork!

THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 8:36 p.m. — We’ve been getting great feedback about how much you’re enjoying myGSWS.com as a tool for keeping track of your tournament experience. As we head into Friday, though, we wanted to issue a reminder that team managers should also consult their official schedule provided at the Managers Meeting on Monday (Tuesday for the “A” & Masters Divisions).

Link: Official Friday / Saturday Schedule Grid

Friday is the day when teams could face multiple games working their way up through their division’s losers bracket. So far, we haven’t had any major issues with the system — but the stakes are much higher on Friday when teams could potentially play up to five or more games.

For players and fans, continue enjoying all the new possibilities provided by myGSWS.com, but team managers should continue to consult their official paperwork to make sure things move smoothly for the rest of the tournament.
