2:00 PM SATURDAY 9/21/24 TOURNAMENT AND WEATHER UPDATES:

I know a number of people are curious about the weather for Sunday and whether we play.
As of this writing, we are planning to play on schedule.
We have no control on how much or when it will rain tonight or Sunday.
Depending on the amount of rain and when we get it, we may have to modify some aspects of the tournament.
You will be notified if and when we have changes.
We have plans laid out to deal with these issues, if and when they occur.
Until early Sunday morning, we won't know anything.
Weather delays and tournament updates will be posted on the TournamentMVP.com tournament web page, at the top of the Pool & Brackets page, as well as on the Kansas Fastpitch Softball Facebook page.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work toward a successful tournament Sunday.
