Dear Coaches/Parents,
Please share this with your entire team before the MAYB National Championships. We are glad to have you at the event and hope you have a great experience. We have a few items that are important to remember. Please read below.

Very important, know your schedule and plan to arrive early. Check the schedule on the tourney machine app before leaving a gym. The tourney machine schedule will have current info and people will be there to help you. If you are unsure of a playing location, please ask the supervisors.

Most importantly! There will be lots of great teams and players present. Please take the time to enjoy all the great talent present. Refs will make mistakes. Coaches will make mistakes. Players will make mistakes. It is all part of the game. Remember to conduct yourself in the proper manner. There is no place for foul language and out of control behavior at this event. Cheer from your team! We do not want to remove players, fans, coaches, etc…. from the event but we will, as needed.

Remember boy’s teams will check in at Chicken N Pickle (1240 N. Greenwich Rd Wichita, KS 67206) from 2pm – 10pm and Skills Competition at The Sports Forum on Thursday afternoon from 1pm – 4pm. There are also other locations for late arrivals but it is best to check in early. Remember, we are grade based and you must provide proof of grade for all players on your roster.

We will send out a roster invite from tourney machine once the schedule has been posted on tourney machine. Please make sure that roster is up to date as it will be used for your check in process as well as your score book.

Review all game rules and remember you will be responsible for a person at the table until the final rounds of the event. With over 950 teams not all things will run exactly as expected so please communicate in the proper manner and have a great time. I am excited to see all the kids on the court.

Thanks
Greg Raleigh and Staff, MAYB
