Coach,

Thanks for participating in the upcoming tournament! We look forward to a great weekend. This will be our first tournament back since early March, and we are excited to see all of the teams on the court again.
Things will look a little different this weekend and we want to make sure you relay some information to your team. Please share all of the following information with your parents before the start of the tournament. It is vital that the following information is shared to parents/players before arrival.

We have gotten several questions about Spectators. Spectators are welcome to attend. We ask you to follow the guideline of no groups of over 20 people from the same team/family unit sitting in the same area. There will not be bleachers available so please bring bag chairs if you wish to sit. Those will be allowed. There will be markings on the floor to help with separation of spectators.

We want to limit the number of people in the gyms. So, please follow these guidelines. Show up for game no more than 20 minutes early. You will not be allowed in before that. Teams can't show up early and watch other games. If you have multiple children playing tell a supervisor to be able to stay for 2 consecutive games. After games are over all teams are to leave the facility as quickly as possible. If you have a team meeting, have it after game outside of the facility. We will also not have handshake lines after games to speed the process.

When you enter the facility for your game you will be directed to a "staging" area. Your team should remain in that area until the 2 teams from the previous game have fully exited the court. The benches and table will then be wiped down and kids can enter the court. At the Sports Forum staging areas will be east of the courts on the mezzanine and in front of the turf fields and sand volleyball. At Wichita Hoops the staging areas are the open courts connected to the court you are to play on. Please know the court you are to play on when you get to the gate.

Entry lines, especially early, may be longer than normal. There will be social distancing marks on the floor as you enter. Please stay in family groupings. Please have patience and after getting your wrist band have it on and ready to show so we can speed the process. Wrist bands must be worn. Coaches and players will go through the same process and then proceed to the coach check in table. There will be 2 coaches passes per team as is standard MAYB policy. Your patience in the entry process is greatly appreciated.

There will be no wall brackets for this tournament. Please use the tourneymachine app to follow results, standings, and game times. The app will be updated at the completion of each game. If you are unsure how to access the app, please ask and we will also have QR codes posted on the wall that you can scan and access the schedule.

Thank you for your patience. We appreciate your help in making the tournament run smoothly within some new guidelines. We all hope to be back to normal soon.

Sincerely



Greg Raleigh and MAYB Staff
