*The above dates are suggestions only. Due to the complexities of securing a third-party facility for this sport, the higher seeded (home team) will set the date and time for the first three rounds within the parameters listed above. If the away team cannot make that date or time, the match will be forfeited to the home team. Schools may play on Sunday only if both schools agree. The first three (3) rounds must be completed by February 18th.
