The seeding process of the OMSLA State Championship Tournament has been completed. Each team’s Division/Seed and their first game time and opponent can be found here. Please note - there are two "Westside" teams. Westside (NE Ohio) and Westside Wildcats (SW Ohio).
The complete tournament bracket layout can be found here.
For planning purposes, everyone's second game on Saturday, regardless of the outcome of your first game, is scheduled to be played 3 hours after your first contest. For example, if you play your first game at 8:00am, your second game is scheduled to start at 11:00am. Every team will have two games on Saturday. Sunday's game time will depend on the team's success in the first two contests. A complete bracket layout will be posted later.
Mandatory Head Coaches Meeting – Each Head Coach must attend a Tournament meeting 45 minutes prior to the start of their first contest on Saturday. At this meeting, each coach will be asked to sign a Code of Conduct statement. Failure to appear at your appointed meeting and executing the Code of Conduct document, may result in a penalty to start your first game. The coaches will meet under the DSHS Stadium as follows, if your first game time (coach meeting time):
· 8:00 am (7:15 am)
· 9:30 am (8:45 am)
· 2:00 pm (1:15 pm)
