We will do our very best to make sure that there are enough umpires to cover the games; however, I am very short umpires on Saturday. Therefore, coaches please be prepared to provide an umpire for the game immediately following their game if required. Please check with me to see if you are needed. **Reminder** In a festival setting, to show that it is a friendly game, the winner of the toss passes the ball to the other team. Since this is the Friendship Cup and most teams are still trying to get organized, we will continue to incorporate this tradition into the tournament. Any questions OR concerns please feel free to contact me. We look forward to seeing you on the 16th! Cheers, Alanna Martin
