ü  A minimum of three teams must be entered in each division for that division to compete.  Head coaches will be notified by February 18^th if a division does not make.  Refunds will be made only if a division does not make.

ü  The STATE office will determine which divisions will be broken into small and large. The break into small and large in a division will occur when there is more than 8 teams entered in a division and will occur at the natural break (All Stars will be broken according to USASF when there are four or more teams entered).  Therefore: All changes in numbers must be made to State 2008 by February 15, 2008!  NO Changes will be made after the final confirmation letter is sent the week of February 18^th – NO EXCEPTIONS.  We know that injuries and illness are common the week before a competition, however in order to be fair to all teams competing, this rule will not be changed for any reason.

ü  If there are not enough teams to split the division into small and large – the division will compete with all numbers.  Our judges are trained to judge on performance – not size of teams.

ü  State 2008 will give placement trophies to the top three teams (first, second and third place).  In the event of a tie – a trophy will be awarded to each of the teams with the same score.
