I know this is the update forum, but could you explain this, because it is confusing to me.

Dordt is a Christian School. Maybe they don't play on sundays?

[Troy Hood]

That is correct.

[Zamboni_Driver]

That makes sense, and I have to say, I commend the GRLC for being respectful of Dordt's players beliefs.

But I wonder why your tournament is not held Thursday, Friday, Saturday? I know that both teams in the finals (if Dordt is in the finals) will play two games in a day, so both teams are on equal footing, but two games in a day could be a health issue. I assume that the chance of injury and serious injury must go up as players are tired, but i have no scientific proof. And maybe a medical person on the board might be able to comment on risks of dehydration and exhaustion?

One other question, what happens if you get the first game in and there is a thunder/lightening storm that delays the championship game? When do you play that game? (Sorry for the questions - I'm always interested in policies, and I'm still learning the layout of the league)

Don't have an answer for the above questions, but I can tell you that for this tournament anyway it will not matter. Both Championship games are being held tomorrow.
