Tentative Schedule of Events

All teams must stay until the end of preliminaries in order to be properly divisioned.  Schedules for Saturday’s games will be given out at the Head Coaches’ Meeting on Friday evening.  Scores will be available on Saturday for those respective sites only at the scoring tents.  Although some information is available, the head coaches are still responsible for determining where their teams are to play next.  In the case of inclement weather, information will not be easily accessible, and it will be important that coaches are prepared to know where their teams should go in advance.  Individual skills athletes will rotate once to all three skills for preliminaries and twice for finals.  All three skills areas will be conducted simultaneously on the eastern side of Austin Field (commonly referred to as “Sheehan Field”).

Please be advised that LDR/LDW is an On-Campus Venue and that part of the course runs around the perimeter of Mendel Field. We ask delegations and spectators to keep clear of the course as we cannot have any obstruction during the race
