Do I need to bring stickers for the Game Sheets?
It's appreciated. We print our game sheets for the Round Robin games before the tournament begins and game sheet stickers are helpful to have because not everyone's handwriting is legible. Your Coach or Manager will need to make any adjustment as needed (i.e. AP's, Injuries, Suspensions) and sign each game sheet. In addition, we will be emailing each team contact a copy of their game sheets after the tournament has concluded. I was able to get them all emailed by the following Tuesday for all teams this year.
