2014 State Softball Information
The Minot Public Schools, the Minot Recreation Commission and the Minot community are happy to host the NDHSAA-sponsored State Class A & B Softball Tournament. Please review the attached information and deadline requests. It is very important that we receive this information from you by the requested dates to insure a quality program for coaches, athletes and fans at this state event.
We are requesting that ALL softball schools email information to our office (even if you do not believe you will qualify for the state tournament). Because of the variety of school calendars across the state, it is difficult to get information after students/teachers have been released for the summer.
TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE
Tournament games will begin Thursday with the first game at 12:00 noon and the second game 35 minutes after previous game. The 3rd game begins at 4:30 pm with game 4 following 35 minutes afterwards.
In the A Division, the “home team” or nearest team to the tournament site will play the last game of the state tournament’s first round. If there are multiple teams from the tournament site, the highest seed will be the “home team”. The pairings will remain the same, but game times will be adjusted. If inclement weather prevails, the tournament manager shall postpone the tournament as necessary.
