Welcome Letters

To: Sectional Chairmen & Teams Participating in NYSPHSAA Baseball Championships
From: Al Roy – NYSPHSAA Baseball Coordinator
Date: Spring 2019

Congratulations on your SECTIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP and good luck advancing towards the NYSPHSAA
Final Four in Binghamton, New York.

Here are some important informational items and responsibilities that you need to be aware of:
Communicate with your Section Coordinator. He has provided you with this guide from our NYSPHSAA
Tournament co-directors Tim Harkness and Matt Ferraro. Please review all information in this packet
carefully and follow all instructions.

    1. Your team roster and picture should have already been forwarded to MaxPreps, if you have not
       already done so, PLEASE SUBMIT A ROSTER AND PHOTO NOW!
    2. As soon as your team becomes a Regional Champion (or by 6/10/19, whichever comes first),
       please call NYSPHSAA Tournament co-director Tim Harkness at 607-725-3220 to confirm your
       place in the NYSPHSAA Tournament Final Four. He will review basic information about this
       guide.
    3. Please be punctual and adhere to all BP and pregame schedules. Please be aware that in the
       event of inclement weather the day before the tournament, BP sites may not be available as all
       efforts will be in preparing the game sites.
    4. A schedule listing the game times and playing sites for the NYSPHSAA semifinals and finals are
       included in this packet. These matchups, times, and game sites are determined by the
       NYSPHSAA Baseball Committee prior to the tournament and will not be changed unless
       inclement weather forces the committee to make other arrangements. All participant schools
       will be notified at the appropriate time of a change in the schedule due to weather.
    5. The Section Coordinator is asked to bring with him the monies/vouchers to pay any bills that are
       the responsibility of the Section. Please discuss with your Section Coordinator your Section’s
       policies and procedures regarding financial responsibilities. NYSPHSAA does not pay for travel
       or lodging.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact Al Roy at 518-321-4557 or
alroy27.18@gmail.com, or Tim Harkness at 607-725-3220.

Once again, congratulations on a great season and good luck in the NYSPHSAA Final Four!
