       championships to submit their photo and roster on MaxPreps for championship
       program purposes. ***If you do not have your “access code” to your team account,
       MaxPreps will send coaches and Athletic Directors an easy set-up guide with their

team in dark. The home and away team will be determined by a flip of the coin. The team that
travels the farthest will be the team that calls the flip. The semi-final games will be determined
1 hour before the scheduled warm-up time with the State/Regional Coordinators. The coaches
of the teams that advance to the championship will report to the press box area 45 minutes
prior to the scheduled warm-up time for a coin flip. The team that wins the flip, calls their
jersey color which will also determine who will get last change as the home team. Teams will
supply their own their own warm-up puck. Game pucks will be provided.

days.
