Thanks for the reply. Our conference did not begin so early. We play every Thurs. with our regular season ending Oct. 15th then we have our Conference championship on Oct. 22nd. Initially we thought the state would be held first Sat. in Nov. therefore we were under the assumption that we could participate. It's ok.....probably an oversight on our part. No teams from our Conference will be able to participate though. Good luck to everyone. I still support what everyone is doing and this is a great thing for our state. Just going to have to work on scheduling. Wish it wasn't first week in Oct. seems really early to have it.

So you didn't play your first game until August 28th? That's a really late start. The playoffs have started these weeks ever since they started in 2008. it doesn't make sense to wait until November to start middle school playoffs. I could understand pushing back the start date 1 week, since so many conference ended around that time, but if you want to play the conference should adjust. Most all conferences have adjusted. It comes down to whether it's more important to play a conference playoff or state playoff.
