General Playoff Guidelines
- Each team must contact the representative of the other team to finalize their own plans for the quarterfinal match. Match secretaries, coaches, and officer emails, phone numbers and team social media addresses are all located on the conference website.
- Home teams are responsible for procuring a referee for the match.
- Report your scores to Rachel Appleby within 24 hours of completion. This procedure applies for all conference matches in the future, (and any matches for that matter) so we can keep the website updated, and keep the playoff race up to date.
The address is [email protected] - Any problems or protests must be reported immediately.
Game day procedures:
Please bring a printed out copy of your CIPP roster with you to the match so that the other team and the referee can check school ID’s and CIPP registration. Please make sure that each player has their school ID, and their CIPP up to date. Any violation may result in forfeit of the match.
Each team will be responsible for presenting the CIPP roster to the game day referee or the opposing team.
