Hey, to anyone at UMich, you should go PM me or AlphaTauri about volunteering here. We have a scioly volunteering organization here being made into a real club, and we need members for coaching and for helping run tournaments!

The tentative schedules for states were recently posted on the state website and the state tournament website:

So, anyone out there heading to any Michigan invitationals? I might drop by the awards ceremonies of the Allendale and West Ottawa invitationals as a spectator.

Yeah, I'll be at West Ottawa, TK, and Allendale.

So who's going to be competing there?

Also, why do the Grand Haven schools never go to invites?

Well, I'm not positive what teams are going to be there, but I'm assuming it will have a good turnout being the last invitational and one of two B/C invites in the state.

Generally Grand Haven doesn't go to invites due to the fact that up until last couple years we didn't start practices until after winter break, and still don't until just before break. This makes it kind of pointless to try to go to anything in January (and even February) (I mean, why try to measure yourself up to other teams when you know that you are still short at the moment). Also, since we are lucky enough to have a large number of coaches for both our middle school and high school teams, it's not really a matter of having enough tests. And on top of that it wouldn't be all that easy to coordinate for the middle school teams, as if I am not mistaken Lakeshore has been getting around 50 students signing up and White Pines 90 or so.
