Here is the current status and progress towards getting an updated site and date :

1)  Out of 312 voters in the poll,   48% selected that they were available on Saturday March 10th  including 38  coaches.    The next most available date was Sunday Feb 26th (with 28% ) but there was just no way to make that date happen given that the schools (and districts) were closed for the week.

2)  Unfortunately,  it looks like there is no date that will work for all teams

3)  It has been difficult to separate out individual conflicts versus entire team conflicts and the “scale” of conflict ( a conflict for a few hours versus all day and what percentage of the team does the conflict affect).  We are getting many emails with impassioned pleas on why certain dates just don’t work for them (plus the many comments  added to the earlier post).   We are trying to be as compassionate as possible.

4)  The dates that are NOT being considered are the following:   (as noted earlier)  2/25, 2/26, 3/3, 3/4  PLUS  3/17, and 3/31.   We also will not be considering any date in April.

5)  At this point,  we ARE only considering the following 5 dates:   3/10, 3/11, 3/18 AND we will ADD 3/24 and 3/25.

6)  Shortly,  I will be  emailing each SV coach a direct email (based on their listed jotform email address) asking for them to fill out a surveymonkey form asking about their team’s availability on each of the 5 dates listed above.

7)  Then, on Monday 2/27  morning, we will  pick the date that has the most teams available based on the responses received.

8)  Then, we will work with a couple of school districts to get an acceptable host site – hoping to have  a host site by Tuesday or Wednesday.

We welcome your suggestions and input.
