Anyone know when Crossfire Challenge will post schedules? It is will within 2 weeks from tournament.

Most WA tournaments usually don't have the schedule out until 5-7 days before the start.

Yes...however, this is a major travel tournament. AND the website says 2 weeks prior. Deciding if we can make it with a Friday AM departure or need to come in Thursday night...it is already a long stay with Monday finish. Yes, plan on playing Monday :)

I share your annoyance. For a local tournament that involves taking work off to attend games, it's hard to be understanding of their inability to get it together. Their website says,
"Our goal is to have the schedule published by the end of Friday, July 2."

My recommendation for you is to stay in either Lakewood or White Center. Good luck on the pitch.

That is an update to their website within the last hour!!! Definitely not the 2 weeks they committed prior. Arghhhh

I would be surprised if it is up more than 7 days before the tournament.

Their goal is to delay the entry date as long as possible to allow for as many teams as possible to enter (we all know why). That pushes back on scheduling and such. Not a knock on Crossfire - they all do it. Most have to though - not sure if Crossfire Challenge can't be a little more harsh though.

Wrong, Xfire turns away over 100 teams every year. I have seen very few tournaments have schedules ready two weeks in advance.

100x$975=$97,500......okay. But you are saying more than that. They may be turning some teams away to keep the brackets straight but lets not say 100s.

Xfire was waiting to make sure inslee truly opened up the state 100%. Hosting a tournament this big with all the tight schedules would of been impossible if inslee pulled the plug on moving forward 100%.

100 is only 5 teams per age group (boys/girls) that is a conservative number.

2019 they accepted 641 teams with over 900 team applications.

Wouldn't the tournament still be able to proceed with or without the state fully opening? There been tournaments already.

Is it because of the size of the tournament? the amount of people.

The Point

I 100% agree that most tournaments are the week prior.

However, don't put on your website that schedules will be out 2 weeks prior IF you have no plan on doing that.

"Game schedule
Game schedules will be published 2 weeks prior to the tournament."

As Judge Judy says...don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining.
