General Announcement

Intramural Cornhole starts TODAY!!

 

Today's games are just a warm-up or friendly to get your skills fine-tuned and ready for competition.  Find your team # on the list and then look at the schedule for your game time and board assignment.  

 

Much effort goes into planning these intramural events.  We ask each of you for your cooperation in making this cornhole tournament run smoothly and without incident.   Please note these items: 

• Please arrive at your board at least 2 minutes early!
• Know the rules and playing procedures.
• Both teams are responsible for tracking the score using cancelation scoring.
• If your teammate is absent, please find a substitute that is not already on another team.
• If both players are absent, that will result in a forfeit.
• No horse play will be tolerated.
• At the end of your game, please report the winner to Mrs. Becker or her assistant.
• While tennis shoes are not required for this event, please remove any boots or hard-soled shoes while in the gym.
• All food and drink should be kept in the cafeteria.

Thank you in advance for being respectful and responsible individuals!
