Good Luck to our Howe Lady Lions and Lions in the 89th Annual LeFlore County High School Basketball Tournament. See info below regarding Tournament Guidelines. Brackets are attached. The LeFlore County Basketball Tournament is one of the longest running high school basketball tournaments in the State of Oklahoma, as it dates back to 1932. Generations of LeFlore County athletes have participated in this traditional tournament that includes all thirteen high schools in LeFlore County. This currently includes schools as small as Class B to those as large as Class 4A, which often makes for interesting match-ups and unlikely rivalries. Each year, the high schools of LeFlore County rotate hosting privileges and responsibilities. The 2021 LeFlore County Tournament is the 89th annual event and is coordinated by Whitesboro Public Schools with assistance from the other 12 High Schools in the County! Here's this week's brackets and game guidelines: High School County Tournament Guidelines SITES ✅ Top seed will be the host of the venue or will be responsible for finding a venue. This is regardless of win or loses in the tournament. Live stream required for all hosting venues. ✅ No Hospitality ✅ Disinfecting of the facility including locker rooms, bathrooms, and stands is the host’s responsibility. PPE ✅ Mask to enter, and move ✅ Temperature checks at the door. ✅ Social Distancing required ✅ Host sites with a stronger or weaker policy on PPE will need to adopt a temporary policy to match the tournaments or lose their ability to host. ENTRANCE TO THE FACILITY ✅ 100 tickets/slots per team per game for spectators. ✅ In the event that a venue cannot support 200 tickets/slots, each team will receive one-half of the venue’s half capacity. The 100 tickets/slots are based upon 15 team members, 10 cheerleaders each receiving 4 tickets/slots each. It is up to the local district to distribute the tickets as they see fit. There is the assumption that no player/cheerleader would receive less than two. ✅ Tickets/List does not pay for entry. It only allows entry. All ticket/slot holders must clear venue after every game and must pay to reenter. ✅ Since the venue will be cleared after each game, the gate for all ticket/slot holders (regardless of age) will be lowered to $3.00. 100 tickets/slots do not include administrators, boards, school official, game officials, score keepers, or others necessary for the executing of the games. A list of these attendees will be required from all schools. ✅ ID will be required at the gate for entry and checked against the supplied Google Sheets lists, and/or Team Roster. Coach/Player Roster and a master Google Sheet list of administrators, board members, and ticket/slot holders will be created at the beginning of the week. Changes to the list must be made prior to 3:00 pm on game day and distributed to the host districts. ✅ Teams/Coaches/Mangers/Scorekeepers/et.al. must enter as a team to speed up the entry process. ✅ There is no limit on the number of players/cheerleaders who can suit up (within reason). Additional players will not add to the 100 tickets/slots the local district receives. TOURNAMENT PLAY ✅ Quarantined teams will be a medical forfeit. Notification of quarantine event will be the responsibility of the affected team. Player lists will be required. Each game is a single event. ✅ KTC and or the coordinating school will distribute trophies to site Individual player awards will be streamed, and trophies distributed to the players school for them to pick up.
