SAT's

Due to the number of teams participating annually in the WAGS Tournament, we WILL NOT consider any scheduling requests due to Scholastic Aptitude Tests being held during the tournament weekend.  We encourage your players to take advantage of the Spring testing date.  Any accepted team that does not field the minimum number of players or forfeits their game will be suspended from play for the remainder of the tournament and will not be granted acceptance for entry in the future.
