Tournament Director speaks out over postponement

After yesterday’s post it was brought to my attention by a fellow OU team mate, Josh Kleymeyer, that the Tournament Director (TD) made a statement about the postponement the Great Lakes Regionals.


On the site he states, “Today was not a fun situation. It turns out I was lied to Friday morning by the field director. Just 40 minutes into round one today the “field specialist” or whatever his title is decided that we needed to shut down ASAP. I could only convince him to let us play one additional round beyond the one that was currently happening. Had I known that an inch of water and no rain for hours would get the fields shut down, the tourney certainly would have been postponed before the weekend.”

With this knowledge, Josh stated that, “it wasn’t really the UPA that messed up, it was the owner of the fields who made the call to shut us down. It was just a shitty [sic] situation and having teams on semesters and quarters doesn’t make things easier.”

After further searching the site, I found that the TD had made another post last night stating that the tournament will be moved to South Bend, IN. No word on wither this will change OU women’s plan to not attend.
