We are as surprised as you are with the recent announcement of the NCAA canceling the CWS in June here in Omaha. We are working very closely with CWS Omaha along with our hotel partners to align ourselves with what their continuity plans look like. At this point our plan is to host both the High School Division and Youth Division tournaments. Respectively, the High School participates as well as the Youth participates will receive an email in the next few days outlining your options.
We appreciate your understanding and patience, next tournament status update will be via email in the next few days.
