19th Annual
Spring Smackdown
Mar 7-8, 2026

Any behavior deemed unsportsmanlike, whether it is directed at someone, simply said aloud, or executed in some other demonstrative way, will result in that person being asked to leave. The simple explanation of the expectation is this, “If you don’t have something nice to say, just keep your mouth shut.” Coaches, keep your cool.  Things don’t always go your way.  Sometimes they go wrong in your favor, and other times they don’t.  Water off a duck’s back.  Do what we tell our players; move on to the next point.

  • Onsite Check-In Saturday AM or PM
    • Head Coach – At least 30 minutes prior to team’s first match, visit the tournament desk to collect a packet with bag tags and one coaching credential.  Only COACHES WITH CREDENTIALS AND ON THE ROSTER ARE ALLOWED ON THE BENCH.
    • Assistant coaches on the AES roster wishing to receive a credential MUST check-in with tournament staff to verify the coach is on the roster.

    • Go to AES, Pool Sheet, and See “No Future Matches” and “No Future Work Assignment” to confirm.
    • Prior to leaving after BRACKET, check out at the tournament desk to confirm no further matches or officiating is scheduled. Possibility exists that a team might receive a double consolation match at a two day event.
  • Hospitality – upstairs at the Sportsplex – near Court 17 at Union
    • Rostered coaches with credentials who are coaching and officials who are officiating.  Please do not invite players, friends, or children to eat in hospitality. Hospitality upstairs IS FOR COACHES WHO ARE COACHING and refs who are officiating.

  • Match Protocol

    • FOR BRACKET, ALWAYS CLICK “POOL SHEET” FOR YOUR TEAM TO SEE FUTURE WORK AND OFFICIATING ASSIGNMENTS. DO NOT JUST LOOK AT THE BRACKET BECAUSE YOU MIGHT BE OFFICIATING ANOTHER BRACKET BEFORE YOUR MATCH, OR YOU MIGHT BE OFFICIATING AS A WINNER IN THE BRACKET.
