"Through no fault of their own..." refers to the fact that their prom was tonight. It had nothing to do with them having a choice to attend or not to attend. The date for the tournament was set almost a year ago. Not sure when Christ Church officials set the date for prom. The same scenario happened a couple years ago to Farragut (TN), and they were given no choice in the matter.

Thank you for your comments.

How can you say that Christ Church, "through no fault of their own", cannot play in the final? The team chose not to so the boys can attend their prom. If that's not their fault, whose fault is it?
