Does anyone else have any updates on SC teams at the R3 championships? Just wondering as they do not appear to be posting the scores very quickly.

As of 3pm CST all games for the remainder of the day have been cancelled due to inclement weather...lots of rain, lightning and thunder. Managers will receive word from their state reps concerning what will happen next.

Perhaps scores haven't been posted because everything has revolved around the weather conditions and getting games played...

Thanks for the insight at to why the scores were not posted. Perhaps you are correct, but I was wondering if anyone actually knew any of the scores for the SC teams. Thanks though for the weather update.

Its a shame that all these exceptional teams that have worked hard for years to make Regionals have to deal with such extreme conditions. It will be very difficult for teams to display their true abilities. I know weather cannot be controlled to fit your event, but given that the same thing happened in Texas, maybe that region should be avoided during this time of year, in favor of a more elevated region to be on the safe side of the weather.

What's amazing to me is that it hardly ever rains like this in Texas and Oklahoma. Two years ago, in Dallas, it was extremely hot and dry. I remember burning my backside on the green seats of the opening ceremonies venue...it was a baseball stadium...a very nice baseball stadium with dark green seats that soaked up the Dallas heat.

From some accounts, the weather at the fields has been very volatile...tornado-like conditions. For what it's worth...I'd much rather be stuck in a hotel room then out in that mess...

I understand that this event has been held in Memphis in the past...was a great venue with ample amounts of lodging...centrally located...

The U19 CESA Boys team lost 1-0 to the defending National Champions from Dallas. The game was called 10 minutes early due to lightning.

Matches should be doubled on Sat (except for the few few who played today) and an attempt to be back on schedule Sun. Matches are shortened to 25/min halves (I believe) on Sat.

Weather broke this afternoon—when no one played! But forecast not too good all weekend. . .

U18G Premier CESA fell 1-0 to Dallas Texans Sat morn. CESA was stronger team, especially in first half. They play again at 5 v. Tenn; then v. Greensboro Sun. Two wins and we should go through as second team in bracket. They represented SC well this morning.

I am sorry that your girls lost. Not a bad result against a quality team, although disappointing. Aren't they the defending regional champions?
How were field conditions and weather? Will they be able to continue to play games today?
