[SBU Board] FW: Unit Approval Required

[Susan Cothern]

I have no problem letting EBC have this game if it is on the Friday of one of our sectionals. EBC has held their regular Friday games often when we have a sectional, especially if the game is in Kent/south end. Their Friday games have a start time of 10:00 AM.

This date is the Friday of the preferred weekend for our fall sectional, but we do not yet have confirmation that the IUOE Hall will be available to us that weekend.

Should we consent and be prepared to accept the conflict if necessary?  Would EBC still want to go forward if the Sectional were going forward at the same time?  Should we be prepared to shorten the Sectional to a 2-day event?  Other ideas or questions?
