Schedule Changes
The CIAC fall tournaments in volleyball and swimming were originally scheduled to begin Monday, November 7, however maintaining this schedule would require that many student-athletes enter tournament competition after numerous days without practice or game play. After a thorough review of the calendar, discussion with tournament directors and communication with potential host sites, the CIAC has developed a revised schedule for tournaments.
"We are aware that many schools will not reopen until next week and that interscholastic athletic programs across the state have been seriously disrupted," CIAC Executive Director Dr. Karissa Niehoff said. "As it became obvious that the delays and impact from the storm were going to be longer than and more widespread than originally anticipated we determined that delaying the start of the state tournaments was the appropriate course of action to take."
According to the revised schedule, the last day to count for the regular season will be Tuesday, November 8; tournament competition will begin on Thursday, November 10. CIAC organizers intentionally did not schedule tournament play for the three school days prior to Thanksgiving in consideration of the many events that occur in schools during that abbreviated week, to allow for rescheduling of semi-final matches if there is inclement weather and because school fields are being used by football teams preparing for Thanksgiving Day games.
