Tournament staff will attempt to keep opposing fans away from the bench area. If you want that “East section” feel, pick a spot away from the benches and gather early—seating rotates all day. 🧃 Concessions & Hospitality Hospitality room is for school personnel only—not fans or athletes. Concessions will follow Greenwood’s normal event setup (not explicitly listed, but standard for their tournaments). 🏆 Awards Varsity Champion Trophy awarded after the final boys and girls games JV Champion Trophy also awarded This isn’t a bracket—teams play pre-set matchups—but trophies are still on the line for top performers. 🔥 Quick Tips for East Fans Arrive early for parking; it fills quickly at Greenwood events. If you’re following multiple East teams, plan to move between the Main Gym, Aux Gym, and Fieldhouse —they’re separate spaces. Bring cash just in case, though digital tickets are accepted. Expect a full-day grind: Bring a charger, stay hydrated, and settle in! Good luck O's!!!!!!
