Bracketology MHSAA style

November 1, 2011

Be sure to check out our tournament brackets for football, soccer and volleyball that we've been updating throughout those MHSAA tournaments.

They're an easy way to keep up with who a team has faced, will play next and when, and also where it might be heading for the next round. 

And anyone can register to give us a hand and update game-by-game results for soccer and volleyball events. Better yet, registering to update scores allows you to do so for any team for an entire season -- which not only will update that team's overall record in the bracket, but give us all a better idea what it has accomplished this fall.

Click here to see every event being played any day, and click "Submit Score" next to an event to update it or "Dispute Score" if we have an incorrect result.

Visit our soccer page to view interactive brackets for every tournament level.
Go to our volleyball page to view the same for this sport.

Be the Referee: Cross Country Uniforms

Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.

Below is this week's segment – Cross Country Uniforms - Listen

Today we’re talking roster sizes and uniforms in cross country.

In the regular season, a school can enter a maximum of 12 competitors, and the top seven contribute to the school’s score. In the postseason, schools can enter a max of seven runners, with the top five contributing to the team score.

In the past, all members of a team had to wear identical uniforms. But that’s no longer the case. Now, each runner must wear a uniform that clearly indicates their team through the use of their predominant school colors, school logo, or nickname. They don’t have to be identical – but the school they are representing must be obvious, and it must be clear who your teammates are.

Something to think about the next time you are getting ready to run 3.1 miles.
