COVID-19 IMPACT / PLANNING

Midwest Conference of course is very aware of the fluid situation we have in regards to COVID-19. At this time MWC are working on their plans to have a full fall season bracketed and scheduled the same as in the past. The in person scheduling meeting have been a great success over the past few years and allow them to carry out several important meetings with our club leadership during those meetings. MWC is sensitive to the fact that these meetings will not be an option in mid July, so while they list the meetings on the calendar, there will be an asterisk next to these to have an online scheduling option. Full details on this process will be sent out to all teams in the coming weeks.
