Note from Jim Bathgate - Just a confirmation that East Rochester WILL NOT be having a Boy's, Girls or Modified team this season....so I don't suppose I'll be hosting those two meets. Many of you have already offered me your support and it is greatly appreciated. I have very much enjoyed the camaraderie of all the WFL coaches and athletes.I am hopeful that ER will make a return in the future, but for now I wish you and your teams the best for the 2019 season! Send as many WFL kids to NYSPHSAA as possible...I'll be watching. Cary On and have fun!

11/15/2018 Update

Information from the NYSPHSAA Handbook:

10. MULTI-SCHOOL CONTESTS/ TOURNAMENT COMPETITION/CHAMPIONSHIP/ FINALS AND AWARDS: Tournament competition is not permitted in the modified program. No sectional team or individual championships are to be conducted. With sectional/league approval in multi-school contest and invitational, may award place ribbons to the top competitors. Championship playoffs on a team or individual basis are prohibited. Sections, leagues, devices or groupings should not host an end-of-season finale multi- school contest that can be construed as a jamboree, carnival, or invitational tournament. Multiple school contests can be conducted at the end of the season only if it is in a sport in which multiple team contests are regularly scheduled throughout the season and the final contest mirrors that of the rest of the schedule, thus the contest is not larger than all the others. This may be true for individual dual sports (i.e. squad meets for Wrestling, cross country or track). Team sport multiple school contests prior to the end of the season are permitted provided: a. No participant shall compete in more events, matches or games than permitted in any other regularly scheduled contest in that sport, on that day. b. All handbook rules are applicable. Coaches and directors are encouraged to design ideas that follow the spirit of, and guidelines for, modified athletics.
