• Until about 3pm, Teams will play either 3 or 4 best 2 out of 3, 15 point game matches during this time period.
• At about 3pm, the playoffs between the top 4 teams will begin with the first place team playing the fourth place team and the second place team playing the third place team. Other teams will play consolation matches against a team that is adjacent to them in the standings with the match determining which team will finish ahead in the standings. Playoff and consolation matches will be best 2 out of 3 (15 point game), or 1 game matches to 25 points, or one game to 15 points, depending upon whether the tournament is running ontime.
• At about 5pm, the winners of the playoff matches between the top four teams will play championship matches.
• At about 5:45pm, there will be an awards ceremony. At the ceremony the first through third place teams in each division will get plaques and the members of the all-tournament teams in the A divsions (as voted by the A division coaches) will receive certificates.
• After the tournament, each team will be mailed certificates for each member, suitable for being included in a homeschool portfolio. The certificate will state the player's name and team and the placement of his or her team in the final standings.

Note: We have almost unlimited space at our Eastern PA tournament (up to 12 nets), but limited space at our Central PA (7 nets) and Western PA (4 nets) tournaments. As a result, we have the following special rule: Any teams that wish can participate in all three PA Homeschoolers spring tournaments or in just one tournament, but if a team just wants to participate in two tournaments, one of those two will have to be PA Homeschoolers Eastern PA Tournament (the April 4 2011 tournament). In other words, you can't participate in both the Western and Central tournaments unless you also participate in the Eastern PA tournament.
