Important Playoff/Championship Reminder

All playoff games/matches will be played VIRTUALLY at 4 PM EST unless labeled IN-PERSON or arranged and agreed upon by both coaches. Matches/games labeled "IN-PERSON" will be held at MHSEL's season-concluding event (the championships). All IN-PERSON matches are required to be played IN-PERSON. Schools/teams may be forced to forfeit their matches if they cannot commit to playing IN-PERSON for the selected date/times. A detailed schedule (match times, etc.) for the IN-PERSON event on December 7 at Michigan State University will be provided before playoffs begin. NOTE: Different venues allow for varying capacity so each championship event is always run a little differently with the amount of game titles and number of playoff rounds/matches we can showcase.
