Safety Concerns/Large Screen Projection:

To alleviate genuine concerns about safety issues and so that exit routes remain clear and open we will not permit anyone to stand in those exit routes. We will have tape on the floor indicating the areas that need to remain open, and we will have site managers positioned to see that these areas do remain open. We also cannot permit seating on the floor on the ends of the gym adjacent to the playing area. To accommodate any who may not be able to find room in the gym during a game we will project the games on a large screen in the big room adjacent to the concessions area. This large screen projection will be used for all tournament games at Immanuel. There will be ample room there for seating.

Also, no noisemakers will be allowed for any tournament game.

2010 CAL Tournament T-shirts will be available for $10.00 each

Concessions:

Concessions will be available at Immanuel Lutheran School throughout the tournament's first two days and at East High School all day Saturday. No outside food or drink will be allowed in the buildings. Only athletes will be allowed to bring in their own drink.
