LOCATION

All matches are played at the Denver Convention Center at 700 14th Street in Denver, CO

NO COOLERS ALLOWED

NO COOLERS of any kind, of any size, or for any reason are permitted in the Denver Convention Complex. Coolers left inside the building will be removed to the outside of the building. Coolers left outside the building are the sole responsibility of the owner, but may be confiscated if security deems them a hazard. Neither Front Range or the facility will assume any responsibility for coolers or providing a place for them.

No outside food can be brought into the Convention Center building, not even into the lobby. This is a Convention Center rule that we must enforce as a condition of our contract; it is not our rule. We understand people don't like this, and neither do we. But we are bound by the terms of the contract and cannot negotiate this away. We apologize for any inconvenience it causes.

NO LARGE BAGS, BALLOONS, CHAIRS OR OUTSIDE FOOD ALLOWED

In this post 9/11 world, major facilities reserve the right to restrict any items being brought into the building that they consider to be a problem. We DO provide seating for spectators at each court.

Teams will be penalized if supporters hassle the security staff about these rules. Please abide by the rules and let the tournament be enjoyable for everyone.

ATHLETIC TRAINERS

Global Event Medicine® provides medical coverage for Crossroads, with both medical doctors and athletic trainers on duty during the hours the tournament operates.  They are located under the big red tent near the Tournament Desk.

The tournaments run in waves. The morning wave begins at 8 am; the afternoon wave begins at 3:00 pm. We will post exact starting times for age groups 48-72 hours before the start of competition. All teams should be prepared to play at 8 am on Day 1 of their weekend.

Final matches on most courts are scheduled for 2:00 pm. BE AWARE, however, that many courts run late on the 3rd Day, and there are severe penalties if you forfeit a match in a Gold Medal round of a Qualifier. (See the Qualifier Manual for particulars.)

Playing times for 2nd and 3rd days will depend on how the team finishes the day before. DO NOT assume you play in the same wave on the second day as you did on first.
