The Great Lakes Regional has come and gone and it was a great event. The top 20 teams from the Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Appalachia Districts came together and quizzed 2 days, (19 rounds! yipes).
Ohio had all four of it's Top-4 go and participate in the meet looking for Nationals Qualification. What they found was a very competitive group. The Great Lakes Region has the honor of being the toughest Region in the country, based on last year's Nationals Results. (Teams from our region placed higher cumulatively than teams from any other region.)
But Ohio did not disappoint and what we ended up with was all 4 of our Top-4 placing high enough to qualify for Nationals with Dayspring (Bowling Green) taking 3rd in the whole tournament! So we say congratulations to Dayspring, Poland, Cincinnati 1st, & Destiny (Dayton) on a great tournament. You have honored the churches and teams of Ohio with your great play and greater examples of sportsmanship and Christ-like attitudes. Click HERE for full Regional Results
As the Holy Spirit leads, if you would remember these teams in prayer and lift them up, that the rest of their expenses and preparation for the National Meet (June 10-12).

A point correction for our B-League totals due to 2 quizzers being swapped on the score sheet has changed our Top-10 for the B-league for the Feb. Meet. This has led to a tie at 3rd place, and the following quizzers moving up one in the standings. This means that we unfortunately did not get to properly recognize Nate Heath, our 10th place quizzer for February's meet. Congratulations Nate!

February Meet
Friday-29th UPDATE: Lunch to purchase at the February Meet will be a choice of pizza (double cheese or pepperoni) or hotdogs. These will both come with chips and a drink for $4. Snacks will also be available.
To help in Painesville's preparation to have enough for everyone who wants it, if you know how many will be eating, please let me know a head-count. If you know a breakdown of pizza v hot dogs that's even better. Just let me know and I'll pass it to Painesville.
When you arrive, you will be able to place orders and pay for lunches in the morning to help move things along smoothly during the lunches.
Our February Meet is fast approaching and as our final sectional meet of the season, brings a few scheduling changes.
1) At the end of the day, we will have awards for both the Feb meet, but also for the overall season in the NE Section which will involve tallying points throughout the day, and will give us about a 60 minute break between the final round and the award presentation.
2) Our schedule for the day will be posted prior to the meet. We will add a few rounds to the day to make up for January's meet as well as lunch breaks and the 2nd break at the end of quizzing.
3) {Change}At 9.10am we will gather all OFFICIALS for Directions/Assignments, but NOT everyone for awards/info, and will hold the November awards till the end of the day to help move through the rest of the day. Someone will be available for questions/directions in the entrance area.
Snow note: Though there is still a chance of snow in northern Ohio in February, it is highly unlikely that we will cancel this meet, as it is our last of the season. If snow becomes a factor, it may be delayed a couple hours to allow roads to clear and the number of rounds shortened, but not cancelled. A determination would be made Thursday night or Friday morning before.
Finally, thanks to Painesville Assembly, Pastor Carrie and Heather Jarrell and to everyone for hosting. For directions, you can click here for the Painesville direction page or here, for Google maps with their address plugged in.

January Meet Canceled
It's a bit ahead of the planned announcement schedule, and a bummer in a lot of ways, but all the signs from the weather guessers are quite confidently pointing to the majority of snowfall Friday will coming after sunset with some of the heaviest amounts will falling in the center of our section, meaning that even if snowfall and roads are decent where you start, they are sure to get nasty as you travel to the meet in Lowellville.
Had the snowfall been tracking more to daylight hours today we could have watched and waited a bit longer, but rather than have everyone waiting through the night and wondering, best to get it decided on now.
Thank you coaches, parents and pastors for your feedback, ideas and patience in this decision. The value of the meet is great, but the safety of all our families is greater. I look forward to a rocking February meet and we'll see if we can spice some things up then to help make up for missing this month.
Blessings!
