Oregon doesn't start pre-season until around Thanksgiving. There are some scrimmages before that. Season starts Dec 1 as a rule, I think. But our association has it's first meeting Oct 30. First meeting, rules clinic, test before the pre-season starts. Makes it easy to get lots of folks to work the scrimmages.

Juulie,

What do you mean when you say "pre-season?" Are those games between different schools that do not count?

Peace

Yea. "non-league" games. I call it pre-season, but I"m not sure that's official.

In Missouri, there is no such thing as pre-season (a MSHSAA school cannot scrimmage another school legally).

During the entire regular season, you can have three types of games, non-conference, conference, and tournament games. All three count equally in the w-l columns. Conference (or league) games count towards that specific conference's standings.

When I think of non-league games, I think of games against of non-conference opponents, but never think of them as pre-season.

Nov 19th is the earliest date this year for all classes Boys and Girls.

Our state tourney begins with district play, the week of Feb 18th for Classes 4,5; the week of Feb 25th for Classes 1,2,3.

I had my first game Friday night. A pre-season game between two teams ranked in the Pre-season Top Ten in the CIS. It was great to be out there. Good teams, great partners, no controversies.

I"ve heard several people that call it pre-season but really that is not a correct lable. Preseason games are games that are played but don't count (NBA preseason, NFL preseason, etc.). The games often called pre-season are really pre-conference or non-league.

Are these officially sanctioned by your state body? How does it work down there?

I've started working some junior high games the last couple of weeks, it's been fun.

My first high school game isn't for another 4 weeks.

That's because Mark spends so much time looking for pictures.

Thank you! I've been lurking for quite some time and finally decided to start posting. I'm really looking forward to contributing to the discussions once the season starts.
