For your convenor , TDCAA Web Site & Peter Morris , you need to send the following information accurately
1)

4)
5)
Date & Location of the Game
Girls or Boys
Junior or Senior
Home Team & Score
Visiting Team & Score
You have until Noon the day following the game to report the scores to the three groups listed above. Peter will
always acknowledge receipt of the email.
Penalty - $ 20 fine will be assessed both teams if the score is not reported.
Your convenor may have other information that they will require eg ejections
For the media , they will have an 8:00 PM or earlier deadline. I would strongly suggest that you call the media
immediately after the game with the results. Someone should have a cell phone available.
In addition to the above information , the Toronto Star & Toronto Sun will also require the top scorer ( first and
last name) and the number of goals/ points from each team. If you are the visiting team and do not have a copy of
the game sheet, please find the name of the top scorer from the opposing team and the number of goals/points.
The Toronto Star, justifiably, will not publish results that come in after 8:00 and are not complete.
It is very important that we attempt to promote high school sport through the media. We can accomplish this by
taking the time to report results clearly and accurately to the media immediately after the game.
