Nancy figured out a rough schedule for McBride for Sunday:
If we end up #1 or #2 in our 4 groups on Saturday, we play at 9:55, 12:20 and 3:25 on Sunday.
If we end up #3 or #4 in our 4 groups on Sat, we play at 10:50,1:35 and 4:20 on sunday
Others might figure guess thier Sunday schedule at the link above.
Here is a field map of Sports Core 2 in Rockford. It is located 3/4 mile East of Rivrside Drive Exit off of I-39/90 in rockford IL.

While many of us will drive home Saturday night some people are also looking for hotels in Rockford but many are sold out already. If you have a hotel suggestion please blog that also. I believe that we want to avoid the hotel we used last time. According to www.orbitz.com The Sweden house 3 stars has a couple rooms for $75 at 4605 E State St, Rockford, IL but I fear that is the hole that we stayed in lst time. The Clock tower Conference center may be fill but the Marriott Residence Inn at 7542 Colosseum Drive, Rockford, IL may have rooms and gets a 4.5 star rating.
