Schedule Commitment

The MIAA has approved a new Schedule Commitment process and deadline structure beginning with the 2024-2025 school year.

Three days before the Schedule Commitment deadline, MIAA staff will produce and publish schedules for each sport based on the available data (as entered into Arbiter) for review and verification by member schools. Below is the breakdown for 2024-25 school year:

FALL 2024

• First contest date: Sunday, September 1 (Friday, August 25 for Fall Golf)
• Schedule data published for review: Tuesday, September 10
• Schedule Commitment deadline: Friday, September 13

WINTER 2024-2025

• First contest date: Thursday, December 12
• Schedule data published for review: Tuesday, December 17
• Schedule Commitment deadline: Friday, December 20

SPRING 2025

• First contest date: Thursday, March 27 (Monday, March 24 for Spring Golf)
• Schedule data published for review: Tuesday, April 1
• Schedule Commitment deadline: Friday, April 4

Important Reminders

Please be sure to check the MIAA Sport Limitations Information Sheet for the maximum number of competitions allowed per week and per season in each sport.

In advance of the Schedule Commitment deadline, schools should review each sport's schedule and make any necessary corrections in Arbiter for the following:

• All MIAA opponents are valid using the correct school entry
• Any scrimmages should be indicated as such, by selecting “Scrimmage” in the Game Type drop-down box in Arbiter … mislabeling of scrimmages will cause errors on the total number of games on your committed schedules
• Placeholder games must be entered for any in-season tournaments (including CMADA, PVIAC and approved league tournaments), even if the opponent has not been determined (enter TBA for the opponent)
• The “Cross Level” box should not be checked for any varsity game in Arbiter … only varsity vs. varsity match-ups are allowed
