Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	To achieve its investment objective, the Fund intends to invest in companies with micro- and small-size market capitalizations ("micro-cap" and "small-cap" companies). The Fund currently defines micro-cap companies as companies with market capitalizations between $30 million and $500 million and small-cap companies as companies with market capitalizations between $500 million and $3 billion. Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, will be invested in common stocks and other equity securities of micro-cap and small-cap companies. In addition to common stocks, equity securities may also include preferred stocks, convertible debt securities, derivative securities, swaps and synthetic instruments, and other investment companies and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") that invest in equity securities of micro-cap and small-cap companies. The Fund may also sell shares of equity securities or ETFs short for hedging purposes. The Adviser uses disciplined, fundamental, bottom-up research to select investments for the Fund's portfolio from the universe of small-cap and micro-cap companies. The Adviser seeks to identify companies that trade at significant discounts to what the Adviser believes to be their intrinsic value, and that possess a material catalyst that may trigger a long-term, sustainable growth in value. In addition to favorable valuations at the time of purchase, companies in which the Fund will invest will have strong balance sheets with liquidity and solvency characteristics that provide a margin of safety. The Fund invests in companies with increasing intrinsic values, which allow the Fund's holdings to grow and build value over long periods of time.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	Principal Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	Before investing in the Fund, you should carefully consider your own investment goals, the amount of time you are willing to leave your money invested, and the amount of risk you are willing to take. Remember, in addition to possibly not achieving your investment goals, you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are: ·  Management Risk. The risk that investment strategies employed by the Adviser      in selecting investments and asset allocations for the Fund may not result in    an increase in the value of your investment or in overall performance equal to    other investments. ·  General Market Risk. The risk that certain securities selected for the Fund's    portfolio may be worth less than the price originally paid for them, or less      than they were worth at an earlier time.      ·  Equity Market Risk. Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market         fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market           confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. Preferred stock is         subject to the risk that the dividend on the stock may be changed or omitted      by the issuer, and that participation in the growth of an issuer may be           limited.                                                                       ·  Small- and Micro-Cap Company Risk. The risk that the securities of small-cap      and micro-cap companies may be more volatile and less liquid than the securities    of companies with larger market capitalizations. These small- and micro-cap    companies may not have the management experience, financial resources, product    diversification and competitive strengths of large- or mid-cap companies and,    therefore, their securities tend to be more volatile than the securities of    larger, more established companies.                     ·  Value Stock Risk. Value stocks may perform differently from the market as a       whole and may continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of        time.                                                  ·  Convertible Securities Risk. A convertible security is a fixed-income security    (a debt instrument or a preferred stock) which may be converted at a stated       price within a specified period of time into a certain quantity of the common    stock of the same or a different issuer. The market value of a convertible        security performs like that of a regular debt security, that is, if market        interest rates rise, the value of the convertible security falls.              ·  Shares of Other Investment Companies Risk. The risk that you will indirectly      bear fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in addition to the         Fund's direct fees and expenses and, as a result, your cost of investing in       the Fund will generally be higher than the cost of investing directly in the      underlying fund shares.                                                        ·  Exchange-Traded Fund Risk. Unlike mutual funds, ETFs do not necessarily trade    at the net asset values of their underlying securities, which means an ETF        could potentially trade above or below the value of its underlying portfolio    Additionally, because ETFs trade like stocks on exchanges, they are subject    to trading and commission costs, unlike open-end investment companies. ·  Derivative Securities Risk. The risk that the Fund's use of derivatives will      cause losses due to the unexpected effect of market movements on a                derivative's price, or because the derivatives do not perform as anticipated,    or are not correlated with the performance of other investments which they are    used to hedge or if the Fund is unable to liquidate a position because of an      illiquid secondary market.                                                     ·  Swap Agreement Risk. Swap agreements may not be assigned without the consent      of the counter-party, and may experience losses in the event of a default or      bankruptcy of the counter-party.                                               ·  Synthetic Instruments Risk. Fluctuations in the values of synthetic               instruments may not correlate perfectly with the overall securities markets.   ·  Short Sale Risk. Short selling of securities may result in the Fund's             investment performance suffering if it is required to close out a short           position earlier than it had intended.

In certain cases, the figure representing "Return After Taxes and Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares" may be higher than the other return figures for the same period. A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an annual tax deduction that benefits the investor.

The operating expense limitation agreement can be terminated only by, or with the consent of, the Board of Trustees.

Morgan Dempsey Small/Micro Cap Value Fund

Investment Objective

The investment objective of the Morgan Dempsey Small/Micro Cap Value Fund
(the "Fund") is long-term capital appreciation.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and
hold shares of the Fund.

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

Shareholder Fees	Morgan Dempsey Small/Micro Cap Value Fund
Redemption Fee (as a percentage of proceeds on shares redeemed within 90 days of purchase)	2.00%

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses		Morgan Dempsey Small/Micro Cap Value Fund
Management Fees		1.10%
Other Expenses		6.66%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses	[1]	7.76%
Fee Waiver/Expense Reimbursement	[2]	(6.46%)
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement	[2]	1.30%

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the Fund
with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you
invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all
of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your
investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses
remain the same. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement arrangement discussed
in the table above is reflected only through December 31, 2013.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Expense Example (USD $)	Expense Example, with Redemption, 1 Year	Expense Example, with Redemption, 3 Years	Expense Example, with Redemption, 5 Years	Expense Example, with Redemption, 10 Years
Morgan Dempsey Small/Micro Cap Value Fund	132	1,500	3,013	6,445

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate
may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's
performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover
rate was 11.76% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

To achieve its investment objective, the Fund intends to invest in companies
with micro- and small-size market capitalizations ("micro-cap" and "small-cap"
companies). The Fund currently defines micro-cap companies as companies with
market capitalizations between $30 million and $500 million and small-cap
companies as companies with market capitalizations between $500 million and $3
billion. Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets,
plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, will be invested in
common stocks and other equity securities of micro-cap and small-cap companies.
In addition to common stocks, equity securities may also include preferred
stocks, convertible debt securities, derivative securities, swaps and synthetic
instruments, and other investment companies and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs")
that invest in equity securities of micro-cap and small-cap companies. The Fund
may also sell shares of equity securities or ETFs short for hedging purposes.

The Adviser uses disciplined, fundamental, bottom-up research to select
investments for the Fund's portfolio from the universe of small-cap and
micro-cap companies. The Adviser seeks to identify companies that trade at
significant discounts to what the Adviser believes to be their intrinsic value,
and that possess a material catalyst that may trigger a long-term, sustainable
growth in value. In addition to favorable valuations at the time of purchase,
companies in which the Fund will invest will have strong balance sheets with
liquidity and solvency characteristics that provide a margin of safety. The
Fund invests in companies with increasing intrinsic values, which allow the
Fund's holdings to grow and build value over long periods of time.

Principal Risks

Before investing in the Fund, you should carefully consider your own investment
goals, the amount of time you are willing to leave your money invested, and the
amount of risk you are willing to take. Remember, in addition to possibly not
achieving your investment goals, you could lose money by investing in the
Fund. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:

·  Management Risk. The risk that investment strategies employed by the Adviser  
   in selecting investments and asset allocations for the Fund may not result in
   an increase in the value of your investment or in overall performance equal to
   other investments.

·  General Market Risk. The risk that certain securities selected for the Fund's
   portfolio may be worth less than the price originally paid for them, or less  
   than they were worth at an earlier time.     

·  Equity Market Risk. Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market     
   fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market       
   confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. Preferred stock is     
   subject to the risk that the dividend on the stock may be changed or omitted  
   by the issuer, and that participation in the growth of an issuer may be       
   limited.                                                                      

·  Small- and Micro-Cap Company Risk. The risk that the securities of small-cap  
   and micro-cap companies may be more volatile and less liquid than the securities
   of companies with larger market capitalizations. These small- and micro-cap
   companies may not have the management experience, financial resources, product
   diversification and competitive strengths of large- or mid-cap companies and,
   therefore, their securities tend to be more volatile than the securities of
   larger, more established companies.                    

·  Value Stock Risk. Value stocks may perform differently from the market as a   
   whole and may continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of    
   time.                                                 

·  Convertible Securities Risk. A convertible security is a fixed-income security
   (a debt instrument or a preferred stock) which may be converted at a stated   
   price within a specified period of time into a certain quantity of the common
   stock of the same or a different issuer. The market value of a convertible    
   security performs like that of a regular debt security, that is, if market    
   interest rates rise, the value of the convertible security falls.             

·  Shares of Other Investment Companies Risk. The risk that you will indirectly  
   bear fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in addition to the     
   Fund's direct fees and expenses and, as a result, your cost of investing in   
   the Fund will generally be higher than the cost of investing directly in the  
   underlying fund shares.                                                       

·  Exchange-Traded Fund Risk. Unlike mutual funds, ETFs do not necessarily trade
   at the net asset values of their underlying securities, which means an ETF    
   could potentially trade above or below the value of its underlying portfolio
   Additionally, because ETFs trade like stocks on exchanges, they are subject
   to trading and commission costs, unlike open-end investment companies.

·  Derivative Securities Risk. The risk that the Fund's use of derivatives will  
   cause losses due to the unexpected effect of market movements on a            
   derivative's price, or because the derivatives do not perform as anticipated,
   or are not correlated with the performance of other investments which they are
   used to hedge or if the Fund is unable to liquidate a position because of an  
   illiquid secondary market.                                                    

·  Swap Agreement Risk. Swap agreements may not be assigned without the consent  
   of the counter-party, and may experience losses in the event of a default or  
   bankruptcy of the counter-party.                                              

·  Synthetic Instruments Risk. Fluctuations in the values of synthetic           
   instruments may not correlate perfectly with the overall securities markets.  

·  Short Sale Risk. Short selling of securities may result in the Fund's         
   investment performance suffering if it is required to close out a short       
   position earlier than it had intended.

After-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from
those shown. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest
individual federal marginal income tax rates in effect and do not reflect the
effect of state and local taxes. The after-tax returns shown are not relevant
to those investors who hold their shares through tax-deferred arrangements such
as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts ("IRAs"). In certain cases,
the figure representing "Return After Taxes and Distributions and Sale of Fund
Shares" may be higher than the other return figures for the same period. A
higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and
provides an annual tax deduction that benefits the investor.

[1] Please note that the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses in the table above do not correlate to the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets found within the "Financial Highlights" section of this prospectus, which reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses which are less than 0.01% of the Fund's average net assets.

[2] Pursuant to an operating expense limitation agreement between the Fund's investment adviser, Morgan Dempsey Capital Management, LLC (the "Adviser"), and the Fund, the Adviser has agreed to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads, taxes, leverage, interest, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, dividends or interest expenses on short positions, acquired fund fees and expenses or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) do not exceed 1.30% of the Fund's average annual net assets, through December 31, 2013, subject to annual re-approval by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board of Trustees"). The operating expense limitation agreement can be terminated only by, or with the consent of, the Board of Trustees. The Adviser is permitted to be reimbursed for management fee reductions and/or expense payments made in the prior three fiscal years, subject to the applicable limitation on the Fund's expenses.
