2008 Season Age Groups

Acceptances will be e-mailed by end of business, October 30. Early acceptance for those teams outside CYSA-S may be granted to those requesting this consideration.

We may accept late applications, subject to availability. Teams not accepted will receive a full refund. Withdrawals, for any reason, prior to deadline will be subject to a $125.00 processing fee. Teams withdrawing after October 30, 2008 will forfeit the entire fee. This policy is enforced because there are those few teams that withdraw without just cause before, during and after the schedules are posted. The 1% of applicants withdrawing, this way, cause the responsible 99% scheduled tremendous grief due to multiple schedule changes.

*ANY TEAM THAT SIGNS UP FOR THE WRONG AGE GROUP WILL NOT BE GUARNTEED A SPOT IN THE TOURNMENT UNLESS THERE IS ROOM IN THE APPROPRIATE AGE GROUP. IF THERE IS NO ROOM IN THE PROPER AGE GROUP THE TEAM WILL NOT BE REFUNDED UNLESS THE TOURNAMENT FILLS THEIR SPOT IN THE TOURNAMENT.

The Tournament Director reserves the right to amend brackets in the event a team pulls out at the last minute or is a no show. Director will insure the remaining teams are provided with the best possible tournament competition play for the good of the game.

ACTS OF GOD:
Rain or other weather conditions during the tournament shall not delay play unless the referee determines the field to be unsafe for play.
In the event games have been played, the refund policy will be as follows:

One match played = 80% refund less $50.00 administrative fee.
Two matches played = 60% refund less $75.00 administrative fee.
Three matches played (as guaranteed) = 0% refund.

Note: All refunds will be processed the week following the tournament. If, due to rain, fields are closed prior to the start of play, rain dates of December 6 & 7th have been established and the brackets affected will move, as scheduled, to those dates. Any team who opts to not participate will be refunded their registration fee, less the $125 processing fee.
