INFORMATION

WELCOME:
The Poway Youth Soccer League is proud to present the 2010 Poway Country Shootout. This our competitive tournament will be held on May 29 & 30, 2010 in Sunny San Diego County.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to Competitive teams age U8-U19 from the USYSA State Associations, CYSA-N and AYSO Teams. Teams traveling outside of CYSA-South must comply with travel procedures. Teams are allowed unlimited loan players but must have appropriate paperwork for any player on their roster.

PAYMENT AND REGISTRATION:
If you wish to APPLY FOR PARTICIPATION in the 2010 Poway Country Shootout, please follow the on-line registration instructions -or- download and print the Application and return the completed application following the instructions printed on the Application itself. The Application must be received by the Tournament Committee on or before May 7, 2010. Applications are not considered complete without payment.

CLASS I & III Competitive Tournament *

U9B (aka U8) - U10~ $525

U11-U19 ~ $575

**Are you a U10 team looking to play 11 v 11. Sign up for U11 and indicate you are last year's 10s and we will bracket you with teams who are looking to do the same.

Acceptances will be e-mailed by end of business, May 7, 2010. Early acceptance for those teams outside CYSA-S may be granted to those requesting this consideration. Remember, registration is not considered complete until payment in full is received.

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 May 8, 2010 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 TOURANMENT 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 June 5 & 6, 2010 have been established and the brackets affected will move, as scheduled, to those dates.
