INFORMATION

WELCOME:
The Poway Youth Soccer League is proud to present the 13th Annual Poway Country Shootout. The Competitive Only version of our tournament will be held on May 23 & 24, 2009 in Sunny San Diego County. This year we are proud to have secured the Francis Ryan Soccer Park in Escondido with 7 fields at one location.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to Competitive teams age U8-U18 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.

PAYMENT AND REGISTRATION:
If you wish to APPLY FOR PARTICIPATION in the Poway Country Shootout 2009, 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 2, 2009. Please Note: U14-U18 Acceptance Notices will be Sent May 9, 2009.

Class I & III Tournament

U11-U18 ~ $550

2008 Season Age Groups**

**Special U11-Green Bracket for

last year's U10 teams who

want to play 11 v 11 format.

A U9B Green bracket has been

established for new incoming

under 8 teams who are ready

to get their feet wet in the

competitive arena.

Acceptances will be e-mailed by end of business, May 2, 2009. Please Note: U14-U18 Acceptance Notices will be Sent May 9, 2009. 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 May 2nd 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 May 30 & 31, 2009 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.
