Frequently Asked Questions

Select a topic category or scroll down to the page to find your question.


Application
The application form does not look right on my screen (overlapping drop down boxes, long rows over the input fields, etc.) What is going on?
First, you should let the ENTIRE form load BEFORE you scroll. It is a big form.

In short, your computer does not have enough memory (RAM) available to render the form correctly. Here is the solution that will work in most cases:

1. Clear the cache (temporary files) in Internet Explorer (Usually Tools>Internet Options>Remove Temporary files
2. Shut down Internet Explorer
3. Restart the computer
4. Open JUST Internet Explorer.
5. Go to Web site, fill out form.

In most cases, this will solve the problem....

General
Can I bring my pet to the fields? I am just going to have him on a leash and sit by me.
I am sorry but we are under the jurisdiction of the parks, and their rule is "NO ANIMALS ALLOWED AT FIELDS".

Please be aware of this. If pets are brought to the fields we must ask that they be taken elsewhere.
Does every team have to register Friday evening?
Yes. We do require that teams register on Friday night. We simply do not have the staff and/or time to register teams on Saturday morning. Please keep in mind that only ONE person must attend registration.
Do U9 and U10 play 6v6?
Yes. U9-U10 play 6V6. U11 and U12 play 8v8 this year. All others play 11v11.
What is the policy for making schedule changes?
Once the schedule is released, it will change only if one of three circumstances occurs AND with the approval of Tournament Director, Referee Assignor and Director of Scheduling:
  1. The facility/hours change. This would only occur due to inclement weather.

  2. A team withdraws. This alone may NOT mean we will have a schedule change.

  3. An extraordinary unforeseen circumstance requires a team to request a change. These circumstances do not include preferences about coaches, opponents or game times.
    How much does the tournament cost?
    The fees are posted on the front page, in the Facts At A Glance, to the left of the photo. Also posted there are the dates, location, deadline, etc.

    My club has the same coach for more than one team. Can you schedule those teams so that they don't play at the same time?
    We make every effort to accommodate requests like this IF they are noted on the Team Application (prior to scheduling). However, even with our best efforts, teams are responnsible for making alternate coaching provisions in the event this request can not be honored.
    What is your refund policy?
    Teams must drop out in writing or by e-mail on or prior to Acceptance to receive a full refund. Application deadline is October 1. Teams that withdraw after acceptence will forfeit their entire application fee.
