Number of Games
Q: How many games will we get to play?

A:  All teams are guaranteed 5 games, unless you are in the Covanta Cup
Flight for the High School Divisions.

 

 

Price
Q: How much is the tournament application fee?

A: The 2010 tournament fees were: U8 and U9 $525; U10 and U11 $625;
U12 and above $725.

 

 

Deadline
Q. What is the deadline?

A: The deadline, is July 16th.  It is highly recommended that
teams apply as soon as possible because each year teams have to be turned
away.

 

 

Q: I can't remember our team's record for the last two tournaments we entered. Can we submit an application without that?

A: Yes. The seasonal record and tournament record, though, help us
make sure we place your team with peers at the same level of competition.

 

 

 

Q: My spring U-12 team will be U-13 in the fall.  What age group are we for registration purposes?

A:  As of August 1, 2010, all teams move up one age group.  So the U12
Spring 2009 team will become U13 and should register for the U13 age group.

 

 

Q: OK, so it's D-Day for tournament registrations. Are registrations closed?

A: Please feel free to submit your team's application. Late registrations
cannot be guaranteed a spot in the tournament. If your team's age
group is filled, for example, your team's application fee will be returned.
Once your team is accepted, no refunds will be provided. We will place
late registrations on a waiting list. It is very possible that your team can
still get in if we need to even out divisions, but again this is not guaranteed. 
We will guarantee placement only if you register before July 15 and
provided we can place your team in a competitive bracket.

 

 

Q: My team's coach will be coaching another team in the tournament. Will you
make sure he can be at both team's games?

A: Due to the complexity of scheduling 400 teams we cannot guarantee 
that we can accommodate your request. 
However, we will do our very best to accommodate a coach who's coaching a
two teams.

 

 

Medical Release Forms
Q: Do medical release forms have to be notarized?

A: NO. ENYSSA does not require this. However it is a good idea to have
them notarized. If your team's forms are notarized already, that's fine.
They don't have to be redone.

 

 

Q: Can I use last year's medical release form?

A: If the information is still accurate and the signature is still valid, yes. 
You may use your own form and you do not have to use the one provided
on our website.

 

 

Q: What if one of my players forgot to bring his/her Medical Release form?

A: Have the parent fill out another one and sign it. Since it doesn't have
to be notarized, that's all you need.

 

 

Q: Can I use the medical release forms we use in our league?

A: Yes. As long as the medical release form authorizes treatment in the
absence of the parent/legal guardian, we're fine with that.

 

 

Q: One of my players observes specific medical practices as part of his beliefs. Does he have to sign the medical release form as well?

A: Certain religious traditions and cultural heritages may require specific
terminology to properly direct emergency medical personnel. That's OK.
Some traditions may require changes to common authorizations. Other
groups may require special authorizations. As long as we have signed
permission to act on behalf of the parent/legal guardian if he/she is not
present when treatment is needed, the release form should be suitable.
 Check with the tournament director if you're not sure.

   
Q: How many guest players can I bring to the tournament? U9 and U10 will play 8 v. 8 with maximum rosters of 15 (up to 3 guest players allowed)
U11 will play 9 v. 9 with maximum rosters of 15 (up to 3 gust players allowed)
U12 and above will play 11 v. 11 with maximum rosters of 18 (up to 5 gust players allowed)
 
 
Q: My guest players are from a recreational league team. Do they need
medical release forms as well?

A: Yes. Every player in the tournament must have a signed medical
release form.
