CHECK FOR WRONG ENTRIES  Click here to search for tournament club/team entries You will be held responsible for wrong entries.

In-Correct Entries:
If you made a mistake- email us with the correction. YOU MUST RECEIVE A RESPONSE FROM US TO AVOID BEING RESPONSIBLE.  (eg: If a team is entered in-correctly, you are responsible for this entry until corrected on our database. Make sure all your entries are correct.   - make sure to search entries before remittal. Before you remit, make sure you know all the Tournament Rules- failure to read is not an excuse.

EG: If you have an in-correct entry, duplicate entry, entry still showing but you think you withdrawed- “anything” in our database- you are RESPONSIBLE, even if not paid – we assume you plan to attend and are held responsible until we hear from you AND you get a confirmed response back to us.

In order to find out where and when you play in tournaments, you need to know the following.  To determine WHERE you play, click on the search link. This is tentative- the MASTER will be the excel pool sheets, which are posted 1-2 weeks out from tournament date. These can be found on the detailed information link from the tournament schedule.

CHANGE OF DIVISIONS OR LEVELS AFTER ENTRY:

If you want to move into another level or age division, or the team age changes- you will have to apply with the date you request the change. In other words, you go to the back of the line for spot consideration.
