PRESS RELEASE

Pleasanton, CA - May 7^th, 2009

CYSA Board of Directors Approves Changes for Tournaments

Effective May 4^th, 2009, Teams applying to CYSA sanctioned tournaments will submit their application and fees directly to the tournament.  Applications will no longer be submitted to the District Tournament Coordinator for processing.

A team may apply to only one tournament per weekend whether it is a CYSA, Out of State or International Tournament.

A team may apply to another tournament on the same weekend only after being rejected from the tournament to which they originally applied or after withdrawing from the tournament to which they originally applied.  TEAMS FOUND TO HAVE VIOLATED THIS POLICY WILL FACE SEVERE PENALTIES.

Teams withdrawing from a tournament should be aware that a tournament may include in its rules a provision that allows the tournament to keep the entry fees for any team that applies.  Please check with the tournament regarding their refund policies.  In addition to the possibility of forfeiting their entry fees, teams withdrawing from a tournament less than 14 days before the start of the tournament may be fined $300 by the tournament for a late withdrawal.
