NEW TOURNAMENT POLICY:
The current policy is that we will cap at 12 field players and 2 goalies. We will have a sign-up deadline 4 weeks before (if possible). Rather than first come, first served, all who sign up before the deadline will have equal priority. If too many sign up before the deadline, then the board will decide who will go based with consideration for the best interests of the team/club, and based primarily on practice attendance and involvement in the club (i.e. attendance in the preceding weeks and months, and in the history of the club - this will be evaluated holistically, with the notion that this will be evaluated rather than playing skill, social ties/“playing favorites”, etc.).
One of the goals for the board shall be to ensure that everyone who wants to compete at tournaments will have an equal opportunity to do so (i.e. that all will have an equal opportunity to demonstrate their involvement and commitment to the club, which is the principal basis for tournament selection, and that the board will seek to offer new as well as longtime players opportunities to participate). For no more than two tournaments per year (normally very competitive tournaments, typically outside of the Midwest), the board may select a top team of the best players instead.
For Midwest tournaments, each person will be asked to pay a $30 tournament fee and the team funds will supplement any remaining fees. Fees for more expensive tourneys (typically competitive tourneys outside of the Midwest) will be decided on a case-by-case basis.
