Application Procedures
Teams applying to CYSA-sanctioned tournaments should now submit their application and fees directly to the desired tournament. Applications no longer need to be submitted to your District II Tournament Director for processing.
Teams are allowed to apply to only ONE tournament per weekend, whether it is a CYSA, Out-of-State, or International tournament. You cannot apply to multiple tournaments on the same weekend, and wait to see which one(s) accept your team before deciding which to attend.
You may only apply to another tournament for a given weekend after being rejected from your original choice for that weekend. Teams found to have violated this policy will face severe penalties from CYSA-N.
Teams withdrawing from a tournament should also be aware that they may forfeit their application fee upon withdrawal. Please check with each tournament regarding the refund policies. In addition to forfeiting your application fee, teams withdrawing from a tournament less than 14 days before the start of play may be fined by a tournament up to $300 for a late withdrawal.
If you have any questions, please direct them to your District II Tournament Director:
Submitting a New Tournament Application Following Rejection
Acceptance and rejection notices for applications received by the tournament before the application deadline will be mailed within seven days of the application deadline date. If you are rejected from a tournament and are reapplying to another one on the same weekend, you must send a copy of the rejection letter along with the second application. Failure to do this will result in a delay in the processing of the second application.
Withdrawal from a Tournament
A team wishing to withdraw from a tournament must do so in writing. The withdrawal request must be sent to the tournament director no later than 14 days prior to the start of the tournament. The withdrawing team must be able to provide written confirmation of its withdrawal request that includes acknowledgement from the tournament director. If you have withdrawn from a tournament and are reapplying to another one on the same weekend, you must send a copy of the written withdrawal request and the acknowledgement of the tournament along with the second application. Failure to do this will result in a delay in processing of the second application.

District II Players Make State ODP Pool
Congratulations are in order for our fine District II ODP players who advanced to the CYSA ODP State Pool. We wish them luck as they progress through the ODP process and once again thank our wonderful, talented volunteer ODP coaches (Michael Gokey, Mike Salvemini, Izzie Mendoza, Jacob Picard, Matt Schembri, Dawn Hill, Chris Fitzpatrick and Reza Taheri) who helped to make this all possible. Once again, more District II players advance to the State Pool than from any other district in the State. You make us all proud! The complete list of players that made the State ODP Pool can be found here.
