- Application Procedures for Tournaments
- Guest Player Procedures
- Procedures for District II Teams Traveling Out of State
You MUST follow the District II tournament application procedures.
AND
You MUST use the 2007/2008 Tournament Team Application for any tournament on the 2007/2008 calendar. (Note that 2007/2008 tournaments now begin as late as August 29, 2008.) And you MUST use the 2008/2009 Tournament Team Application for any tournament on the 2008/2009 calendar. (The first tournaments of the new CYSA year begin August 30, 2008.) Go to the CYSA tournament page for the latest tournament calendars and the proper applications. The tournament calendars continue to be updated throughout the year. Always check for the most up-to-date copy before submitting your applications. Carefully note the deadlines for applying. Applications for any 2008/2009 tournaments can be sent out beginning May 1, 2008—they cannot be postmarked before that date.
NOTE for Teams U10 and Younger: District II supports the CYSA policy of no tournaments for teams U10 and younger. Therefore, tournament applications for U10 and younger teams will be rejected. See Jamboree page for available U10 competitions.
The Perfect Tournament Application Package
|
Note: Teams are allowed to apply to only ONE tournament per weekend. 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. |
Each tournament application should include the following:
• A fully completed and signed tournament application. Make sure to use the correct year's form (either 07/08 or 08/09). A team official's signature on the application acknowledges that you have read and understood the back of the application form. Applications may be downloaded from the CYSA tournament page: http://www.cysanorth.org/Tournaments/tournaments.htm. Be sure to include TWO copies of each tournament application (one for our files).
• A check made payable to each tournament to which you are applying. Payment may also be sent directly to the tournament you are applying to.
• A standard size (#10) envelope addressed to each tournament to which you are applying. Include your return address and sufficient postage.
Option #1: Include a self-addressed, stamped postcard for the tournament to return, if you want confirmation that the tournament has received your application. Put this card in the envelope addressed to the tournament. Option #2: If you'd like to know when District II Tournament Director Deb Steinkopf processed your tournament applications, include a second self-addressed, stamped postcard with your package. Please make sure that either or both cards are a minimum of 3 1/2 in. high by 5 in. long (postal regulation).
• Attach the two copies of each tournament application, the check for each tournament and the addressed envelope with one large paper clip. (Please do not staple.)
• Put all your tournament applications in a large envelope (at least 9" by 12") addressed to the District II Tournament Director:
Deb Steinkopf
5837 Porto Alegre Drive
San Jose, CA 95120
E-mail: dteazstein@worldnet.att.net
• You may send as many tournament applications as you want in one large envelope, but please make sure that each tournament package is separated with its own paper clip. Make sure that the correct postage is on the envelope and DO NOT send applications via registered or certified mail. Applications may also be dropped off in the soccer box marked "D2 Tournament Apps" found on the front porch at the above address.
• Please submit paperwork a minimum of 10 weeks prior to the tournament date. Note that published deadlines for accepting applications are eight weeks prior to the tournament date, so this timing means that your application will be received close to the deadline. The sooner your applications are submitted, the better.
• If you have any questions or problems, please e-mail me. Include your team's name, age group, gender, and division in all inquiries. Thanks!!
Submitting a new CYSA Tournament Application following rejection or withdrawal from a tournament.
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.
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.
Teams are permitted a maximum of 7 guest players for CYSA and out-of-state tournaments that allow them. Please check specific tournament rules for the number of guest players each tournament allows. For each guest player, you must complete Form 1611. This form can be downloaded from the CYSA-N Forms page. Scroll down to CYSA Registration Forms and find Form 1611. Only three signatures are now required on the form: the guest player's parent, the registered team's coach, and the guest team's coach. Please refer to the instructions on the form for further information.
Procedures for District II Teams Traveling Out of State
If you wish to play in a tournament outside of CYSA-North (including Cal-South), you must have an approved Application to Travel, commonly known as a travel request. This procedure only defines the travel request and is not a tournament application. You apply and pay for the out-of-state tournament separately from, but in parallel with, the CYSA travel request. Note that forms are due to the CYSA-North state office no less than 30 days prior to the tournament date.
