Notes
ATTENTION TOURNAMENT PLAYERS/PARENTS
Tournament directors do not have access to phone numbers and email
addresses of the tournament participants UNLESS the player
re-enters their contact information at the time of event
registration. This means that if a player does not enter their
phone and email information each time they register for a
tournament, the tournament director will NOT be able to
contact them for any reason, including withdrawals, defaults, byes,
rain delays etc. Your cooperation will ensure that tournaments can
continue to communicate necessary information to you. Thank
you.
