Subject: Important: Rain City Admiral Cup - Tournament Details & Expectations
Hi Everyone,
We are looking at participating in the Rain City Admiral Cup this April at the Techniplex. This is an unsanctioned tournament (independent of NLSA), which gives us a great opportunity for some extra competitive play. As of now, there is a plan for a Tier 2 division which will make for more even game play. If not enough Tier 2 teams are registered to form a serparate division, we will likely not participate in the tournament.
Please review the following details regarding the schedule, costs, and tournament rules:

Expectations & Conduct
-
Attendance: We must have at least 6 players to avoid a forfeit. Please let me know as soon as possible if your child has a conflict with these dates.
-
Discipline: The tournament has a strict policy on cards. A straight red card results in an automatic ejection and a suspension for the following match.

Fair Play: High standards of sportsmanship are expected from players, coaches, and spectators alike.
Official tournament hoodies and 1/4-zips are available by pre-order only. If you would like to order one, the deadline is March 20.
Please respond to the temporary event in Ramp by March 1st (Sunday) to confirm your child's availability so we can secure our spot before the division fills up!
- The first 14 people confirmed will reserve their spot on our team roster.
- If we can get 14 players, the cost per player should be ~$65
Any questions or concerns, let us know.
