3. Tournament fee
In order to cover the tournament fee, every player is required to pay a deposit of $50 to me (Dennis Staiger). Deadline is Wednesday, February 28th.
The fee is NOT refundable. Our club has to pay CAN $600 in total. If it turns out that you paid too much, you will be reimbursed for the difference, of course.
4. Skirmish and tournament size court
In order to prepare for the tournament and to get a feel for how playing the larger tournament size court is, we will try to set up a few practice sessions at the indoor hockey rink in Gold's Gym, King of Prussia. The rink is more expensive and larger, so we must make sure that we are enough people playing. We are looking into either a Sunday morning or afternoon spot.
In addition, we are trying to get a game against New York's team at Gold's Gym. Details will follow.
5. Have I mentioned not to forget to bring a valid passport to Toronto?
