All applications and registration fees must be received by November 14, 2008 in order to be considered for the tournament.
Team Selection: For the 2009 tournament, team selection will be determined by the GAPSS board of directors (after November 14, 2008) in order to ensure a 'showcase' level tournament, not on a first come first serve basis as in the past. Many criteria will be used to determine the final field of teams for the tournament. Due to the number of applicants expected, we will not be able to provide teams with individual explanations as to why they were not accepted into the tournament field.
Team Selection Notification: All teams will be notified of their playing status by no later than December 1, 2008.
Check Cashing: No checks will be cashed until a team has been notified of being accepted and the team responds by e-mail. Checks of teams not accepted into the tournament field will be destroyed. We will not be able to return un-cashed checks.
Refund Policy: Once your team has been accepted into the GAPSS tournament, no refunds will be provided.
