Sorry this has been so late posting. As some of you know I am overseas working with Gov. on a temporary contract. Anway, below is the tournament information for the June 12-13th Tournament. Two guys who helped very much over the past couple of years will again be assisting in the tournaments and running them while I am gone.
This will be more than 10 years for our tournaments and we enjoy doing them very much. We try to keep the cost down and make it the best experience for the players. We will probably limit to 40 teams per tournament with a minimum of six per age group. As registrations slow down, we will notify teams if wse don't think there will be enough. We rarely turn teams away that want to play and will hold spots if you are still collecting funds at this point.
We did agree to work with Breakers on a couple of ASA tournaments on the westside, but did not drop the MAPLE LEAF NSA TOURNAMENTS!
Anyway, information is below. I DO NOT HAVE THIS ON Burton Youth League website yet. Internet services is limited in Iraq, but for some reason can e-mail attached forms. You can reach me at my e-mail or contact Patrick Chapman or Guy Munn for a form to be sent to you.
Thanks and hopefully I will be home to see you all at the tournament.
