West - Hosting a WF-Si fundraiser tournament - Simple as ABC

If you are interested in hosting a WF-Si Tournament in our Area, you need only:

A. Enter your proposed tournament on our free web site at SelectSoftball.com, 

B. Send us an email Accepting the Guidelines listed below with your tournament name 
and dates,      and

C. Agree to and follow the guidelines listed below.

After the request is made, tournaments will be listed on a pending list available to 
Tournament Directors, and will be changed from pending to active upon approval by the 
State Director. Conflicts will be examined before approval. When the tournaments 
become active they will appear on the main Tournament List, and will be available for 
entry by teams. The State Director will resolve conflicts and provide solutions. Solutions 
may be spreading the age groups among several locations, and/or moving dates. 
Cooperation among Tournament Directors is a must! If a meeting is necessary among 
Tournament Directors for resolving conflicts, we will have one. You may review the 
pending tournaments by logging in as a Tournament Director and clicking on 
'List Pending Tournaments'. 

We actively support using tournaments as fundraisers for Teams, Associations and Charities.

e) All Teams in your tournament must have a current WF-Si Team Sanction number. 
If they do not have a current year number, they may request one from SelectSoftball.com
prior to the tournament, or you may collect the Sanction fee from the Team at your 
tournament. You will be responsible for collecting any new TEAM Sanction fees, and 
forwarding them by the Tuesday following the tournament to :

you will be credited for the Sanction fee. 
This fee is not to be collected from the teams - it must be a part of your entry fees. 
Other fees may be applied, according to the type of tournament, but you will be notified 
if there are additional fees so that you can include it in your entry fee.

g) Using the tournament director login, you must post the tournament results by the 
Tuesday following the tournament, and add a record for any teams that did not sign up 
online. This is very important, as we are tracking team records for State qualification 
and seeding, and for any decisions regarding A/B Classification.

all Umpires must be certified WF-Si, and have proper insurance. Annual WF-Si Umpire

This is general description of your responsibilities. If there are any changes, you will be 
notified, or those changes will be posted at SelectSoftball.com on the TD Menu.

We have no problem with you advertising your tournament anywhere else, but it must be 
represented as a WF-Si Tournament using WF-Si Rules, with any exceptions to the rules 
posted in your tournament notes.   Tournament entry must be made at SelectSoftball.com 
so that we can track team registration, participation and records. 
This is required.

Tournament Directors are ultimately responsible for making sure all teams are entered in 
their tournament database at SelectSoftball.com. If the teams don't sign up through the 
web site, then the Tournament Director must enter them manually by the deadlines above. 
If the teams are not entered by the Tuesday after the tournament, the local State Director 
will enter them, and an additional charge of $10 per team not entered will be paid by the
Tournament Director to the State Director. 

If you need help entering your teams contact the State Director 
or the BallMaster.. 

With that in mind, and the above guidelines met, we have no problem in immediately 
approving your tournament. Please email your acceptance of these guidelines, and 
enter your tournaments on our free site.
