TEAM
FORMATION
• Team
lists, schedules and coaching information will be posted on the website.
•
Low registration in any age group means that divisions may be combined
in a two-year age grouping to form a division.
•There
is no guarantee of space in the festival for any entries as there are
a limited number of spaces in each division. Players on the wait list
will be placed on teams as space becomes available.
•
Team managers will contact all their players during the week before
the festival
and
will distribute T-shirts and programs at the Opening Ceremonies.

NOTES
TO PARENTS AND COACHES
It is very
important that you complete and return the registration form well before
the early entry deadline.
Delay will
result in players being placed on a wait list and possibly not finding
space in the tournament.
The popularity
and unique nature of World Cups mean that the number of entries determines:
• the
number and composition of the teams to be formed.
• the
schedule for the 3-day tournament which involves over 100 games.
• the
publishing of the souvenir program which includes team lists and the
schedules.
Players are
requested to carpool as parking is very limited.
Please
respect the primary purpose of the festival,
which
is to have fun and make new friends.
