2012 Tournament Information
Dear Teams, Jan. 2012
We all must begin reserving our rooms and cars for the upcoming tournaments. Please read all material in this package carefully. Everything you will need is in this package for your teams and parents. All teams must be checked into the Disney All-Star Sport Hotel on Sunday, April 8. Please do not call the hotel directly because they will refer you back to me. Please be on time with all money and forms. This is very important to keep everything on time.
If I do not receive your rooming list and money by the due date (March 1), you will have to find hotel rooms on your own and any games you play will be a forfeit. We are under a new contract with Disney and must follow some very tight guidelines.
Website: We will have updates on the 2012 Tournament on the web site for the teams & parents. We will also be updating the web site each day at the tournament. We hope to keep all the people who cannot make it to Florida up to date on all tournament play.
Hotel: Please fill out the hotel information sheet completely. Each team will be allowed to book 6 rooms only. If you should need more than 6 rooms, you must book them through the hotel number below and put them on your credit card. There will be no exceptions.I will not accept any rooms for parents. We have a tax-free number for the teams only. If I find that any of the rooms are occupied by parents I will see that the tax is added when you arrive. Please do not abuse a good thing. All rooms will be $109 per night per room. There is a maximum of only 4 people per room. All rooming lists & money must be in by March 1.
Rental Cars:
You must make your own reservations for transportation, as we will not be getting any discounts this year. Reserve now! You my use Disney Transportation from the hotel to the Sports Complex. Please leave your team enough time if you choose this option. You may also use the buses for transportation to any of the parks. This will save on parking costs.
Tickets:
All teams mustpurchase 14 2-day park passes. You may offer these ticket prices to your parents. All tickets will be given to the teams and you will have to get them to your parents, so keep track of your parent ticket orders. Parents will not be able to get these ticket prices down in Florida. There are a few different kinds of tickets that are available so please read the ticket sheet carefully. You must purchase a minimum of 14, 2-day park passes. If you would like water park tickets, they are available at a special price on the ticket sheet provided to teams. All ticket money must be in by March 1.
Parents: Any parent wishing to reserve a room through the Small Fry Program may call Disney at 407-938-4868, choose option 1 and ask for Code G0597906. Parents will be able to stay in the Disney All-Star Sport Hotel with the teams. Parents wishing to purchase tickets for the Disney Parks must get them through the teams. I will not be handling any parent rooms, ticket or cars. Parents or anyone else wishing to watch the games will be able to purchase tickets into the Sports Complex at the complex ticket window. Please give this information to all parents that are traveling.
Team Pictures: All teams must have a team picture and a roster with team names and numbers typed so we can read it. All pictures must be in by March 1. Please email strong resolution JPEG only pictures to Rgljr13@aol.com. Any pictures after this date will not be in the tournament program. No exceptions.
Tournament Notes: All teams are asked again to have something to exchange for the opening of your first tournament game. The gift does not have to be expensive. All teams must be dressed in uniform for the championship game on 4/12. All teams must be present at the International Tournament’s championship game. Please follow timeline for check - in. All teams must have 1 coach at all meetings in Florida. These meetings are very important. Please be on time.
Disney Waiver Forms: Please make copies of the Disney waiver form (located on the Small Fry web site) and get them all to me by March 1. All players, coaches & team scorekeepers must have a form filled out and signed. No forms, no play.
Ads for Tournament Program: If any team knows any company that would be interested in advertising in the tournament program, please let me know. Full page ads will be $500, back cover $1,500 or inside covers $1,000. This would be great exposure for any company. |
