Team Deposit Scheme

One of our goals is to make the weekend the best it can be for everyone. To encourage everyone to participate fully and fulfil their duties and commitments to play and officiate all matches wherever possible, and abide by all the rules and spirit of the event, we are taking an additional deposit this year from each team.

To receive the £30 entry deposit back, your team must satisfy ALL of the following criteria. 

If you satisfy ALL the criteria your deposit can either be refunded (£30) or, carried over to the following years tournament.

If you decide to carry the deposit over, you will have the opportunity to enter the tournament on the early bird date the following year and be guaranteed a team entry.

Playing

  • Partake in ALL scheduled matches – Sat & Sun

  • Be ready (with at least 6 players) to play when it is your time to play

Refereeing

  • Complete ALL refereeing duties – Sat & Sun

  • Be ready (with 3 people & 2 whistles) to referee when it is your team’s turn

IMPORTANT

At the end of the tournament all teams that satisfy the criteria in full will collect a ‘deposit refund voucher’ signed by Kate .

Failure to satisfy all the above criteria will result in a forfeit of your deposit plus the loss of the right to the early bird entry for the following year’s tournament.

If it comes to our attention (even after the tournament) that your team failed to satisfy the criteria, your deposit will be forfeited and the deposit refund voucher will be withdrawn.
