All teams must submit a roster on the team roster form to info@beachlaxfestival.com.  The roster should include player’s name, jersey number, phone, complete address and date of birth.  Rosters must be received by May 8,2010.  If complete roster is not received by May 8, 2010 the team may forfeit its spot in the tournament and have it registration returned. 

Any questions or disputes will be discussed only by the team spokesman and the referee on the field.  Disputes will not be heard after the game.  The spirit of the game is the key to resolving disputes.

Tiki Tournaments and the Beach Lax Festival reserve the right to disqualify any team for infractions of the following policies:

• Use of Illegal Players:  The players listed on the roster at the time the entry form is submitted are the only players eligible to play.
• False Information:  Information provided to the Beach Lax Festival on your entry form is the basis for our division breakdowns.  Any false information is grounds for disqualification.
• Unnecessary vulgarity or abrasive conduct:  Good sportsmanship is expected.  Spirit of the game is expected as well.  Beach Lax Festival reserves the right to immediately terminate a game and/or escort a player, coach, team or spectator from the premises.

In the event of adverse weather or un-playable field conditions, the Beach Lax Festival tournament director reserves the right to:

All games canceled due to weather will be considered a 4-2 WIN for BOTH teams.

If thunder or lightning is observed at any location playe will be suspended immediately and players and fans will be asked to leave the field.  Play will be allowed to resume 20 minutes after the last sound of thunder or sighting of lightning is observed.  If a game is in progress, the period will end immediately.  It it is the second half, the game will be considered final and the score at that point will be recorded.  If it is the first half, when play resumes it will be the start of the second half.  Every attempt will be made to begin subsequent games on time.  If the start of the second half of the suspended game delays the onset of the subsequent game the following actions will occur:

• The game suspended will play one 20 minute running time second half
• Subsequent games will begin immediately after preceding games (warm up on the sidelines prior to the game).  These games will consist of one 35 minute running time period until games are back on schedule.  Teams will have one 30 second timeout per game, not to be used in the last two minutes.
• Once games are back on schedule they will revert to two 20 minute running time periods.

We will make ever attempt to play every minute of every game but we will not jeopardize the safety of any player.

In the event of games canceled due to weather the following steps will be taken:

1. All teams will be charged for 18 Tournament t-shirts (18 x $15.00 = $270.00).
2. No refunds will be issued for games canceled for reasons other than weather (forfeit, no shows, etc.)
3. No refunds will be issued for games shortened due to weather.
4. If one game is canceled due to weather, there will be no refund.
5. If a second game is canceled due to weather, the team will receive a $165.00 refund. If all three games are canceled due to weather the team will receive a $330.00 refund.
6. No refunds will be issued for playoff or championship games canceled due to weather.
7. Since teams register, and are paid for, under a lot of different names, teams will be required to complete a Weather Refund Request Form that will be available on the tournament website.  This will indicate the team(s) requesting the refund, to whom the check should be made payable and where the check should be mailed.  No refunds will be issued if a Refund Request Form is not submitted.
