The deadline for a tournament will be 14 days prior to the actual tournament date.
If a hosting school provides three courts or more, their "B" team will be guaranteed a spot. All "B" teams must pay individual tournament fee ($125). A hosting school's "B" team will get their money back whenever possible.
