Something new:
This tourney we will be doing a blind pool play draw. It will be a live draw on SM. It will work like this.
-
12 teams in a Div. 12 balls. In order by teams in alphabetical order, a ball will be drawn, that team will be placed in that pool, and repeated 11 other times. If there are 3 teams from the same org they will play each other. The only teams that will be placed in a pool will be the out of state teams that are traveling. I will send out a message to when the pool draw will be. This will be fun and something new for Idaho. Have an open mindset and lets have some fun with it.
Once the pools are picked, the game times will be out within 24 hours.
-
Rules and other info will be out next week. Let me know if you have any questions

Thank you

Organization cancelled event refund process: 
Rain out or other unforeseen events causing a tournament to cancel will be subject to rescheduling.   If a team elects to receive refund, a refund shall be issued minus 30%. Refund cost is used to offset credit card fees, field fees, staff hotels, awards and repayment of event cost.

A Division must have 4 teams paid for us to run
If we have not received 4 paid entries a division may cancel. A tournament division is not official until a schedule has been posted and is subject to cancellation if not enough teams sign up. It is our advice when consideriing hotel accomodations or air bnbs is to not book non refundable rooms for an event. If you do book a non refundable room and a division cancels AFA and AFA directors are not responsible for fees incurred by your team.
