tournament play. Teams that cannot prove the age of their players upon demand by
the tournament whip will be in jeopardy of forfeiting their games & may be
removed from the tournament.
Player Exemption(s) – Special Cases
If you have a situation with special circumstances (i.e. playing an over aged player
@ the 15 & under age category, wishing to use a student athlete attending another
school…..etc. ) you need to bring it to the attention of the Senior Cager
Coordinator Tobi.Taylor-Dusome, by, Jan. 30th. She will then discuss your
specific request with the Senior Cager organizing committee. Keep in mind that
club teams are not part of this school sanctioned event. The tournament organizer
will contact you with the committee’s decision before the registration deadline of
Feb. 17th. This is a school sanctioned tournament under the NWT School Athletic
Federation. Players on all school teams must be in good standing as authorized by
the principal of your school in order to participate in this event.
Billeting Requests
If your school requires billeting, please fill out the attached billeting request form
and attach that to your registration form. Every year we try accommodating all
requests from community schools who wish to stay in the venue where the event is
being hosted. Hopefully we will be able to meet your requests although there are
no guarantees.
**Please be aware** This year, if you wish to be billeted (male /female) it will be
@ St. Pat’s High School. You will be subject to a non-refundable $25/ night fee for
each room used, as well as a refundable $300.00/ room damage deposit. Please be
advised that two separate cheques are required: one for the non-refundable
accommodation fee and one for the damage deposit. We will not cash the damage
deposit cheque unless it is necessary. Cheques should be made out to St Pat’s High
School. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Here’s to a great hoops season!
