In person events We have a limited staff at each in person tournament. The organizers and TD's will be responsible for the players while they are playing their rounds within the tournament hall. However, once the player leaves the playing hall, parents and coaches must take over that responsibility. Parents and/or coaches, please provide age- appropriate activities during the time between rounds. You are responsible for your players between games! If it is discovered that a child has been left unattended and no responsible party has remained on-site, that child will be withdrawn from the tournament and the parents contacted for immediate pick-up.
Parents, another reason to be onsite involves your child's emotional well-being. Occasionally losses are very traumatic. If you are available for your child immediately after a tough loss, recovery time is much quicker. "We can't win them all" is a difficult concept for kids!
When you register a youth for a scholastic tournament you are agreeing a list of Parental/Coach Responsibilities!
