Refund Policy for CLUB division Teams:
If a team is denied entry into a Club division because the field is filled, the team may elect to cancel its application and receive a full refund of its entry fee, OR the team may elect to go on a Club division waiting list.
If a team in the Club division decides to drop out after being ACCEPTED (either from original entry or accepted from the waiting list), the team will forfeit the entire entry fee, regardless whether the drop happens before or after the February 12 deadline.
A team on a Club division waiting list may drop out and obtain a full refund of its entry fee as long as we have not yet accepted the team into the tournament from the waiting list.
ALL withdrawals from the event must be submitted in writing via email or fax from the person listed as the contact on the initial entry form.

Acceptance into the Qualifier
You can check whether your team has been accepted into the qualifier by going to your Sign Up To Play account and click on “Enter Events”. You will see a list of the teams entered in the event (along with any other events you have entered) with three columns beside the names -- DIV, PAID and ACCEPTED. This tells you what division the teams is in, whether payment for your entry has been received and whether your team has been accepted into the event. A list of accepted teams will also be posted on this web site sometime after the deadline date.
Entry Acceptance Criteria for CLUB Divisions:
The selection criteria for entry acceptance into Club divisions at Qualifiers is:
- The effect of this will be a "first-come, first-served" basis for accepting teams into Club divisions (for the first two teams from any given club in any given Club division, if a club enters a third team in any one division, that team will be placed on a wait list until the deadline has passed and all other entries have been accepted.)
We will make every effort to notify teams within 1 business day of receipt of entry application if they are accepted into the tournament or not (remembering that we have Christmas and New Year's holidays in here).
Entry Acceptance Criteria for OPEN Divisions:
If more teams apply for entry than we have space for in an Open field, the YJOV Competition Commission will solely determine which teams get into the tournament and which teams do not.
The Commission will use these criteria to select Open division teams:
- number of teams from a club
- date of entry.
Competition results information, meaning a list of match results, opponents and scores will be used to determine which are the strongest teams. Admission will be based on application of the other selection criteria afer all teams with reported competition results are admitted.
Teams applying for entry into an Open division will not be notified of acceptance until after the deadline date. If a team is not accepted into an Open division, they may apply for entry into the Club division if space is still available.
