Thank-you parents for helping out with hotel reservations. Players/parents make sure you have your hotel room reserved as soon as possible. Also any team wanting to practice that Thurs. night in Minn. may do so, but I need to reserve space. Coaches please let me know if your team wants to practice a little bit on Thurs. Note: Usually players/parents will drive up after school/work to Minn. on Thursday. Players that do not have school on Good Friday please check into the hotel early so your team can practice on Thurs. night. Your Head Coach will contact you with more details. It is a about a 5 to 5.5 hour drive to Minn. depending upon road conditions and travel speed. Please don't speed and drive safe!
- All tournament entry fees [hotel/meal allowance for coach(s)] for non-select teams must be collected and paid in full prior to your team being entered. Approx. $100 to $110 per player depending upon how many players are going. The Head Coaches for the Non-Select teams are taking care of this. The Select team's club dues covers the cost for this tournament entry fee.
- Players/parents must pay for their own hotel & food expenses as well as for the coaches hotel and food expenses for any out-of-state qualifiers for any G-Force team including the Select teams. This would also mean any out-of-state tournaments.

For any team receiving a re-allocation bid must be voted upon by the team prior to the tournament, and if the Head Coach agrees to go.
