Teams who commit (via this letter) and qualify for a post season competition spot who then withdraw from it, forcing EMSA to send teams that did not qualify, will be assessed an administration fee pertaining to that particular competition(fees can range from $500.00 upwards of $2,000.00 – pending on withdraw date). In addition, that particular team will not be permitted to advance to any post season play for the next two seasons (one indoor season and one outdoor season and the coach suspended for the same period of time).

Community Teams: This form must be submitted to the EMSA office by no later thanJan 5, 2015.

However, Out of District teams already advancing to Provincials through their own District’s berth cannot also attend Inter Cities. If they choose to go to their own Provincial berth they must let EMSA know via email or by note on this form.
