+"Trapped," or "orphaned" player rule - we realize that in some cases, U15 girls players will not have a team to play on in the spring season, so they are allowed by their leagues to play at U14. We will allow this for the tournament, however, one of the tournament directors must be advised in writing so that we may have a conversation and determine the appropriate seeding of the team. Notice must be given to the tournament director no later than April 15th.
