Obviously the goal here is not to make the season difficult for anyone financially.  Due to the cost of this tournament (and the value it presents) the team will do whatever we can to help with the cost, all within the GMHA guidelines as outlined.  Look for future discussions on this during our August Dryland sessions.  Additionally, until we figure out all the details, please keep this within the AE family.

 

 

 

Great news!  We have been accepted to the Markham Waxers Early Bird Tournament!  As a reminder, the tournament runs the Friday, September 14th, through Sunday, the 16th.  In all liklihood, we will have a game on the Friday, possibly as early as Noon!  If you are not someone who can leave work early, please start thinking about a carpool!

We have worked toward reserving 20 rooms at the BEST WESTERN PLUS EXECUTIVE INN SUITES.  The address is 38 Estate Dr., Toronto, ON.  Basically it is at Markham Rd. and the 401.  Common rooms have been booked for parents and players.

Rates are as follows:

2 Queen beds - $95

2 Queen beds plus couch - $105

1 King bed plus couch - $105

All rates listed do not include tax!  Once the amount of each room type is provided to Jim Sr., I will post a note stating when we can begin booking rooms.  You are responsible for booking the rooms yourself, and please only book one room until everyone has had a chance to book.  If you have extended families, there will likely be some folks that choose not to stay, and you can then book the extra rooms.

3 Rules if you choose to stay at the hotel...

There is a pool at the hotel.  This will be the only reminder, that you and you alone are responsible for your player and any siblings that go to the pool.  Please do not let your player head to the pool with no adult supervision.  If your player is found in the pool area without an adult THAT YOU HAVE SPOKEN TO, your player may miss game time.)

When our game time is announced for Saturday, a COACH IMPOSED player curfew will be in play.  This will be an announced time of when the players have to be in their rooms.  Not asleep, but in thier OWN room.

For those of you who haven't done a tournament away from home, you will quickly notice why these rules are in play ;0)

Thanks in advance for your understanding. GO STORM GO!
