If you cancel your game, also cancel your referee with the assignor.


Post Season Commitment

Teams are required to make a commitment that if they qualify for possible post-season play spot they will fulfill their obligation by attending the competition they have qualified for (City Championships/Inter-Cities/Provincials). Teams who commit (via this letter) and qualify for a competition spot who then withdraw from it, forcing Emsa WEST 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).
