TOURNAMENT
BANQUET: This year’s
tournament banquet will be held at the Palace Station Hotel & Casino. Each player on
each team will receive
one coupon for the Palace Station Feast Buffet for dinner,
unless you are staying at
the host hotel. Those players staying at the host hotel will
receive two coupons for the Palace Station
Feast Buffet. Immediately following the
Buffet dinner we will hold an awards ceremony and have a
special
guest speaker in our own private meeting room. The tournament
banquet will be held on Tuesday evening
(Oct. 23rd) during the
tournament week. This will allow for all teams to plan for other events
and shows
throughout the tournament week in Las Vegas.
MANAGERS AND
DISCOUNTS: Manager’s
discount: All managers are entitled to a discount up to $150, if his
team is complete
with a minimum of 10 total players (including himself),
and he doesn’t require additional help
from the NABA to complete his
team. For each player that the NABA must assign to complete
his team, $15 per player will be deducted from the discount.
UNIFORMS: All new teams and veteran teams
entered into the Over 50 or Over 60 National Fun Tournament will
receive
a uniform with color and team name of their choice, and a matching NABA
tournament cap.
If you’re a new team or a veteran team, and you have
your own uniforms, you may choose to utilize
them or take the tournament
uniform. If your team is utilizing your own team uniforms and
caps,
then you may take the $25.00 uniform discount. If your
team takes the uniform discount, you will
NOT receive a uniform or cap
from NABA, and your team will be responsible for it own uniform and
cap. If your team is utilizing the tournament uniform and cap, you are
not eligible for the uniform discount.
All player uniforms and
caps must match each other.
EMERGENCY SUBSTITUTE
PLAYER If you would like to play
in more than one game per day by being listed as an EMERGENCY
SUBSTITUTE
PLAYER then on the registration give us your name, primary team
assignment,
Las Vegas contact phone number or cell phone number, age,
height, weight, and playing position
preferences will be given out to
all managers, and you may be contacted (not guaranteed). You may
also
promote yourself as an emergency player on your own.
ELIGIBLE SECONDARY PLAYERS AND COSTS
If you are interested in
playing more than one game a day (NOT GUARANTEED) then you may register
to play on a secondary team as long as you are age eligible to play in
that division. If you are interested
in playing more than one game a
day (Guaranteed), then you may register to play on the TEAM USA
organization as long as you are age eligible to play in that division.
Team USA will play all of their games
at 3 PM each day and the only way
you will not be able to play with Team USA, is if your primary team
is
scheduled to play Team USA. To play a second game and be a secondary
player the cost is only $50.
When registering, please add $50.00 in the
secondary player box and add it to your total.
PLEASE NOTE FOR
TEAM USA ORGANIZATIONS: The tournament will assign TEAM
USA
organizations with players who are primary players from existing teams
who are interested
in playing more than one game a day. These players
are called secondary players. These
secondary players for TEAM USA will
be responsible for showing up at the game for the
TEAM USA they have
been assigned to play for. The only exception may be if your primary
team is scheduled to play against a TEAM USA. The NABA will do all it
can to eliminate the
possibility of matching a secondary player on a
TEAM USA against his primary team.
However, the NABA cannot guarantee
that such a conflict may arise. Since the TEAM USA
games will be played
at the 3:00 PM time slot, we are hopeful it will eliminate most of the
conflicts in allowing you to make it to your TEAM USA game.
PLEASE NOTE: No
secondary players will receive a second uniform or matching cap for the
TEAM USA they will be playing for. You will use your primary team’s
uniform and cap so it is
obvious that you are a secondary player playing
in the game. In addition, playing in a second
game incurs costs for fields, umpires, and
baseballs so there is an add-on cost for being a
secondary player. Each secondary player must
pay an additional $50 in order to be assigned
to a TEAM USA organization. THE SAME IS
TRUE FOR PLAYERS WITHIN
ORGANIZATIONS WHO PLAY FOR BOTH TEAMS IN
DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS.
NEW TEAM REFERRAL PROGRAM
If a manager and players
of an EXISTING team in the tournament refers a NEW team into the
tournament who did not participate the year before, the ENTIRE EXISTING
team will be eligible for a
$50.00 refund after the tournament; or may
take a $75.00 rebate toward the next year’s National Fun
Tournament.
Each player has the right to determine whether they will take the refund
or rebate.
NABA has the sole discretion to determine if a manager and
its players referred a new team in the
tournament.
