****ALERT****

Please do not send tournament applications to the District 1 Tournament Coordinator using registered mail or other mail that requires a signature upon receipt. This form of delivery is an unnecessary expense and may cause delay in delivery if no one is available to sign. You may choose to enclose a self-addressed/stamped post card with your application to verify receipt. Your District Tournament Coordinator is as close as the nearest mailbox!

Application Procedures for CYSA Tournaments

1. Follow the tournament application procedures in the CYSA Team Manual. The application package and the CYSA Tournament calendar are available at www.cysanorth.org
2. District 1 teams must submit a copy of the official CYSA team roster (goldenrod) with the application.
3. Teams are not authorized to forward an application or check directly to a tournament. You must apply through the District 1 Tournament Coordinator.
4. Tournament Applications must be submitted to the District 1 Tournament Coordinator by mail. Please send applications to:

   Patricia Flores
   District 1 Tournament Coordinator
   729 Shotwell Street
   San Francisco, CA 94110

If these application procedures are not met, your application will not be approved and it will be returned to you. Applications to CYSA tournaments in the new tournament calendar year will not be approved before May 1.

The District Tournament Coordinator will confirm the team is applying to the appropriate level tournament (i.e. Class 1 team to Class 1 tournament). See the Tournament calendar in the CYSA Team Manual for class designations.

GUEST PLAYERS: CYSA tournaments accepting guest players are indicated in the CYSA Tournament schedule. Please check the Cal-North website for policies regarding guest players.

Tips for Quick Processing of Your Application

Fill out the application completely with players' names in alphabetical order by last name, birth dates, gender, age, class, contact person's address and phone number, as well as an alternate contact.

A team official's signature must appear at the bottom.

Be sure to print and read the page.

Do not use staples.

You may send multiple tournament applications together in a 9" x 12" manila envelope. However use a large paper clip or small binder clip for each tournament application package.

Enclose two (2) copies of the tournament application (original and one copy for District 1 file).

Attach the check payable to the tournament to the original application with a paper clip. Do not staple. Do not send the check to the tournament: they cannot hold a spot without the tournament stamped application.

Address a standard-size envelope with the name of the tournament to which you are applying. Include your return address and sufficient postage.

Attach the (2) copies of each application, the check for the tournament and the addressed envelope with one paper clip. Please do not staple.

If you have been rejected for a tournament and you are applying for that same weekend, you must include a copy of the rejection letter with the new application.

Optional: Include a self-addressed, stamped postcard if you want confirmation that the tournament has received your application.

The less unfolding, un-stapling and sorting that has to be done, the faster your tournament packages can be processed.

All tournament applications will be sent out first-class mail only.

Please do not send your applications to us asking for a return receipt. If we are not at home, and have to go to the post office to pick up any mail, this can will delay your application being processed.

We cannot process faxed applications.

Please do not put the applications in my home mailbox. If the postal carrier comes after you drop off your application, they might pick up the your package.

Please make sure that the correct amount of postage is on the envelope or it will be rejected.

If there are any questions or problems, send email to D1TC@yahoo.com or call Patty Flores at (415) 641-7515.

Failure to comply will result in delays and you may not get into the tournaments to which you apply.
