Travel tournaments have become great fun for the Gears and their families.  The Gears are known and welcome all over the southwestern United States.  We hope you all enjoy yourselves on this upcoming trip.

We do want you to remember though, that our purpose of this trip is for our participation in a tournament.  This tournament will feature some of the best teams from the Western United States, as well as some from other parts of the country.  For this reason, it is imperative we conduct ourselves as professionals as well as young adults.

Please take a moment and review our main rules for the road.  While these are not all-inclusive, and your individual coaches may add more, they are the most important and will be strictly enforced.

• Curfew is as follows (Your coach can, and will alter this):

 
• 14 Year old team – 10:00PM
• 16 Year old team – 11:00PM
• 18 Year old team – 12:00 midnight
   
• Rooms will be checked promptly at that time.  If you are not present, playing time will be affected.  If you are with your parents and will, or may be returning later, your coach MUST be notified PRIOR to leaving.
• Leaving your rooms after curfew is not permitted, will be known, and will be reported to your coach.
• Players must stay in rooms assigned.
• Any damage to a room will be billed equally to all players assigned to that room and their parents, regardless of their involvement and/or presence – this is NOT negotiable!
• ABSOLUTELY NO ALCOHOL OR DRUGS.  Any room found to contain either will result in the parents of ALL ASSIGNED TO THE ROOM being notified, immediate removal from the team, and immediate departure of ALL ASSIGNED TO THE ROOM AT THE PLAYER’S/PARENTS’ EXPENSE.  If you are in a room and notice this, it is your responsibility to inform your coach!
• The Garden of Gears is a Non-Smoking team.  If you are of legal age (18 years) and smoke, it must be done outside your room, whether or not yours is a smoking room.
• Rooms are for Gears players and visiting parents – NO unauthorized visitors ASBOLUTELY NO FEMALE GUESTS.
• Absolutely no entry into a casino – a player in a casino will be through playing for the tournament!
• You are NOT the only guests of the hotel.  Running through the hallways, doors opening and closing, loud noise, wrestling, and ball playing in the rooms not only annoys the other guests, but also shows a lack of professionalism and is not permitted.  BE COURTEOUS – ESPECIALLY IN THE POOL AREA!
