This Saturday starts the Florida Cup Competition for Men, Women and the College Women. As of this writing there are no games that will be allowed to be played September 13, 2008.
ALL GAMES WILL BE CANCELLED AND FORFEITS ISSUED TO TEAMS FAILING TO HAVE THEIR CLUB REGISTERED AND HAVE THE PROPER NUMBER OF CIPP’d PLAYERS APPEARING ON THE USA RUGBY WEBSITE.
Please be sure at least 18 players are CIPP’d FOR EACH SIDE ENTERED IN THE FLORIDA CUP COMPETITION. (Example: Orlando needs to show a minimum of 36 players CIPP’d on the USA Rugby Website because they have 2 teams entered in the Cup.)
Also please be aware that proper rosters must be furnished to opposing captains prior to the game and if ID’s (identification) is asked for, proper ID is required or that player may not participate in the game.
I will advise Gerry Fitzgerald to check the USA Rugby Website 10:00 PM Friday September 12, 2008 and any game scheduled in the Florida Cup with a team not registered and without proper player count will be cancelled, a forfeit issued to the offending team(s) and proper fines levied against the club.
There is plenty of time to take care of business and get your club up to date with USA Rugby as well as the FRU.
Please also be aware that there may be liability issues with non-CIPP’d players and clubs. Each officer in fact may be liable should some mishap occur during a sanctioned event.
Questions? Please call me at 305-793-4477 anytime.
