Respect The Officials - remember that this is a jamboree and not a tournament. We have worked to get the most experienced group of referees possible for the jamboree. While you have the right to ask what the call was, you
SHOULD NOT argue with the call. We appreciate your support in keeping this a positive experience for all.
While we hope you find the competition challenging, first and foremost, we want this event to be fun for all players and parents. If you have not provided us with your insurance form, please do so.
