directors or day officials will result in expulsion of the offending party from the facility.
Food in Facilities Policy:
Whether signs are posted or not, the region has a policy that all members and their supporters
shall have no food, food containers, or flavored drinks in the gyms. Individual Tournament
Directors and/or Site Managers have the right to amend this if their gym allows food, etc. Such a
revised policy must be announced at the pre-tournament coaches meeting.
1. The policy has been expanded to deny any crock pots, other electric cooking devices of any
kind, as well as outside barbeque appliances at any sanctioned venue. Any prohibited action
regarding food and its preparation may result in the removal of the associated team from
the event.
2. Any outdoor portable structure such as a gazebo, canopy or tent erected for the specific
team's use must be located outside of any fire lane or restricted parking space. Individual
tournament hosts do have the right to ban food tables and/or other team set ups at their own
