2010 U-19 Late Arrival Information-SNOW ALERT!

2010 U-19 Late Arrival Information

Please forward this information to anyone participating in U-19

If your arrival is delayed please call me on my Cell phone at 240-538-1858.

Information regarding a late arrival must be supplied to Admin prior to the start of the draw.

As you all know the Ohio Valley and much of the East Coast has been hammered by a major snow storm.

I expect that there will be flight cancelations and delays at many airports as well as difficulty traveling by automobile.

If you are faced with this situation please let us know that you have been delayed and when you expect to be arriving in Cincinnati.

The tournament draw is scheduled for Monday evening 2/8/2010 beginning at 8:00 PM and ending at 9:00 PM.

Information regarding a late arrival must be supplied to Admin prior to the START of the draw.

No further entries will accepted once the draw begins.

As in past years, if an athlete registered in the event is unavoidably delayed and Tournament Admin is informed prior to the tournament draw that the athlete intends to arrive in time for the competition that athlete will be placed into the draw at the weight listed on their entry form. If you have been delayed you may call me (Allan Nader) between the hours of 9:00 PM and 11:00 PM on Monday evening for information regarding when an athlete is slated to box.

Competition is scheduled to begin on Tuesday 2/9/2010 at 7:00 PM. If an athlete’s bout is one of those scheduled for Tuesday and they have been unavoidably delayed and have informed/called Admin they will be allowed to weigh in and be examined by a physician until just before they are called to the ring. Weight restrictions will be in place. There is NO weight allowance. An athlete must weigh in at or below their weight class limit. Also, the athlete must present their passbook at the late weigh-in/physical. As always the “NO BOOK NO BOX” rule is in force. There will be no exceptions to these requirements.

This event is expected to be relatively small. Some weight classes may not begin competition until Wednesday 2/10/2010 or even Thursday 2/11/2010. Should a delayed participant arrive prior to the day they are required to compete please check in with Admin immediately upon arrival and submit the athlete’s passbook to validate their eligibility to compete and to ensure that Admin is aware of their presence. Each athlete must weigh in on the days they compete. Per the posted schedule, weigh in begins at 7:00 AM and ends at 9:00 AM each day or when the last athlete has weighed in. Competitors are required to report to weigh-in at 7:00 AM. If an athlete misses a scheduled weigh in or fails to make weight after checking in with Admin they will be eliminated from the tournament (as usual).

If you are delayed please call me on my Cell phone at 240-538-1858.

I will work with you to facilitate your participation.

Good luck and safe travel to all,

Allan Nader, U-19 Tournament Dir.
