Hi Chris,
I think we're all a little put out by these last minute restrictions. But I
hope we can get all the teams together for Sunday. If everyone hasn't been able
to register, then we'll need to see if the organizers will go ahead and let the
kids play anyway, or try to rejig their schedules at the last minute. My guess
is that there will be a consensus for playing.

To all:
Bob said we were CIPP as a club not individuals. This is a much better
way of doing it. CIPP is a way of enriching the USARFU. This is supposed
to be an enjoyable end of the season tournament not a rigid exercise in
bureaucracy. If we are CIPP as a club then surely a list of players will
suffice.
I would understand requiring CIPP for all players if a
competition lead to a regional, state or national championship.
This isn't. It's a loosely organized, end-of-the-season youth tournament
which is supposed to be fun. The people that are "organizing"
this event have decided to dictate the size of competing teams to
accommodate they're own clubs. We've been playing 10-a-side all season and
now we're forced to play 8-a-side rugby. The Seahawk U-10's has more
than 30 players. Now, out of the blue, they're thrown this individual CIPP
thing on us for nothing more than an end of season competition which leads
to nothing.
As many of you are aware, I am affiliated official with the Northern California
Referee Society and I asked NCRFU Referee President, Dr. Bruce Carter if any
referees had been allocated to this event. He didn't even know anything about
it.
At this stage I can not guarantee if any of the 16 Seahawk players from
Lexington Elementary will be turning up to this shambles of an event if the
"organizers" continue to make unreasonable demands so close to the
actual event. It's an hour plus drive both ways to play from 10:00 a.m. to
noon.
I will send an individual email to my group see what they want to do.
Having ranted on long enough, I would like to congratulate the efforts of Norm,
Bob, Dick, Steve and others from our club for doing a good job keeping us in
tact all season. The same can't be said for the idiots that are
ruining this disorganized end of season event.

(Sorry for any duplication; I am having email issues)
Silicon Valley parents:
For the tournament this weekend every player needs proof of CIPP registration and potentially proof of age. All players participating in USA Rugby events need CIPP registration for insurance purposes. Attached are instructions on how to CIPP your player. Please make sure the players are CIPPed and that you bring the CIPP number (print it out). It will be checked!
Additionally, any player at the tournament can be challenged for proof of age if the opposing coach has any doubts. If you think the player might be above the normal size range, please bring a birth certificate.
If you have any questions, problems feel free to email me at norm@...
Norm
Forwarding this on behalf of Norm. It doesn't seem possible to attach the
instructions to mail sent to the yahoogroup. The document is
