...
- take care of action items for that tournament
- confirm with or recruit needed players before the cancellation deadline - earlier if possible (if we do not cancel by the drop date we lose our money - tell Darcy if you need to cancel)
- get membership checks for any new Yankee players from Lindsay (this takes 1-2 weeks)
- submit the roster to the tournament director the week of the tournament
- arrange car-pooling
- bring 3-4 balls to tournament and returning them before the next practice
- bring uniforms to tournament (note: gym does not open until 9am on Sundays so get them before that morning!!!)
- wash uniforms after tournament and return uniforms to locker - please have just one person take care of this, otherwise uniforms tend to disappear!
- collect $5 from MIT students and $10 from all others; collect $20 dues if a player hasn't paid yet - give $ to Lindsay (remind players ahead of time to bring $, since u-grads often seem to come with none!)

Note that the club generally does not reimburse for gas and tolls, so you may want to ask the team to chip in. You will have to refill the gas tank of the rental car before returning it. Keep in mind that if you use the electronic toll pass provided in the rental car, you might be charged a $2.50 convenience fee, so add this in when you calculate how much you ask your teammates to chip in.
