The Tournament Captain (TC) will do the following, or assign these responsibilities to others on the team:

- ONE MONTH AWAY from Tournament:

• Check the Yankee website to find out the deadline for dropping: http://www.newportvolleyballclub.com/tournaments/yankee_tourney.php?display_location=ALL^{Image Added}
• Confirm
• take care of action items for that tournament
• confirm with or recruit needed players before the cancellation deadline - earlier if possible (if
  • If we do not cancel by the drop date we lose our money
  - tell
  • Tell Darcy Duke if you need to cancel - darcy@mit.edu
• Membership
  • Check the Yankee website (http://www.yankee.org/roster/tdlist.pdf^{Image Added}) to see that all of your players have Yankee memberships for this year.
  • If a player doesn't have a yankee membership:
    • She goes to the Yankee website to renew the membership or make a new one.
      • Renewing: - Go to the yankee website: http://www.yankee.org/ and either renew your membership, or make a new one depending on if the player has played club before.
        - The cost is $50: $25 will be paid by the club, and $25 by the player. You do not pay online when you apply for membership, the fees will be paid when you get to your first tournament. (just print out the confirmation email for your membership and bring to the first tournament)
        - Right now, for this coming weekend's tournaments, we are having the captains (Vivian & Laurie) pay for the club's portion of the fees and then I will reimburse them after the fact. This way only one reimbursement per tournament will need to be submitted.
        - If the captains contact me in time for new players who need memberships (at least 2 weeks in advance), I can get checks cut for the players and reimbursements will not be needed to be done. But this can only be done if I have plenty of time to submit a request to get checks cut.
        - I am placing envelopes in the locker for the captains to grab before tournaments now that has a list of all the players for that tourny and what each person needs to pay.
• get membership checks for any new Yankee players from Sarah (this takes 1-2 weeks)
• submit the roster on the week of the tournament here (click on the date of the tournament; click on "Modify" to submit the roster; if needed, update the captain's info at the bottom of the form)
• arrange car-pooling (note: directions to the tournament can be found here)
• get phone #s of all players in case of cancellations, delays (or if someone doesn't get out of bed!)
• 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 Sarah (remind players ahead of time to bring $, since u-grads often seem to come with none!)
• after the tournament, update this page with your team's record and who you played
