Interested
players who cannot attend the scheduled tryout session should notify the
division coordinator so that an alternate tryout date & time can be
arranged.
·
To
be eligible, players MUST have played in at least half of their team’s
scheduled games in the age-appropriate division – that is, the division that
the player should play in based on his age.
Players who are “playing up” are NOT eligible for the PONY tournament
team.
·
The
number of tournament teams in each division will be determined primarily by the
number of players who try out.
Expectations are 2-3 teams for the Mustang & Bronco divisions and
1-2 teams for the Pony & Colt divisions.
·
Players
will be selected primarily by the head coach, but with input from all division
coaches who attend the tryout.
·
Also,
this year for the first time, PONY will be organizing tournaments for age 11
players only. Selected Bronco players
who are 11 years old may choose to play on the 11-only team if they desire.
·
Teams
will play in the PONY Arizona Regional tournaments in Scottsdale, July 10-13 vs
other Arizona PONY leagues (Ahwatukee, Scottsdale, Old Scottsdale, Tucson, Lake
Havasu)
·
The
winning team in each Regional tournament will advance to the Western Zone
tournaments in California, July 31 - Aug 3, and the winner of those will
advance to the PONY World Series (except for the 11-only teams).
·
Tournament
entry fees are paid by CYB. Uniform,
travel and practice expenses are the responsibility of the players and coaches.
·
Note: unlike the normal CYB season, tournament
team players are not guaranteed playing time.
