Hosting a Tournament
Any Governing Organization (District
Association, League or Club) may make application to host a tournament.
Applications must meet the conditions of approval and follow SOSA Tournament
Policy. Failure to meet the conditions of approval will result in the Tournament
Application being denied.
Tournaments Reports
Please note that the OSA passed RFD
2002-028 at its November 2002 Board of Directors meeting which alters the
previous tournament report requirements for all Districts. Please note that all
tournament hosts were previousely required to submit a discipline summary form
to the District within 48 hours of the completion of the tournament. The OSA
policies and procedures have been changed to indicate that a Tournament host
must forward to SOSA and the OSA within 2 days of the completion of the
tournament copies of all misconduct reports, including dismissals and special
incident reports, and the "list of cautions report". Within seven days of the
completion of the tournament, a summary of the discipline rendered to each
person (OSA Tournament Discipline Summary Report) must be submitted to SOSA and
the OSA.
Attending a Tournament
Any team wishing to participate in
a tournament outside the jurisdiction of SOSA must submit an Application To
Travel Form (A.T.F.) signed by their club together with proof that the
tournament has been sanctioned by the parent organization of the Club hosting
the tournament and the appropriate fee.
As these applications require District and sometimes O.S.A. and C.S.A.
approval please pay particular attention to the deadlines for submission of the
A.T.F.`s which are printed on the reverse side of the forms. Please note that
travel outside Canada and the United States requires 60 days not 45 which is
printed on the form.
Please also refer to the O.S.A. tournament classifications in order to make sure that your team is eligible to attend
the tournament you are applying for permission to attend.
A team is
covered by insurance under the OSA insurance policy for travel within
Canada only. You may wish to purchase additional insurance for travel
to provinces a great distance from Ontario, such as British Columbia and the Maritimes.
