Individuals can try posting on our message board on the website to be picked up by teams.
Individuals can sign up by themselves or with a buddy and we will organize individuals on teams. Captains if you are willing to take individuals please let us know by e-mailing summer@eupa.ca

Captain's Information

Team Registration

Registration opens March 10, 2010! To register, sign in (or create a new account if you don’t already have one), click the big orange button in the right hand column and follow the instructions in the sign up wizard.

Captains must register first and create their team.
Players registering must choose the team they’re playing with. Please have your players register by WEDNESDAY APRIL 21!
Please note: If a player name is incorrectly inputted in their profile it will not show up on your roster. No name = no swag for that person! Get your players to fix their contact info on their profile like this: http://www.eupa.ca/community/thread/204.aspx

Fees

Captains will be in charge of their team’s fees.
The early bird team fee is $1025 with the cut off being MONDAY, APRIL 1 at midnight (cheques must be mailed – postmarked – on or before this date for the early bird rate.)
The regular team fee is $1125 with league registration closing on WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21 at midnight.
Team fees are based on a 14-player team (8 guys and 6 ladies). For every player over the standard team of 14 an additional $25 will be charged. No discounts will be given for less than full teams. If you have room on your team and wouldn’t mind taking on a few players looking for a team, please e-mail summer@eupa.ca.
A deposit of $400 will be required to confirm your spot but we would prefer that you pay your entire team fee by e-mail money transfer.
Your team’s registration will only be confirmed when we receive your deposit. If there is not enough room to take everyone, teams will be accepted in the order that we receive deposits in, not by when you registered your team online. (Note: an odd number of teams will not be accepted. The last even numbered team is the last team registered.)
If the remainder of your team's fees in not received at the captain's meeting, there will be an extra $100 penalty for your team!
