Rules
Rules
Members of the team that are chosen to travel must abide by these rules:
Team members of the opposite sex can at no time, be alone in a hotel room with another team member.
Students must be in their respective rooms by 11:00pm. No Exceptions.
Lights out by 11:30pm. This means GO TO SLEEP. You will need it, I promise. Yes, Mr. Beane WILL make rounds to make sure that these rules are followed.
Students are NEVER allowed to leave the hotel lodging we are staying at without Mr. Beane or a school administrator.
Students will be charged a fee to attend these tournaments. Out of town tournaments are NOT cheap and while the team will subsidize most of the cost, students will be required to pay an additional fee to help cover entry fees, hotel and travel costs.
Students will need to bring money for food while on the trip - that includes lunch and dinner.
Absolutely NO alcohol, drugs or intoxicants - you will not only be suspended from competing, but you will earn yourself a one way ticket home and SEVERE consequences at school.
Students must be ready to leave at the time posted - WE WILL NOT WAIT FOR YOU. It is unfair to make your teammates late for their rounds, please be on time.
