Team Captains-March 15 early bird deadline
Dear Team Captain,

 

Team sports are a highlight of the state finals! We look forward to the basketball, softball, and volleyball competition this year.  The State Finals are scheduled for June 20-26, 2014 in Williamson County. 
 

 

 The state final's entry deadlines are approaching and we have an abundance of information to share with you. Please read through this e-mail thoroughly.

 

Registration Information

A registration e-mail was sent out to our e-mail list in early February. If you are not on this list we encourage you to register for our e-mails on our homepage at www.tnseniorolympics.com. In addition, if you or your players participated in any district event last fall an entry form was mailed to you in mid- February.

 

If this was not the case, please click here to be directed to a copy of the registration email containing, dates, entry forms, rosters, and other important information.

 

These may also be downloaded from our website at www.tnseniorolympics.com 

 

You have two options for registering:  

 

Online registration is available at www.tnseniorolympicsonline.com.  Each team member must completely register with name, address, date of birth, payment etc. or you may do this for them. If you do allow players to go in and register for themselves please make them aware of your exact team name. You as captain will need to click the "I am captain" button when registering. An online roster will come up and you will need to record the names and ages of your players. Your team will not be officially registered without a roster.   Credit and debit cards will be accepted.

 

Via mail : Team captains need to mail all team members' entry forms in together along with a roster. Please do not allow your teammates to mail their form separately. In most cases, the team name is either missing or a wrong team name is submitted. If a team member is submitting their roster with another team, you may indicate this by placing a check mark in the appropriate column on the roster.  Your team will not be entered into our system until a roster is received.

 

Again, teams will not be officially registered without either an online or paper roster. We expect over 100 teams between the 3 team sports and it is very confusing for the staff to make sure all teams are in the proper age group and sport without a roster. Thanks so much for helping us out on all of these matters.
Deadlines
Please note the deadlines below. It helps our staff for registration to occur on time.  Our challenge is getting all 2,000 athletes registered into all 19 sports and working through problems.  We realize your challenge as a team captain and appreciate you. We have joked with many of you that it is "like herding cats". You may not have seen or communicated with some team members recently. If you feel like you need more time please communicate with Christine Dewbre directly at tnseniorolympics@comcast.net to discuss the situation.  Also please remember that captains and coaches (even nonplaying coaches) must register. This entitles you to a shirt, medals, etc.

    

Early bird Deadline:             March 15, 2014

 

Final Deadline:                     April 1, 2014

 

After the final deadline date , there will be an additional $100 fee per player (plus entry fee), to add players to the roster of a team that exceeds the minimum to take the floor/field plus one. 

Absolutely NO new players regardless of circumstances may be added 10 days prior to the start of the Games.

Team Composition Rule

Remember that teams must comply with the team composition rule:

Three grand divisions are set up. These include West (the districts of Memphis, Northwest, and Southwest), Middle (the districts of Greater Nashville, South Central, and Upper Cumberland), and East (the districts of Chattanooga, Southeast, East, and First). Teams must be comprised of players from their division with one wild card allowed from any area. For example, a team from Greater Nashville may pick up any players from South Central and/or Upper Cumberland and also one player from East or West. If unsure which counties comprise which districts please visit our website at www.tnseniorolympics.com 

 

Teams 75+ will not have restrictions. Teams may be comprised of any player regardless of district.

 

Important Note: The Board of Directors would like for all exceptions to be determined by committees comprised of athletes. If you have an extraordinary request for an exemption to this rule, please e-mail tnseniorolympics@comcast.net. Team captains from the same sport but different age groups will be asked to serve on a committee to consider the request.

 

If your team has a new captain would you pass this information to that person?

  

We look forward to your participation. Please let us know if you have questions (615-200-8760 or info@tnseniorolympics.com). Additional e-mails and newsletters will be forthcoming as we get closer.

 

Sincerely,  

 

Tennessee Senior Olympic Staff
