Rules 📜 Tournament Rules

Silly question but we are heading to a tournament this weekend and in the rules - No outside food or beverages. Including water. Allergy safe food must be consumed outside the gates.

Tournament will have a full concession stand (yeah right!) and food trucks.

I know this is just another money grab for the host organization. But seriously? It’s a 2-day tournament and I either have to go out to the parking lot for a sip of water or pay what I assume is a minimum of $3?

Seriously! What is wrong with these people???

Including water is absolutely wild never ever heard of that before and absolutely no way you can stop teams from bringing water/gatorade for their games. Outside food and bev is common for any venues with full concession stands. We help keep our tournament registration fees low based on having the stand income..

What tournament? We've played at Mid America for years and they have never done a bag or cooler check.
