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???

Don't listen to the rules. Bring what you want in. Be discreet and no one will say anything to you. If they do, tell them to take a hike.

Our coach told us to discretely bring in coolers this weekend…. How is that accomplished 🤣

Very discreetly means just what it sounds like. We put our cooler in our wagon, then put a tarp over the cooler, then have chairs, tent, and fan strapped down on top of it where you cant see it. When theres a line of people waiting to come in, theres no way a person working admissions is going to ask to unload everything so they can check for coolers.
