For Clubs:

To be fair to all teams this is a first come, first served national qualifying event and until all three parts of the criteria are completed you will not be officially entered and accepted in this event.

  1. Your team must be registered in AES
  2. Keystone Region has received your payment
  3. You have a hotel confirmation, through TTS, our housing company for each team entered (8 room night minimum per team necessary to meet criteria- example: 4 rooms each for 2 nights or 2 rooms each for 4 nights). There is an exception of this policy for local teams, within the 75 mile allowed radius.

You will receive an email confirmation when your team is accepted. If all of the criteria has been met but you have not received a confirmation email of acceptance from AES CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY at [email protected] or call (610) 401-3362.

We are looking forward to another fantastic tournament and hope that you and your team will be part of it.

Venue: Spooky Nook Sports (75 Champ Blvd, Manheim, PA 17545)

Format: All division will be playing 2 days with 5 matches guaranteed. The playing schedule will be posted on TM2Sign on the Tuesday before the weekend. The latest match will be scheduled at approximately 3:00pm on the final day of the Qualifier. Most teams will have finished play before then, but there is a chance a team may be playing as late as a 3:30 pm start. Please make your departure arrangements accordingly.

Rosters: Teams must have full rosters listed on AES along with jersey numbers, and USAV numbers. Adjustments can be made to that roster until the roster close date. Any changes after that will incur a $25 late fee and will be taken care of at tournament check-in. The printed roster will be provided at team check-in. You do not need to bring your own copy. All coaches on a roster (head coaches and assistant coaches) must have a verified USAV background screening, be Impact Certified, and be SafeSport Trained. Any coach without a background screening, Impact certifications, or SafeSport Trained will not be allowed to sit on the bench during the tournament.

Changing Divisions: After the registration deadline or until a division fills, teams wishing to change divisions are at the discretion of the Event Director. Changes will only be made if space is available and helps the format of the divisions; we will do our best to accommodate you. In addition, it is possible that teams will not be allowed to move from one division to another, even when space is available, due to the inability to re-work the seeding of the affected divisions and secure approval from the seeding committee in a timely manner.

Refund Policy: Teams that cancel less than 30 days prior to the event will not receive a refund.

Fines & Penalties: $1000 intentional forfeit | $100 Falsify Credentials


Hotels:

In our efforts to keep rates low, meet the needs of the tournament, and stand behind the quality of our partner hotels, all out-of-area teams must stay in a BANE partner hotel. DO NOT book outside of the list of partner hotels or your team will NOT be accepted into the tournament. We work hard with Team Travel Source to put together a list of great properties for you to choose from for your teams.

AFTER YOU HAVE SECURED ACCOMMODATIONS, Team Travel Source will update your status in AES.

Some hotels may have more rooms open up when clubs release unneeded rooms.

Please remember that each property has a limited number of these room types available at the listed rate. Other room types may be available at different rates. Participants using booking agents/services may have additional costs related. These rates do not include taxes and each property has different policies relating to deposits/refunds/cancellation, so be sure to research and ask those questions when securing reservations.
