The Western Rugby Union is moving forward with the West Men's Division 2 and 3 Club Championships and the Boy's High School and Under-19 Championships this weekend in Tulsa OK. If you have team members (or members of their families) who have traveled to Mexico in the last month, or anyone within their households who have had flu-like symptoms within the last two weeks, you should consider removing that person from your roster and not having that person travel with your team.
Currently the swine flu is being passed person to person. The CDC is reporting cases of the swine flu across the USA. We do not wish to spread the disease. Please take this seriously, and use precautions when in public.

Directions to Valley Park Soccer Complex (from Valley Park website)
Take 169 North HWY 20 EAST (116th St. North Exit) - 7.1 miles to Keetonville RD
As you are approaching the 7.1 mile mark - on your RIGHT - the HWY has cliffs rising up - on your LEFT - ground drops steeply, is reinforced by steel beams and you will see an access road down to the below area.
SLOW DOWN - Just after this is Keetonville RD on the RIGHT.
Look for the sign indicating RUGBY TOURNAMENT
The landmark for the turn - a BLUE metal building - is on the southeast corner
If you pass the blue metal building - just find a place to turn around (it may take you a mile or so). Please be very careful on this road - it is rural, curvy, residential, narrow.
Take Keetonville RD for 3.5 miles to the entrance of Valley Park Sports Complex
Fields - The West event will be played on fields 1-4 (See map of the complex).
You are encouraged to reserve hotel space as soon as possible. As a reminder any inappropriate behavior in hotels does a disservice to our sport and your University. Any reported discipline problems at hotels will be dealt with under existing discipline procedure.
There are numerous restaurants in the area around the hotels. Remember you are representing your club and our sport while at any public place.

Discipline
Please download the Discipline Regulations from the West or USA

players must have been enrolled with the club they are representing no later
than 15 April 2009. Players who are CIPP registered after that date are NOT

On site questions, interpretations, etc. of these regulations will
be handled by the Western Rugby Union representative. On site responses to
eligibility questions will tend to focus on the letter of the regulations and
to narrowly interpret any of the regulations.
If your team has
questions about the eligibility of any player or players on your team, you
should immediately address the questions or concerns to the Chairman of the USA
Rugby Eligibility Committee. Questions should be addressed to him in care of
the USA Rugby National Office 303-539-0300. Questions on Eligibility may also
be addressed to the National Office to Dan Payne on extension 132. Requests for
waivers on Eligibility issues should be sent to the office where they will be
forwarded to the Eligibility Committee.

2. A $100 fine levied against your club.
The
office will compare your roster of players to CIPP Registration Rosters lists
provided by USA Rugby. You may ONLY list
players who have paid their dues to both organizations. Other names will not be eligible to
participate in the event. Clubs will be
notified of players that are ineligible. Such players may NOT be replaced on
the Event Roster. Clubs which no longer
have enough eligible players will be disqualified.
Rosters for
high school championship events are open -- i.e., there is no limit to the number
of players a club may include on their Event Roster. You may to need to use two pages for your roster.
If you need additional copies of the
form, please feel free to make them.

your team will use. Please note the procedure that will be used to determine
which team will be required to change kit should there be a conflict in kit
colors. The Referee and/or the Western
representative will determine whether a conflict does exist. See Event Regulations on the West web site.
Click here
to view the USA Rugby West Event Regulations. We suggest you download and review these documents.
Every
club in any level of competition including these Western Championships is
required to have a current and valid club membership in CIPP. Enrollment for
clubs is similar to that for players. A
club can check its enrolment status on the USA Rugby web site under
“Membership”. Clubs without a current membership by the Monday night prior to
Westerns will be disqualified.
Eligibility Binder (This is NEW!!!)
USA Rugby has reconfirmed the responsibility of confirming all eligibility
requirements to the TUs and LAUs. The West will
continue to responsible for insuring that all clubs and players meet the
current requirements to participate in championship events. Almost all of the
requirements of USA Rugby have been long-standing requirements of the Western
Rugby Union. However the West is going to formalize some of these
requirements by requiring all teams in Western championship events to produce
required documentation in a three ring binder at check in time. These binders will
be reviewed during and after check-in and returned to the submitting teams
during the first day of competition. It is suggested that each club include a
cover on its binder that clearly identifies the owning club. This will prevent
clubs from leaving with the wrong binder. The contents of the binder are as
follows:
Tab 1. - Current CIPP Roster for the club.
Tab 2. - A USA Rugby Participation Agreement and Event Roster (Click here for USA Rugby Boy's Single School High School and Under-19 Team Rosters and Event Information). The Western Representative will sign the form at the conclusion of the event for the teams advancing to the USA Rugby event. This form must also be signed by a representative of your LAU. This form is available on the USA web site. A USA Rugby Event Roster which will be signed by the Western rep in attendance. This form must be in the USA Rugby office at least five business days prior to the Round of Sixteen by Friday, 8 May 2008. Click here to review this document.
Tab 3. - A completed West Event Roster for this event. See below for additional information about completing this form. The Event Roster for the West event is on the West web site. The completed West Event Roster should be included in this section.
Tab 4. - A completed Registrar’s Form. See the Supporting Forms page on the USA Rugby website for the high school eligibility forms for collegiate and high school teams.
Tab 5. - Copies of the photo IDs to be used by each of your players. Copies must be clear. Illegible copies are not acceptable. Players submitting illegible copies of IDs may be disqualified. Copies should be in alphabetical sequence by last name. This should match the sequence of your players during the check in process.
Tab 6. - Copies of any eligibility waivers for any of your Event Roster players that were approved by USA Rugby. These forms should be in alphabetical order by last name.
Tab 7. - The original, and legibly completed, Waiver and Release Form for each player on the Event Roster.
Tab 8. - A clear and legible copy of the proof of citizenship for EVERY player on your Event Roster. Players without such documentation will not be eligible to participate and may not be replaced on your Event Roster. [NOTE: Proof of citizenship applies ONLY to the Men's and Women's Club competition, and does NOT apply to the boy's high school, U19 or collegiate competitions. There is no requirement for proof of citizenship for high school, U19 or collegiate championships.]
Note: Please see the Combined Regulations documentation on the
web site for additional information on procedures to be followed in the event a
team fails to provide a completed Registrar’s Form at check in. Essentially such a team will play all its
matches, but the results of each will be a forfeit loss.

Club
Check-In Schedule (React to this Proposed Schedule)
A schedule of on site check-ins is included below. Please refer to it and confirm your club’s ability to make the scheduled time. If you prefer a different time or your travel schedule makes it impossible for you to meet the assigned period, please contact Ted Hill at tedh@lifeben.com or
214-282-3000.
All
check-ins will be done at a single designated location on site at Valley Park
Soccer Complex. Look for signage and directions to the West table - ask
for Ted Hill or Dan Ward.
Each team
is assigned 15 minutes to complete the check-in process. If you have your paper work and players
organized that will be sufficient. If you
have neither, it will take longer and you will be asked to return to the check-in location after the last team is finished to complete your check-in.
Note that
the Western Board has approved the imposition of a $100 fine against clubs who
fail to check-in their full roster of players. Note also the new regulations regarding the
use of ineligible players including the use of players not on the event or
match rosters.
Player
Check-In Process (Understand this Process!)
For club players, a valid government-issued photo ID is required (e.g., passport, driver’s license, military ID – see USA
Rugby Eligibility Regulations).
We suggest that a club administrator gather the required
information, copy for each player, and mount the various forms on the sheets of
stock paper. Put the information for
each player on one side of a page, with another player’s information on the
back side. Place the completed sheets in a three-ring binder. The player sheets
should be in alphabetical sequence. See above for content and format of the required
binders for the presentation of information.
At check-in, line up your players in alphabetical sequence. Each player’s information will be checked, and
if complete and current the player will be approved for participation in the
event.
Teams that have NOT pre-submitted their event roster must bring the following additional information:
1. Proof
of Club CIPP membership
2. Proof
of CIPP payment for each player
3. Proof
of Western dues payment for each player
4. Proof
of LAU dues payment for each player

Match Roster. You must complete a match roster
for each match during the competition. You will need to make FOUR copies of each match roster at your hotel or a local copy shop. At least 30 minutes before kick-off you should
have someone on your team - preferably not a starting player - give one copy to
the #4 official and one copy to the Western Representative, and the
third copy to a member of the opposing team. Each team keeps a copy. During the match you should note the names
of reserves that have been used in the match and the names and method of scoring for all their
points. The completed form MUST BE delivered

information on substitutions. Law # 3
provides additional information. All
player substitutions will be handled by the #4 official who will be stationed near midpoint of each field during all matches.
Do not send players directly into the game without first going checking in
with the #4 official.
The Competition Regulations require a
team to be ready to play within 10 minutes of the scheduled kick off time or face a
forfeit loss. Familiarize yourself with
the regulations in the event of ties. Have a plan ready should this eventuality
occur.
Tie-Breaker
Procedures
The above
Kick Off Schedule notes which matches can end in a tie
and which cannot. Tie-breaker procedures
will be available on site and are included below.
For club matches that require resolution, except sevens and high school events, the following will occur after full time:
a five minute rest period, then
a ten minute period (coin toss for KO or receive), then
a two minute rest period, then
a ten minute period ( reverse KO of first overtime), then if still tied
a two minute rest period, then
a sudden death period not to exceed 15 minutes (with a new coin toss) to determine KO or receive, then if no score
a two minute rest period, then
a sudden death period not to exceed 15 minutes. If still no score continue 15 minute sudden death periods until a score occurs.
For high school matches that require resolution on the field, the following tie breaker procedures will be used (in sudden death the first team to score wins and the match ends):
a five minute rest period, with a coin toss for kick-off/receive, then
a sudden death period not to exceed five minute, then
a two minute rest period, then teams changes ends, and
a sudden death period not to exceed five minute
a five minute rest period, then
repeat ii. through v. until one team scores.
Note: High school matches CANNOT exceed 70 minutes in length. This includes any time added for overtime/tie game resolution.
Your team is responsible for bringing the necessary supplies to
the field. Since the usual object is to
refresh as many players as possible in the shortest period of time, it is
suggested that you serve water in small bottles. You may wish to purchase half-gallon jugs of
water to save money, but you should have at least one half dozen smaller containers to serve the water. Water may be brought onto the field during
stoppages of play or at the Referees direction. Players bringing water onto the field at
breaks may NOT wear playing jerseys worn by their club for that match. They should be covered with another jersey or
T-shirt.
Trainers will be on site for both days of the competition.
While there will be trainers
on site for the event, as well as local access to the campus emergency
treatment center, there are several local hospitals available should serious
injuries occur. Maps to the nearest
hospital will be available on site.
It is suggested that you purchase an inexpensive cooler and fill it with bottles of water and ice for each of your matches.
It is suggested that you organize team members to launder your playing kit after the first match. Playing in a dry, clean kit will be an advantage.
Further information regarding the nearest hospital will be
available on site. There are hospital
facilities a few minutes from the rugby fields.
Each team should have a procedure in place in case emergency
services are required for an injury. Who
will travel with the player? How and when should University officials be
notified? How and when should family
members be notified?
