Important Dates

March 18: Bid window opens
April 24: Bid window closes
May 4: Bids will be given out
June 3: Checks are deposited.

Due to the need to pay for many portions of Potlatch upfront and the habit of some teams each year of dropping shortly before the tournament (and thus leaving us "high & dry" financially), we have decided to institute the following refund policy for teams that drop after May 19. We feel that this is a fair policy because it will give most teams 3 weeks (5/5 to 5/19) to decide to drop (or not) without any financial penalty and allow adequate time for replacement teams to arrange flights, lodging, etc.

5/20 to 6/2 - Teams that drop during this window forfeit $150 of their registration fee
6/3 to 6/16 - Teams that drop during this window forfeit $300 of their registration fee
6/17 to 6/23 - Teams that drop during this window forfeit $600 of their registration fee
6/24 or later - No refund

This policy may be adjusted (at the TDs' discretion) for teams who are let into the tournament after the normal dates due to being originally waitlisted (and other extenuating circumstances).
