At the Wednesday team rep meeting of each Tournament, teams may submit a bid proposal to host the Tournament two years from the current tournament.  The proposal must be completed to the extent possible and copies should be made for each team rep.   Representatives from the bidding team must have attended the past two Tournaments.  At the Friday meeting, team reps will vote to decide the future Tournament location/Host.  Results will be based on a simple majority of the team reps present.

When preparing a bid to host a Tournament, there are many things to consider.  In fact, the list of things to do and items that must be budgeted for may seem overwhelming and easy to overlook.  The best source of information is those that have hosted previously.  A list of items to be considered when building a tournament budget is noted below and in Appendix 5, Statement of Earnings.

To fill out a bid proposal, highlight and copy items 1-11 below and then paste in any word document.  Answer the listed questions to the extent possible.  If you need to add any other information, list that under question 11.  Bring copies of the bid proposal for all of the team reps.
