Summer Traveling Plans/Permission Forms

Summer traveling is coming up very quickly!  We would like to take all players to Nationals and at least one college tournament (probably Milligan).  If any players will for whatever reason not be able to attend either of these tournaments as listed on the calendar please let us know as soon as possible, but no later than Feb 14th.  If something comes up later that you haven’t planned for that’s fine, but if you can let us know by this date it’d help us with our planning.

Southeast is now requiring a special notarized permission form from all parents who permit their children to travel to any college tournaments or the national tournament due to the distance from Louisville.  Most banks will notarize this form for you, fill it out in front of them and you’re good to go.  This form will be required by Feb 14th so we have time to turn it into Southeast and get it approved before traveling begins.

Nationals

We encourage all families to take advantage of this opportunity of nationals being so close!  Nationals consists of Round Robin gameplay followed by a Double Elimination tournament.  This is the week that the players work hard for all year.  If you’d like to come and watch your child play for more than a day and will need a hotel room for however many nights, you’ll want to use the hotel reservation form and make your reservation through National Bible Bowl.  If you’d like your room to be in the same block as our group, it’d help for us to submit your reservation form with our church’s reservation forms.  In order to get your forms with ours you’ll need to give it to us by Feb 14th.  You can make these arrangements separately with National Bible Bowl to still get the Bible Bowl discount at a later date (deadline is June 1st), but you might not be as close to the rest of the group as you’d like.

Important: If your child does not attend Southeast please let us know.  We have to let the Bible Bowl office know in advance to ensure things are in order for player eligibility.

If you have any questions or concerns about any of these details please let me know.
