Manager's Checklist

 Hello Team Managers, 

Thank you for choosing the Northwest Classic as your AAA Spring hockey event.  We look forward to hosting you very soon!  Before you arrive, please ensure that you review our pre-tournament checklist and that any required actions have been completed. 

1. Schedule:  We aim to have the schedule completed and posted at least one week prior to the start of the event.  You can keep an eye on the division alignment and schedule by checking the Standings and Schedule pages at www.northwestclassic.ca 

2. Team Insurance:  Every team is required to carry a minimum coverage of $5,000,000.  Please email your proof of insurance to fvtournaments@gmail.com prior to the start of the event as your team will be unable to participate without it.

3. Roster Submission: Team rosters must be uploaded prior to the start of the tournament.  As part of the roster creation, the Team Manager must include a valid email address for each roster player.  This will "invite" each player to join the team.  Digital waiver signing is completed as part of the “player invite” process in Sportninja. (See Team Management section below)

3. Player Waivers: ***All players must sign the digital waiver prior to playing in their first game.**  In order to receive the player waiver, each player must be added to the roster - including a valid email address.  (See "Invite Players" below).  If the player waiver is not signed, the player is unable to be added to the gamesheet.  To learn more about how to add rosters and have parents/guardians sign waivers, please see the 'Team Management' section below.

4. Team Management: If you are the Team Official, responsible for registration, you should now have a SportNinja user account.  This account will allow you to:

   1. 1. Add your team logo

      2. Invite additional team officials (Coach, Team Manager, etc.)

      3. Invite players to your tournament roster (*Note: this includes each player’s waiver request.  If a player’s waiver has not been digitally signed, they will be ineligible to play and unable to be added to the game lineup)

      4. Set your game lineup prior to each game

      5. Give you access to the Sportninja app – to follow your team on your mobile device.

5. Team logo: As mentioned, you can log into your SN account and add your team’s logo directly.  If you hit any challenges, you can forward a copy of your logo to fvtourneyinfo@gmail.com and we can have it added for you.

6. Sportninja Account Support: For more information on how you can maximize your SN account to support your team before and during the event, checkout the Sportninja Zendesk for all the best tips, tricks and tutorials.

7. Hotels:  All out-of-town teams are expected to follow our Stay & Play policy.  Our hotel partners are big contributors toward our team swag, medals and MVP prizes for each event.  To view our list of partner hotels and book your stay, check out https://www.northwestclassic.ca/info/stay-play-policy. 

8. Check-in: Remember to check in at the tournament desk before the start of your first game.  Tournament officials will ensure that you have everything you need to get your weekend started off right!

9. Rules: The tournament rule book can be found at http://www.northwestclassic.ca/info/tournament-rules. Please review with your coaching staff, for details like player eligibliity, game lengths, divisional formats and more. If you have any questions regarding our rules, please reach out at fvtournaments@gmail.com

We look forward to seeing you at this year’s Kings Cup.  A reminder, if you have any questions or require assistance, please reach out to us at fvtourneyinfo@gmail.com .
