INFORMATION

Even although the tournament is held in summer, we cannot guarantee beautiful summer weather. Make sure your players are also kitted out for wet weather.

The DUNOON INTERCLUB CUP is not aligned with any sports tour company or tournament ring. It is an independent event and as such all we offer is an excellent tournament at a reasonable cost. No extra hidden costs or commissions are added to our entry fees and therefore if you require accommodation you have to arrange this by yourself. We can recommend hotel or Bed and Breakfast accommodation on request, at a reasonable rate.

Changing facilities are extremely limited. Because of this teams are required to share available space and showers with several other teams. Therefore, teams must only change in the room allocated to them, and they must remove their clothes and belongings once they have changed. Under No Circumstances should anything at all be left in any changing room.

Look after your belongings at all times. It only takes a few seconds of carelessness to lose them. The organisers are not responsible for any loss or theft from the dressing room areas.

The following rules must be observed in ALL changing areas: - Smoking is not allowed in the buildings - Footballs must not be kicked or thrown indoors - Keep your area tidy. Others must use it after you - All showers must be turned off after use.

First Aid cover is provided during the tournament by St Andrews Ambulance Corp. They will be located at the FIRST AID STATION. Teams requiring first aid assistance should go directly to the STATION.

Parking could become a major problem because of the inconsiderate parking of some drivers. All drivers are expected to take instruction from the car park attendants on duty. Strict Rules apply to where various types of vehicles can be parked.

Parking on the road is at your own risk and you are liable to be ticketed by the police. Teams may play three, four or five games each day depending on the number of teams in their age group and section. The organisers try to ensure that all teams are involved all day, and that the gaps between games are not to short or two long. However, when there is an odd number of teams in a section sometimes a longer delay is inevitable.

There is a council swimming pool not too far from the tournament site. Entry is not expensive and teams could make a visit there if they have an extended delay between games. However, if you do leave the site, please notify tournament control so they know where you are.

Over age players are not permitted. All players must be able to prove their date of birth if required to do so. Therefore make sure you bring proof with you. If you cannot substantiate a player's date of birth your team could be thrown out of the tournament. Queries regarding over age players should be addressed to the tournament secretary, in writing, accompanied by a non-returnable query fee of £5.00

Every team must complete the Tournament registration Form which will be given to team managers before the tournament. This form MUST be handed in to the DYFL CLUBHOUSE on arrival and before a team's first game. The registration form must be completed in full giving name, address and date of birth of every player. Only in special circumstances, and at the discretion of the Tournament Director, will players be allowed to be added after registration. ALL PLAYERS MUST BE OF AMATEUR STATUS

Team sheets will be provided, on arrival, to teams for every game played. One team sheet, listing players names and numbers as they appear on the registration sheet only, must be handed to the referee prior to every game. Substitutes must be clearly indicated. Unfortunately, when a large number of youngsters get together there is always some poor behaviour. We hope that every team leader will ensure that his boys are well behaved.

Teams must be supervised and well disciplined at all times. Between matches an adult must always remain in charge of the players. It is not acceptable for the adults to leave players to their own devices until it is time for their next game, a leader's first responsibility is to supervise his players.

Bad behaviour on and off the pitch, cautions and sending-offs during the tournament will be reported to the Scottish Youth Football Association, who will notify the National Associations of the teams involved.

Unruly or intimidating behaviour towards the referee or the other team, by players, officials or spectators will not be tolerated. Incidents of this type will be dealt with very severely and offending teams could be expelled from the tournament.

Look after your property and valuables.

Do not leave anything in the dressing room areas, the club building or around the pitches.

The Tournament Committee, the DYFL or Argyll and Bute Council accept no responsibility and cannot be held liable for loss or damage to your property or valuables, or those of any of your party, or injury to them

Remember, dressing rooms are never locked.

At every major event involving lots of people, especially children, litter can become a great problem if a little care is not taken. Please ensure that you clean up your litter. When you are leaving the side of the pitch after your games, take your rubbish with you and place it in the bins provided or get a bin bag from the control caravan.

Please also ensure that around the snack bar that wrappers, chip bags and empty cans are placed in the bins that are there.

Empty and crushed soft drink cans can be dangerous to your players and those of other teams. Falling on one could cause injury. Please make sure you pick up the cans your players drop. Glass bottles are not allowed in the grounds. Please do not bring any.

A full range of hot and cold snacks and drinks will be sold from the DYFL CLUBHOUSE situated in the grounds

PLEASE USE THE LITTER BINS PROVIDED
