We’ve been promising an update to our league policies and we’re happy to announce that they’re now ready for you to review!
What changed?
- We’ve rewritten almost everything in simpler and fewer words.
- We’ve introduced a new webpage to house all of our policies in one spot.
- Policies are organized into categories so that you will find what you need when you need it.
- Explanations and instructions have been stripped so that only policy content is left: how we operate, what we require, and what we do and don’t allow.
- Our tournament registration process has been dramatically simplified and the new policies reflect that change. (More coming on the nuts and bolts of how it will work.)
What did not change?
The principles of our policies haven’t changed in any significant way. The updated version represents the gathered and reorganized essence of guidelines and policies as of last season.
What’s next?
As mentioned above, explanations and instructions are no longer mixed in with policies. During the next few weeks, we will be rolling out a new format for delivering all of the how-to information that will help new affiliates prepare and returning families refresh on the fundamentals.
Are the policies and rules final for the season?
We don’t anticipate any significant changes, but we also know that with such a major reorganization, it’s possible we may have missed something. If you think you see an issue, please let us know by emailing gro.ACFCN@eciffO.
We hope to tidy up any loose ends and consider both our policies and our rules final for the season by October 31. We will notify affiliates of any significant changes that have happened in the interim, and in the unlikely event that we have to make changes after October, we will announce those in affiliate communications.
