The Golden Apple Tournament will follow the rules of play as described in the NAGVA Rules and Regulations.

NAGVA Rules and Regulations (found under Governing Docs in the File Share) states in Section 6 that teams must provide a certified 1st referee and a certified scorekeeper for all matches. Further, the rules state that if a team cannot provide a certified 1st referee or certified scorekeeper, they must pay the cost of obtaining one from the tournament committee.  That fee will be $50 per position per match.

The Officiating and Scorekeeping Clinics are now online. Please go to your NAGVA account Certifications page for more information.

Teams without a NAGVA certified up-official or scorekeeper will be required to pay $50 per match per position.

If a team cannot provide a 1st referee or scorekeeper and does not pay the required fee, they WILL NOT play at the tournament and will not receive a refund.
