Hello everyone,
I'm wondering if any team on this board has pulled out of State cup or any tournament for that matter? Generally, there is a fine that occurs when this happens and I'm trying to see who pays this. Is it only the families who pull out or does the team just divide it up? I can add some context.
Our team is a lower level team.... We were around .500 for most of the season and planned on going to State Cup mostly for the experience. We figured we would go 1-2 but either way we decided to go knowing that we could have to travel a bit. Of course we got put in Lancaster which is 3 hours from us. Adding to it is that our goalie broke his foot and our backup is basically refusing to play goalie. We have someone who can play but we would prefer it if he didn't as he is a better field player. As the team stand now, we would probably go 0-3. The parents are having a hard time justifying the trip only to get crushed. As of now, there are 3 families that are for sure not going.
So the goalie's mom was our team parent and I am getting stuck with this mess. In the mean time, we are looking to pick up some players and might get lucky but as it stands now we are running down to 12 kids, and hopefully no one else decides to skip.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
