Your lead-in suggests that Middlebury will not be hosting this tournament, despite the fact that they meet all of your criteria.

Hello, I am co-captain of a highschool team in Tulsa, OK. If we think we are up to the challenge will our bid still be excepted even though we are a highschool?
Thanks,
Will

I’m the IQA rep for a team in Mitchell SD. Will we be able to enter even if we aren’t an IQA official team?

I’m with an Australian team… considering this is a World Cup, can we apply to host it, or are you only allowing American teams?

To answer your questions:
1. We intend to have this tournament hosted by a university team, but if I high school has the necessary hosting experience, it will be considered.
2. A team that wants to host should be official. I team that wants to attend will also need to become official.
3. All universities with the appropriate experience are eligible to apply. Any high school team may participate, regardless of their location.

Woah! That’s me! In the ad picture! I was just wondering how the photo was chosen. And second Caroline G’s comment about whether or not the team can use the photo.
