Late Payment - TFA Rules

As per our state organization all schools, especially those in the state of Texas should pay particular attention to the new code of conduct rules regarding tournament payment.

1. All sponsors chaperoning students participating in a TFA-sanctioned competition are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner. Such conduct would include, but not be limited to, the following:paying entry fees at time of registration or demonstrating proof of intent to pay in the form of a purchase order or personal check,being present or having a principal-approved designee present so long as students from the sponsor’s school are at the tournament site; and refraining from berating or intimidating judges, other coaches, and students.
2. Any outstanding fees are to be settled or received no later than sixty (60) days from the date of the tournament. Any additional judging, drop fees, or refunds must be paid or settled no later than thirty (30) days from the date of the tournament. Schools who have outstanding balances at the end of the season will be expected to make payment (or payment arrangements) with the indebted school by Feb 25 th . Any fees not paid by April 1 will be subject to a $100 late fee payable to the school. Any fees not paid by May 1 will result in schools being ineligible to host or earn points until all debts are paid and will be subject to a $100 fine to the school and a $100 fine to TFA.

Westwood Interpretation of Rule #2 states that: Underlined
Fee are to be paid no later than sixty day after the events. To this ends we will change a 2% penalty at sixty days and each sixt day increment after this date.
Drop Fees and Refunds Must be Settled 30 days from the date of the Tournament. To this ends we request from refund must made via email at which time we will start the clock on the 30 days. Drop fees will be subject to the sixty day rule in our process.
End of the Season Penalties. To this end any remaining fees will be subject to these penalties. If you paid the main portion of your entries but drop fees, judging penalties, late penalties or the like are not resolved by April 1 then we will charge the remaining penalties.

These rules apply to ALL School regardless of your geography.
