USTeam Tourney 2014

2014 US Field of Glory Team Tournament Invitation
for Host Proposals
The US Team Tournament Captains Committee (or USTT) would like to extend an invita-tion to interested parties wishing to submit a proposal to host the 2014 US Team Tourna-ment.
The event will be held on MLK weekend January 18-19, 2014.
Format for the tournament will be 4 man teams playing 4 rounds with one team member in each of the periods as established by the USTT. Other rules (such as scoring system) governing the tourna-ment will be posted by the USTT and the host group will be expected to comply with these deci-sions.
Parties submitting proposals should address each of the following issues:
1) Venue – (The Committee has determined that sufficient gaming space to com-fortably accommodate 48 + players should be the minimum requirement.)
2) Cost per team to cover expenses and prizes
3) Guest Hotel and Rates
4) Friday Night Gaming and / or Socializing Space Availability
5) Local Transportation and Airport Access Summary
6) Non-Playing Referee
7) Availability of a "stand by" team should an odd number of teams turn out
8) Prize Support
9) Catered lunch on Saturday (additional fee) to facilitate game play.
10) Any special ideas to boost turn out and participation (IE Team Spirit
11) Awards, Sportsmanship Awards, Best Army Presentation, TV for NFL Playoff Games, etc...
Each of these factors will be taken into consideration by the USTT upon review of the proposal.
Full proposals addressing each of these items should be submitted to the USTT via
Gino.Agnelly@gmail.com no later than midnight July 31, 2013.
The committee will review the proposals and announce an award of the 2014 event no later than August 15, 2013.
Please note that this request is for hosting of the 2014 event only and will be repeated each year.

There won't be a decision by August 15. There are two competing bids, one of which is not on MLK weekend. Looks like next Monday will be the earliest a decision will be made.

Can a team from the UK even enter? I don't even think their president could enter the US teams now.

If the UK is the 51st State, I don't see why Kenya can't be the 52nd...

Not that anybody is bitter over what happened last year or anything.

Are arrangements for this finalized yet, including any explicit restrictions on who may enter?
