No spots held based on promise to pay.  Everyone says they are coming.  Then right before we begin teams that said they were coming cancel and we've turned other teams away because we've held their spot.  We can only take so many teams.  So its only fair to reserve spots for teams that actually pay. If we don't have enough teams to play then we will refund your fee. If teams register early enough we can get their names on T-shirts.
