The possible location and date: ERP, Sunday April 23
Dear soccer friends,
In memory of our deceased club soccer players, a memorial tournament will be held each year for all female club members sixty years of age and older.
The purpose of the tournament is to bring the senior soccer players of our club together for a fair game and most importantly to enjoy the spirit of our sport. Our deceased club players loved soccer, they loved the community that supported the sport, and they enjoyed the friendships that grew out of it.
Once we know how many members have registered for this tournament, we will decide the number of teams and what formation we will play. The registration deadline will be three weeks before the tournament. The maximum number of participants should not exceed 50. The final decision about how we play the tournament will be made by the committee based on the number of participants.
Banquet
After the tournament, it is our pleasure to invite you and your significant other to attend the Banquet Saturday evening that will include a dinner buffet, awards ceremony, and a get-together.
General Rules for the Tournament
Maximum 50 players should take part in the tournament.
Before the tournament two responsible players divide the registered players into equal teams and if necessary, in two different groups.
Each team will play minimum two games. The first game of the teams will be drawn, which team plays against which team. The second game will be between the winning teams and between the non-winning teams.
There will be a 15-minute break between the two games.
Games will have two thirty-minute halves with a five-minute half-time break.
The rules of how we play are consistent with our club practices rules.
Registration
Each participant must register by e-mail

If this is not possible, the amount can also be handed over to Karl-Heinz or Yasuo on the day of the game. Should the tournament be cancelled, the fees will be refunded to each player.
