Registration Information

Team Registration Process
The Windy City Invite will have a simple first-come-first-serve registration process. There is no bid application for the tournament. Fill out the online forum and submit payment to complete the registration. Due to field availability, registration will be capped at a max number of teams in each division. If the division fills up, the next teams that register will be placed on a waitlist.

Although there is not a bid process for this event, GLUE reserves the right to deny registration to teams at this tournament or other GLUE events in the future if a team does not play with integrity or does not represent the values of Spirit of the Game. But don’t worry, we will make sure to work with teams to correct behaviors before they become a problem and affect future tournament eligibility.

Payment
To streamline the registration process, we are only accepting registrations using our online system with SportsEngine. This means you can only pay for registration Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or checking account. We understand that many schools typically submit checks through student government or the school’s administration for payment; below are two solutions for those teams:

Ask your administrator to complete the online registration and pay directly from the school’s account
A team member (or parent) initially fronts the money for the registration to and then submits a request to the administration for a check to be written and sent to GLUE. Once GLUE receives the check, they will deposit it and then refund the payment made through SportsEngine.

If your team is proceeding with Option 2, please have your administration make the check out to “Great Lakes Ultimate Events” and send to 516 N Ogden Ave #112, Chicago, IL 60642.

Receipts or invoices for the registration are available upon request. Please send requests or questions to events @ glueulti.com

If you require a W9 to submit payment, please shoot us an email and we will send it over.

Player Registration
Two weeks prior to the Windy City Invite, we will open up Player Registration and online waivers. This is REQUIRED by our insurance for all players in attendance.

Refund Policy
In the event that your team needs to withdraw from the tournament, refunds will be handled as follows…

Withdrawal after:
September 23rd – 75% refund
September 30th – 50% refund
October 7th – 25% refund
October 14th – no refund

If the event is partially or completely canceled due to weather or some unforeseeable cause, do not expect a refund. GLUE will review the budget and do our best to give teams something in return to try and make up for the cancellation, but there is no guarantee since many of our expenses are paid up-front.
