For the past several years, we have struggled with getting people to volunteer to help with securing team sponsors. While we have gotten cooperation on a relatively small scale, we just haven't had someone who is willing and able to spend the time that is necessary to organize and coordinate the effort. The main concern is the lack of following up on receiving payment. On average, we only receive payment from about half the sponsors.
So, this year, we've decided to eliminate team sponsors, and raise the registration fee $20 ($5 for Instructional) to cover the minimum that a team sponsor could pay in the past. It's unfortunate that we have to do this, but we need to make up the loss of revenue somewhere.
Without having sponsors for team names this year, we will use NBA and college names for our teams.
