Southern Pacific Zone of USA Water Polo, Inc.
The Southern Pacific Zone is comprised of the counties of San Bernardino, Orange, and Riverside in the State of California.

Contact the tournament meet director to determine the cost of the tournament. All tournaments will close two weeks prior to the listed date.

YOU MUST USE THE ONLINE ROSTER VERIFICATION FORM TO VERIFY YOUR ROSTER AGAINST THE USA WATER POLO MEMBERSHIP DATABASE.

WHEN THE VERIFIED ROSTER IS RETURNED TO YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN, YOU MUST USE THE EMAIL OPTION TO EMAIL YOUR VERIFIED ROSTER TO THE TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR AND THE ZONE CHAIR (GRATKOVIC@SOPACWP.COM). YOU ALSO SHOULD BRING COPIES OF YOUR VERIFIED ROSTER TO THE TOURNAMENT AND GIVE IT TO THE SCORETABLE BEFORE EACH OF YOUR GAMES SO THAT THEY CAN ENTER THE CAP#'S AND NAMES INTO THE SCORE SHEET.

Arrange with the meet director how and when you are going to pay for the tournament. If you are not paying for the tournament prior to your first game, you must provide him with a written commitment to attend. This is required to avoid arguments about no shows at the tournament. Keep in mind the fact that once you commit, you must appear or provide a substitute team, since there are penalties for no-shows. These penalties require that you must pay the entry fee, you must pay each team you were to have competed against the cost of the games if they did not get to play them, and you must pay a fine of $50 to Southern Pacific Water Polo. In addition, you will not be allowed to compete in another tournament until these fines are paid.

It is highly recommended that each club appoint one person to act as the registration chairman for the club.

If a coach or athlete is not currently registered, you must submit a USWP registration form and check for them or they cannot compete. If it is found that the club has submitted information that an athlete or coach is registered and he/she is not, the club will be billed for the registration fees and be required to pay an additional penalty of $50.

If you compete in a tournament and have the situation of a no show against your team, it is the responsibility of the meet director to report this fact to the Zone Chairman. However it may be in your best interest to also report this fact to the above address. Email is the preferred method of communication. It is also requested that you report any situations that may occur that would tend to cause concern for the reputation of USWP or our Zone. The referees have the responsibility for reporting major injuries and acts of brutality.
