REIMBURSEMENT FOR HOSTING FIRST-ROUND GAMES:

This amount is used to cover all game expenses, except for the five (5) game officials and the Team Travel Subsidy, and is to be retained from the ticket admissions revenue. The balance of the gate and program revenue is to be forwarded to CCS. If the cost of administering the game is less than the above amount, the host school may keep the difference. If the cost is greater, the host school must absorb the extra expense.

IMPORTANT
NOTICE TO ALL PARTICIPANTS AND COACHES:
| The CIF-Central Coast Section is well aware that many
other school and non-school activities (AP tests, SAT/ACT tests, proms, plays,
holidays, senior trips, religious days, etc.) may occur during CCS
Play-offs. The CCS tries to avoid as many conflicts as possible; however,
with so many activities available for today's student-athlete, it is not
reasonable to assume that all such activities can be taken into account, and
thus, CCS Play-off events will go on as originally scheduled.
Participants and coaches are therefore expected to plan in advance for such
possible scheduling conflicts and make those difficult choices as to which
events will take precedence for that individual. Generally, although it
is ultimately the personal choice of the student-athlete and/or his/her
parent(s), an academic activity should take precedence over an extra-curricular
event. |
