Overview

The Midwest Zone is happy to host and provide high quality events that promote the sport of water polo through tournaments, camps, and clinics.  This document will outline the basic expectations for host clubs for an event.  The Midwest Zone will also assist with funding, and organization.

​

It is important that all sanctioned events comply with the USAWP event sanction and insurance coverage that comes with it. The Host’s key point of contact is the Competition Officer. The Competition Officer notifies the Referee Assigner that all sanction requirements are in place by sending the Host’s schedule, prompting assignment of USAWP certified referees to events. Please review the host guidelines for scheduling, sanctions, etc. so that all events sanctioned by MDW apply for USAWP.

5 Steps to Sanction

1. Review zone calendar for open dates

2. Request event dates from Coastal California Zone

3. Request event sanction from Coastal California Zone at USAWP website (by Club Administrator log-in). A completed “Sanction Request” is required for insurance coverage and referee assignment.

4. Send event schedule to CCA Competition Officer and Zone Assignor.

5. Budget accordingly, see updated Referee Game Fees below.
