BAD WEATHER DISCLAIMER

The games have never been totally cancelled due to inclement weather, but often there have been adjustments to schedules involving shorter games, or fewer games.  There is no guarantee of a full refund due to bad weather.  If games are shortened, or a complete tournament format is shortened, the costs may still be incurred by the MPFAA for the usual expenses.  On extreme situations, there may be partial refunds awarded.

ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS

·         All full time employees of agencies listed in the National Law Enforcement Manual.

·         All full time and volunteer fire fighters who have completed the certification required by their state.

·         Any full time employees of agencies that have been allowed to play in past games in Arizona, California, or Nevada.

APPLICATIONS & REFUNDS

The entry deadline for applications is September 20,  2004. Any application postmarked or received after that date is subject to a $10.00 late fee. Entry forms must be complete and LEGIBLE, and the waiver must be signed. Any person requesting a refund of an application fee due to their inability to compete must make the request in writing (e-mail is okay) to the MPFAA at:  P.O. Box 31927 Mesa, Arizona 85275.  You may not receive a refund if you are on a team that backed out of a tournament late.  No Refunds are guaranteed.

·         Any reserves who have completed the certification required in their state.

·         Court employees, Game and Fish employees, IRS employees, Child and Adult Protective Services employees.

·         If you meet the above criteria, you are eligible immediately. (No 180 day rule).

REGISTRATION

All competitors are required to register in person at the registration table located at the host hotel, prior to reporting for their event for competition. ID from your agency will be required. Competitors will be required to have departmental and Police/Fire Games ID with them at each and every site. If you are qualifying as a spouse, you need to present your spouse’s ID. A photocopy will do.

CARRY YOUR 2004 MESA POLICE/FIRE GAMES REGISTRATION PROOF WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES.

Registration will be at the host hotel. Holiday Inn at Country Club and Superstition Freeway, Mesa, Az.

ELIGIBILITY CLARIFICATIONS

There have been many situations in the past in which a person did not qualify for the games due to some rule technicality.  The “Invited Guest” category is for the purpose of making sure the right people are able to join us and the wrong people are kept out of the games.  This will hopefully eliminate any cheating by those who don’t quite fit the guidelines.  If anyone does not fit the listed criteria, or isn’t quite sure, you need to contact Rod or Coy Johnston for clarification and permission to participate.  If you are listed as an invited guest, you will be placed on an approved list. 

It is our goal to not allow special guests just for the purpose of strengthening the power of a team.

There used to be a rule of being hired for 180 days.  That rule no longer exists.  You can play the day you are hired or become a volunteer.

REGISTRATION TIMES

Wednesday      October 13^th 2004   1pm-8pm

Thursday         October 14^th 2004    7am-6pm

Saturday          October 16^th 2004    7am-noon

·          If any competitor has a problem with meeting these registration times, they must call the director and make arrangements.  Rod Johnston  480-201-1936, Coy Johnston 480-644-4909.

E-MAIL NETWORK

The Mesa Police/Fire Athletic Association is continuing to work on setting up an e-mail network to include all participants and any agencies that submit their employee e-mail lists to be entered into the files.  It is important to list an e-mail address on the application so you will be included in the Mesa Police/Fire Games Information Network.  Info will be mailed out to every participant.  If you change your e-mail during the year, please inform us.

DEADLINE

The deadline for applications is September 20^th, 2004.  After that date there will be a $10.00 late fee added to your entry fee.  There are several events that can still be entered after the deadline, but most team events and bracketed events have to close in order to organize the tournaments.  No guarantees for entry after the deadline.

In some cases, a team event may still have an open slot available right up until the games start.  If you are planning to enter a team event, please call and inform the coordinator to make sure your team gets entered.

TEAM SPORTS

The MPFAA policy for sending in team applications is  fairly lax, and we will continue to be as helpful as we can. We do not require the coach to send in every application at one time, however it would really benefit us, as well as the coach, to do so. We require five (5) applications to hold a spot for a team in softball, football, soccer, hockey, and baseball.  Basketball teams need to send in at least three (3). The other members of the team can send in their own apps, or enter late and pay the late fee, if they wish to do so.

HOST HOTEL DIRECTIONS

The host hotel is the Holiday Inn at 1600 S Country Club Mesa, AZ. The hotel is at the Southwest corner of Country Club Drive and the Superstition Freeway, also known as Highway 60. From the I-10 Freeway that comes from Tucson and shoots up West through Phoenix, you exit Eastbound at Highway 60. The 60 is located North of the Baseline exit, and South of the Broadway exit. Continue East for approximately 8 miles and exit at Country Club. Turn right (South).

From the airport, you can get to the I-10 by going Eastbound from the airport and then going South on the 143, also known as the Hohokam Expressway. It will take you to the I-10.  Go left (East) and then left again on the 60 (East), which will be right away.

 MESA POLICE/FIRE GAMES 2005

The 2005 Mesa Police/Fire Games will be on October 13^th, 14^th, and 15^th, in Mesa, Arizona.  We are willing to offer new events.  If there are ideas of new events to try in our games, please contact us.

coy.johnston@cityofmesa.org     480-644-4909

ENTRY FEES

The entry fee for the Mesa Police/Fire Games is $50.00 per person. Each competitor who pays the $50.00 can enter all the events they wish.  There are some events that require additional fees. Those events are listed on the front of the application.  Late fee is $10.00.

We suggest that you play in as many events as you care to, so you can get more fun for your money. A good example would be to bring a coed softball team for daytime play, and have the females play women’s softball at night, while the men play at night also, at no extra cost. There are several other options open also for entering day and night events, at no extra cost.

Pay by credit card

By phone, by e-mail, or by mail

Our website is WWW.CITYOFMESA.ORG

PAY BY CREDIT CARD

We have provided you the opportunity to pay the entry fee by credit card.  If you are concerned about security of the credit card number, we also will accept payment by credit card over the phone.  To do this, you just need to mark the application that you wish to pay by credit card over the phone.  We will call you or e-mail you once we receive your application.  The number could be given to us at that time and we can run it through our machine while you are still on line with us.  We accept Visa and Mastercard only. 

We will also be accepting credit card payments at registration for all those who enter late, but there will be a late fee of $10.00 added to the entry fee.  We sell souvenir shirts at registration along with other items.  A Visa or Mastercard will be accepted for those as well.

We hope this system will help our competitors.
