DFI - Dallas Fall Invite (Southlake)
WHAT: Annual point Series based on final standings in five annually held open water polo tournaments in the USWP Southwest Zone, namely:
• Charles Dutton Memorial Tournament – host Dallas WPC, approx. mid March
• Dennis Fosdick Memorial Tournament – host SAWPC, approx. mid April
• Dallas Summer Classic – host Dallas WPC, approx. mid June
• Houston Summer Open - host Houston WPC, approx. mid July
• Dallas Fall Invite - host Dallas WPC, approx. early November
WHO: All USWP Southwest Zone clubs are automatically entered when participating in one of the Series’ tournaments. There is no entry fee.
POINT SYSTEM: The top four finishing teams in each tournament earn placement points for that club: 7 for first, 5 second, 3 third and 1 fourth. Each entered club will also earn participation points for up to two entered teams: 2 for first team, 1 for second team. Points will not be awarded for non-Southwest Zone clubs, those points are dropped down in final standings order to the next placing SW Zone club(s). Points for ties in standings for any single tournament will have points for both placement positions split equally (i.e. a two way tie for Third Place will split 3rd and 4th place points). Any ties in total points earned in the Series will be broken first by: 1) head to head records between the tied clubs (A teams vs. A teams only) in all Series tournaments in the current year, then 2) total Series participation points earned in the current year. If ties remain, the awards will be split equally.

AWARDS - Series points are calculated after the Dallas Fall Invite:
• The Connor Cup trophy for the winning club to keep for a year until the following year’s winner is awarded by presenting the cup trophy to the new Series winner.
• Plaques for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for those clubs to keep permanently.
• Cash prize payable only to 'USA Water Polo' for the winning club’s USAWP club registration for the following year.
RULES:
• If any of the Series' tournaments are either cancelled or fail to be sanctioned by USA Water Polo, all related tournament points are removed from the Series calculation for that year.
• This Series uses each tournament’s final official placement standings ONLY to calculate earned points. The Series is not responsible for tournament seedings, bracket placement, tournament schedules/dates, tournament protests, failure of a club to properly enter a tournament or if a tournament host disallows a club’s second team to be entered. B divisions will only earn participation points, if applicable.
• Club rosters for any single event are bound by the USAWP Athlete's Bill of Rights, section 1.2C as defined here: http://www.usawaterpolo.org/media/h.pdf as -- Athletes must play for the USAWP club for which they are registered on the date of any respective tournament, unless the athlete's own club is not participating in the event or the head coach of the athlete's registered club grants permission to play for the alternate club. The penalty for this violation is forfeiture of any earned placement points by the club that the illegal athlete participated on for the respective event. Any violation reports for this rule must be made to the SW Zone Board (email to southwestwaterpolo@earthlink.net) within 10 days of the respective tournament. After 10 days no penalty actions will be taken.
• The SW Zone Board may review and adjust these rules annually.
• Any conflicts and issues will be resolved by the USAWP Southwest Zone Board.
