Effective 6/1/97, Mid-Atlantic championship events will be partially sponsored and funded by MARFU. The following items will be reimbursed to the host club or organization upon presentation of receipts: field rental/leasing, on-site medical personnel (2/6/99 clarification: the onsite personnel are EMTs and ambulances for critical care; this does not include trainers), field preparation components (paint, etc.), and game equipment (to include balls, but not goalpost pads). Clubs or organizations bidding on championship events will state the cost of these items in their bid; reimbursement will not exceed the bid amount.
