Ok this seems stupid. How the hell are you going to provide documented proof that you or anyone on your team is Asian? DNA Testing?

tourney director seemed kinda cool.. when i called him he said he would try to help out the people from outta town with later games times on sat and earlier game times sunday if needed.. only thing i dont like about this tourney is its 2-days.. pool play on sat and playoffs sun..

It doesn't state on my kids birth certificate that he is Chinese/Asian. I doubt it does on anyone else's either. Eye test don't work because so much intermingling nowadays especially in California. But I just don't see how anyone can prove it.

This is racist

Tough luck, too many white teams. :D

Hit up Bartmanz , he's Asian and definitely in BA.
I'm in Calif but it's too far out datewise for me to play.
I think anyone w/ an Asian last name will fly, if
on mom's side, that's where they want to see real proof.

yeah well my parents are from the phillipines and it says they were born there so thats my only proof.. and yeah thats true my kids are half filipino/mexican..

on the website it just says its the managers responsibility to provide documented proof of ethnicity.. so you dont have to turn in roster with proof i guess just if a team challenges it?

dont fall for that crap....we took it once..and lost twice in the championships in the past 5 yrs we've been doing this. the last time in the ships...he said championship game would be at 2pm...he was so jacked up with the schedules trying to accommodate his "buddies" that there was two open fields available and we didnt play a championship game til 6pm. half the team had flights at 7:45pm out of southwest and we had to leave and he allowed us to pick up 4 guys to make 9. its a bunch of bull****. i dunno why we keep going back but all the guys like watching the hot chicks play co-ed. it makes no sense how we can prove our background when all my guys parents were BORN IN THE US...theyre mix races for a reason.....

dmniterider we'll just bring them some lumpia, that should be enough proof. Me and Aj are down, Sorry AWASP wrong nationality bro you can't go. HAHA! Oh wait we're allowed three non asian's so you might fit in. Only probably I don't know enough Asian's to fill a team, maybe we can hop on someones Squad up there. Hit up the tourney director, I'm sure he know's someone looking for guys. I will make some phone calls tomorrow.

Any Asian sounding last name should do.
If not, bring passport, immigration papers, birth certificates or
visa papers. I sorted through ID challenges before and I'll take
anything that's official gov issue.

On these kind of ethnic tournaments, best have your
papers lined up in a row. ;)
I'm hoping no ID challenges in the Asian thingy that
I got going in DFW next weekend b/c I already
sent all rules to capts :p
