All youth participating in Florida PAL events must have the following submitted by the deadline for each event:
All adults participating in Florida PAL events must have the following submitted by the deadline for each event:
All PALs must submit a T-shirt Breakdown in order to receive T-shirts for FL PAL events {this form can be found in your rule book or online on our privacy page} Proper Submission for FL PAL Events All of your paperwork should be complete when it is submitted to Florida PAL office. If any paperwork is missing for the participant he or she will not be allowed to participate. If paperwork is missing Florida PAL office staff will not be able to fax you concerning all the missing items due to the turn around on our events; this is just a luxury we can no longer afford so please make sure everything is ready before mailing your packet. FL PAL staff would appreciate your calling ahead of time if you run into trouble or have questions and concerns. Staff members cannot assist you to the best of their abilities if you call after the deadline or if things are missing after the deadline has past. We recommend the use of a check off sheet to make sure that all required paperwork is in for each participant and for every event. For each participant youth and/or adult: paperclip his or her information together or fold the page back. No staples please. Do not attach the photo to anything but the participant application. If the event requires a roster the paperwork should be lined up (in order with) with the roster for easier processing. All entry fees (if applicable) should be in packet. FL PAL will no longer accept overnight packages to the P.O. Box. If you must overnight a package to Florida PAL to make the deadline we strongly suggest your PAL utilize Federal Express, UPS, or Airborne etc and overnight the package to our street address only. The United States Post Office cannot guarantee the delivery of your packages on time. If you so decide to use them please be aware that Florida PAL is not responsible for your choice of express service. Helpful Hints: If you have a UPS account, did you know that in the state of Florida all ground packages are guaranteed next day but only in the state of Florida? For under $5.00! Also every city has a main Fed Ex, UPS, Airborne, and (your cities main) post office drop off site that stays open later than 5pm; some even have 8:30pm drop offs and airport locations with later drop off times, that way you do not have to rely on a drop box or a pick up from the carrier. Also locate the mailboxes etc in your communities or businesses like that. They prove highly useful in a jam. J Florida PAL has established these guidelines so that we can provide quality events. We cannot assure successful events if we cannot be professional with the companies we have to maintain relationships with. When paperwork is late, in disarray, and incomplete your state office cannot provide printers, trophy shops, T-shirt designers, hotels, and catering staff with the appropriate numbers. Therefore leaving room for mistakes on crucial items that each PAL participant counts on being right. Please assist us in our efforts to have a first class organization that sets the tone for others to follow. Deadlines are established so that we can have adequate time to do all the things that help us create a great event for our members. Please help us so that we can provide professional statewide events for all the deserving youth we serve. We appreciate your cooperation.
