The host team of the final competition in any competitive season may elect to host an optional separate individual tournament on the following Sunday after a sanctioned competition, which is not sanctioned or sponsored by the S.W.I.F.A. organization. The host team of the final competition shall be financially responsible for the individual tournament and retains any profits from that tournament.
Section 2. Rotation of Competitions:
Each member team shall be allowed to host a S.W.I.F.A. competition.
To ensure that all member teams are allowed to periodically host a sanctioned competition, the Chair shall hold a drawing of the member teams at the first meeting of the Executive Committee following the adoption of these By-Laws to establish the order of the teams which may accept the option to host a competition or decline in favor of the next member team in the rotation.
A member team may also elect to step back one position in the rotation and allow the next team in the rotation the option to host the immediate competition. This option may only be exercised one time by a team in any competitive season.
The order of the teams in the rotation shall continue from season to season, and shall begin with the next team which did not decline or accept to host a competition in the preceding competitive season.
No member team shall be required to host a S.W.I.F.A. sanctioned competition in any competitive season in order to compete at other competition or maintain standing as a member of the S.W.I.F.A. organization.
Additional member teams which are allowed to join S.W.I.F.A. shall be added to the end of the rotation list unless a different order is approved by a simple majority of the member teams at the Annual Meeting at which the new team is approved for membership.
