The Mid-Atlantic
RFU has adopted eligibility standards for participating in their All-Star
programs. EPRU conforms to these standards.
"A player must
first play for their Local Area Union All-Star program in order to be
eligible for selection to the Mid-Atlantic RFU’s All-Star programs."
The EPRU procedure
for reimbursement is as follows:
The player
submits an airline or train itinerary/receipt to the EPRU (P.O. Box 393,
Exton, PA 19341) within 30 days of the incurred expense. No reimbursement
will be made after this period. Name, address, telephone and email address
of the player should be included. If the check should be payable to someone
other than the player (for example, a parent or coach), please include
that information.
The EPRU
will issue a check for 1/3 of the travel expense up to a maximum amount
of $100. Service fees for airline tickets are not reimbursable.
Travel Expense is defined as airfare, train passage or auto mileage and
tolls only. Auto mileage will be reimbursed at $0.25 per mile. For auto
mileage, include a “Mapquest” or other documentation for
miles to and from the event.
*Note* Players who request reimbursement
for travel as a result of their being selected for the Mid-Atlantic RFU
or a USA team, must have played for the Eastern Pennsylvania RU All-Star
team if that team has played matches within the previous eight months.
This policy excludes players whose travel is paid. Reimbursement does NOT
apply to player development or training camps or for USA National Teams
on "non-capped" tours.
Reimbursement
from MARFU for players who are selected in a match or tour for a national
team where players are eligible to receive "caps," will be
funded at a rate of $75 per player per event if matched by the player’s
Local Area Union. As of May 2001, the EPRU will provide $150 per player
per capped event. This applies to men, women, Under-19 teams, Collegiate
All-Americans or other national teams, excluding those players whose
travel is paid. Currently this affects only the Men's 15-a-side Eagles.
Reimbursement does not apply to training camps.
