FAQ
Who is eligible for reimbursement?
You must be a current student registered at the University of Arizona (undergraduate/graduate) who is in good standing with the university. You must also be a member of the University of Arizona Badminton Club (UABC) who is in good standing with the club. This gets checked by ASUA and UA ClubSports.
Where do these funds come from?
The funds are primarily from ASUA. The funds also come from membership dues (membership dues collected from students go back into the students while membership dues collected from non-students (faculty/staff/Tucson locals) make up for the funds we are become ineligible for from UA ClubSports for UABC allowing non-students to play during club hours on our reserved courts). We are a non-profit organization.
Are there limits on where I can travel to for tournaments? Limits on how much I can request for reimbursement?
No limits. Reimbursement is solely based off of current UABC funds.
What is eligible for reimbursement specifically?
Tournament entry fee (including additional charges such as a processing fee)
Transportation (flights, bus, train, motor pool) GAS IS NOT ELIGIBLE
Room (hotel, airbnb) ONLY NIGHTS REQUIRED ALIGNED WITH TOURNAMENT DATES are accounted for in the reimbursement
NO food, personal costs/activities/parking, etc are eligible.
What can UABC do for tournament related support in addition to this reimbursement process?
UA Motor Pool: Car rental through the university (request must be made 1 month in advance to travel date and must have a certified driver). Check out details on the UA Motor Pool website. If this is something you are interested in, please talk to Treasurer Sue as she can coordinate the vehicle request, pickup/dropoff, and budget UABC funds to cover the cost.
Group Bookings: UABC is not responsible for the coordination of travel tournaments. However, we can support by connecting club members to other club members interested in the same tournament. In the past, UABC travelled in groups or a group (depending on number of participants) and did group bookings for hotels/airbnb and carpooling so feel free to ask.
Can only students go?
Tournament eligibility is defined by the tournament host. Most tournaments are open. Students and non-students can travel together. Only students who filled out the form can be reimbursed for tournament costs.
