MD Juniors Facility

I’m just grateful they do not normally charge parents to attend tournaments there like Frederick VBC does. It’s a $$ grab.

It was $18/day unfortunately

Such a random and specific number!

I thought they owned the facility? In that situation it’s not about not paying rent, but about getting their act together.

They lease the facility. Apparently, they don’t want to invest heavily in it for fear of lease termination. In particular, they are unwilling to spend several hundred thousand dollars to install an air-conditioning system. One thing they should do is enlarge the girls’ bathroom—there is always a long line during tournaments.

that is something that should be negotiated at the lease renewal - makes no sense

Just imagine MDJrs doing some major renovation to improve the facility, then the owner charging extra for a better facility. Are you sure it's a lease and not a mortgage?

This was probably in conjunction with the National Harbor Showdown, where the younger age groups played at MD Jrs and older age groups played at National Harbor.

I am pretty sure that was the case. We've never paid to watch the MDJrs tournaments.

CHRVA might not be able to fine them BUT they can refuse to continue to allow them to host bid and non bid regional finals.
