<<My point was that many organizations are official organizations, and there is a standard set of information required to receive reimbursement.>> That's part of the problem.... it's *not* standard. For example, when I ran Yale's team, we got the money at the start of the semester, so we didn't need much of the information you listed. <<And I completely disagree with your statement that the onus is on organizations attending tournaments to request such listings in advance.>> Yes and no. See below. <<A detailed and itemized invoice is the sort of need that can be easily anticipated.>> Maybe things are different in the Midwest, but in all my years here in the Northeast, I've never been to a tournament where I didn't get such a receipt. <<If we're paying $200-$400 to send multiple teams to a tournament, asking that requests for payment have all the necessary information is a trifling request.>> I agree that teams do have a right to expect hosts to provide receipts showing how much was paid for each team. However, for example, I'm not about to put my phone number--or anyone else's--on every receipt, just because one or two teams need to have it. IMO, if you need information that could reasonably be deemed private (e.g., a person's phone # or social security #), it's *your* responsibility to let the tournament hosts know. --STI
