Message: [QUOTE="Biff, post: 2058496, member: 5"] Well I think the applicable bylaw is this (although there may be others that apply) Additionally to what is below I know that a few years ago they changes the eligibility rule where the incoming freshmen are eligible for the trip. In trips before around 2011 or so incoming freshmen could not go on such a trip. 30.7 FOREIGN TOURS AND COMPETITION A member institution may participate in a foreign tour in any sport, provided the conditions specified below are met. 30.7.1 Certification of Tour. The institution must certify in writing that the conditions set forth in this section are met and must maintain the certification on file in the athletics department. 30.7.4 Time Lapse Between Tours. [SIZE=4][COLOR=#ff0000][B]An institution shall not engage [/B] [B]in a foreign tour in each [/B] [B]sport more than once [/B] [B]every four years. [/B][/COLOR][/SIZE] 30.7.6 Opponents. The team shall not compete during t he tour against other American teams (colleges or the U.S. teams) other than teams composed of U.S. armed forces personnel stationed at U.S. military bases in foreign countries. 30.7.8 Timing of Tour. The tour shall be scheduled during the summer vacation period between the institution’s spring and fall terms or during any other vacation period published in the institution’s official catalog. All travel to and from the foreign country must take place during such a vacation period. Further, an inst itution may not engage in a foreign tour during the period beginning 30-days prior to the first permissible practice date until the first scheduled contest or date of com petition in the championship segment of the institution’s playing and practice season in the applicable sport. However, if the team crosses the international date line during the tour, the change of date will be disregarded and the equivalent time as measured in the United States will be used to determine the institution’s vacation period.
