Tournament & Competition Procedure

Tournament & competition requests will be reimbursed to individual members of the student organization depending on their paid expenses. Payees must be registered in PaymentWorks (non-UCSD employees) or Concur (current or former UCSD employees) in order to receive reimbursement.

An approved funding source is required for all tournaments/ competitions. The main funding sources for travel are Associated Students (AS) Tournament and Competition Funds and Triton Competition Funds (TCF), both of which are managed by the Student Life Business Office (SLBO). 

Tournament/Competition documents must be submitted no later than 7 days prior to the event date. Late submissions may be denied reimbursement.
