Re: Invoices and Receipts

<<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.
