ROSTER FREEZE

The roster freeze is Saturday, May 25th before your first scheduled game. Once you turn in your Match Report/Game Card to the Field Marshal prior to your first scheduled game, your Roster is Frozen. You will not be able to add any players to your Team Roster for the remainder of the tournament. This includes any Club Passing for Goalkeepers and Field Players.

 

TOURNAMENT CLUB PASS RULE

Goalkeepers are allowed to participate in more than one team within all age groups, provided that it is age appropriate and strictly in the capacity of a Goalkeeper; they are not eligible to participate as a field player. To do so, a Goalkeeper must be included on the official team roster and listed as "GK" prior to their respective team's first game. It's important to note that no Goalkeeper can be added to the roster after the Roster Freeze deadline.

Field Players are not allowed to participate in more than one team within their own team's age group. However, players are permitted to club pass "up" or "down" if age appropriate between teams outside of their team's age group. To do so, a player must be included on the official team roster prior to their respective team's first game. It's important to note that no players can be added to the roster after the Roster Freeze deadline.

TEAM CHECK-IN PROCESS

We have strategically placed Field Marshal tents all over the soccer complex. Every soccer field will feature a dedicated Field Marshal Tent conveniently situated in close proximity to your specific field.

1. PLAYER CARDS: Valid, laminated or digital player cards for the 2023/24 season for each player. We also accept AYSO, Recreational and Signature credentials. If no birth year is on the Player ID Card, then a copy of a birth certificate or passport is required.

 

2. MATCH REPORTS/ GAME CARDS:  You will need to download and print a Game Card for every scheduled game located in your GotSport Account. The Game Card needs to be turned in at the Field Marshal Tent 30 minutes before each game. You will be responsible to make sure the score is correct and must sign the Game Card after each game. The Game Card stays with the Field Marshal.

Note: Do not worry if your opponent hasn't inputted their players on the Game Card. Each team will be responsible to turn in their own completed Game Card to the Field Marshal before every game.

 

3. OFFICIAL TEAM ROSTER: You will need to download and print a copy of your Official Team Roster. Make sure you list all of the players who will be participating throughout the three-day-weekend. Once you turn in your Official Team Roster to the Field Marshal prior to your first scheduled game, your Roster is Frozen.
