Failure to check-in may result in disqualification from the tournament.
Every manager will be required to sign a document stating that all paperwork is in order, players are of the correct age to play in the event, teams will follow the rules of the tournament, and parents will behave on the sideline (a parent send-off could result in the team being forfeited out of the tournament so please make sure your parents understand they are to sit down and watch and not be confrontational or risk the team being disqualified out of the event due to their behavior). We will not condone nor allow bad behavior from teams, coaches or parents and we WILL forfeit teams out of the event for unacceptable and inappropriate behavior.
Managers will then drop off their official game sheet with their assigned field marshal.
Managers should hold on to all player ID cards UNLESS there is a red-card sendoff in which case the referee will need to collect the player ID card, for that player, from the manager.
Referees will not hold on to player ID cards during the game.
Referees will perform safety checks on all players.
Once your team has officially checked-in 1 hour before the first game, no further check-ins will be required for pool play.
However, MAKE SURE you have the player ID cards and medical release forms with you at every game.
For the FINALS ONLY, please provide your player ID cards to the referee and remember to collect them from the referee after the game.
