Roster Check-Ins

• Prior to the first game of the tournament each team will be required to have their roster checked by the site director at that location.
• Roster checks will be done at the same time of equipment checks with the game official present.
• We ask each team to be at their field 15 minutes prior to the schedule start time of their game so that we may get through rosters efficiently without delaying the any games.
• Each team must have each participant playing in the tournament with the proper proof of age available.
