Once you turn in your 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.

PLAYER ID CARDS:

The following is a US Club and Cal-South tournament sanctioning rule that our participating teams must abide by for insurance purposes. 

We will accept the following Player ID Cards:

• CalSouth 2021-22 Season Player ID Cards. These cards are valid thru 8/31/22.

• Cal South 2022-23 Season Player ID Cards

• US Club Soccer 2022-2023 Season Player ID Cards only! (2021-2022 ID Cards - NOT ACCEPTED expired 7/31/2022)

• AYSO 2022-2023 Season Player ID Cards only! (2021-2022 ID Cards - NOT ACCEPTED expired 7/31/2022)

 

For US Club and AYSO teams who do not have their new 2022-23 Season Player ID Cards…. Do Not Panic! This is a simple procedure for your Club Registrar. Your Player ID Cards can be all processed very quickly as long as your team is in good financial standing with your club and have submitted all necessary paperwork.

TEAM CHECK-IN PROCESS

1. PLAYER CARDS: Valid, laminated player cards with a photograph 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. GAME CARDS:  You will need to download and print a Game Card for every scheduled game located in your TGS Team 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. If you are having difficulties with your TGS Account, you can click on the Game Card link on this Page to print and hand write everything in.

 

3. OFFICIAL TEAM ROSTER: The Game Card for your first scheduled game will also be your Official Team Roster. Make sure you list all of the players on that Game Card who will be participating throughout the three-day-weekend. Once you turn in your 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.

 

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.

 

We look forward to seeing you soon!

At your service,
