FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Where can I find my state approved roster and player cards?
You will need to contact your club administrator to assist with acquiring these documents. We do accept all USSF affiliates including US Youth Soccer, US Club Soccer, AYSO, and USSSA. 

Please see this example of a US Club Soccer roster and player cards. 

Will you accept a GotSport generated roster?
No, you will need to have an official roster from your state association/league. We will also not accept Excel documents or handwritten rosters. Please see the example above.

Exceptions are made for teams who's state association/league operate through GotSport. Please download a PDF version of your roster from GotSport and upload with your online check-in materials.

How do I add guest players to my roster?
If the guest player is from outside of your club, you will need to submit a Guest Player Form and player cards. If the player is within your same club, we do not require a Guest Player Form but we will still need their player card.

As a reminder, per our tournament rules, teams are not allowed to have players from multiple organizations rostered (ex. An US Youth approved roster with a guest player registered with US Club Soccer is not allowed). 

Once you have your Guest Player Form and player cards, you will need to add them to your tournament roster. We will accept these to be handwritten at the bottom of your roster. Only after you have all required documentation should you submit your online check-in documentation.

Can I have players play up or down an age group?
Players can play up age groups. Unless given written permission from the tournament director, players cannot play down. There are birth year charts available on the event page to inform you of the birth year for each age group.

Can I have a player rostered on multiple teams?
Players cannot be double rostered at our events. 

When do I know that my roster has been approved by tournament staff?
Approved rosters will be uploaded to your GotSport account by the Wednesday before the event. If there are any issues with your documentation, tournament staff will email the contacts listed on your GotSport application.

Please see this example of a tournament staff approved roster.
