association. Please make sure to allow plenty of time to do this and note
that some state associations charge a fee for the guest player.

Can my Club’s teams all stay in one hotel property?
Teams must stay in an approved tournament hotel (click on HOTELS on the
side menu bar). Our Hotel Coordinator will make every effort to place your
entire club into one hotel.
How can I get a copy of your USYSA Application to Host Form?
All forms will be posted under the “Registration” button.
Schedules just came out and our first game isn’t until Saturday
noon. We previously signed an agreement with our hotel for Fri and
Sat but now we are thinking we just want Sat night or perhaps we
would take Sat and Sun night if we make it to the semi-finals. Can
the tournament tell the hotel this is ok?
Agreements signed between hotels and teams are binding agreements
between these two parties. The tournament does not have any authority
over this area. Many of the most popular hotels know that there is enough
demand for them to require a Fri and Sat night stay. They also understand
that teams who promise to stay Sat and Sun nights instead of Fri and Sat
nights are likely to check out early so they won’t accept this option from a
team. If you are not positive you will stay Fri and Sat nights you should not
select hotels that require the Fri/Sat two-night minimum.
We are not a USYSA Registered Team, what do we need to bring to
Registration?
All teams must be USSF affiliated (USYSA or US CLUB Soccer members) or
have USSF approval for travel. The materials to bring to registration include
the following:
1) Two (2) copies of your Official Roster (maximum # players as
permitted by our rules). The Roster should contain birth dates of
all players. One copy will be kept on file and the other copy will
be stamped as Tournament Approved and must be kept with you
for review by the Field Marshall. The Roster submitted at
Registration will be the Official Tournament roster and may not
be altered during the Tournament. Note that players are only
allowed to play for one team.
2) Player Passes (identification cards) for each player (and Guest
Player if applicable) complete with photo identification and birth
date. If you have copies of Birth Certificates please bring them -
although not required, it’s always a good idea to have.
3) Approved Travel Permit (if required by your Association).
4) Guest Player Roster approved by the appropriate state
association (if applicable).
5) We require medical release forms but they do not need to be
notarized
