The

schedules are accessible from the Challenge Homepage located at http://www.socceragency.net/maps/2009/0907/invitational.htm Please check and
confirm the dates, times and fields of your games as soon as they are posted.
After Monday July 6 (Girls) and June 13 (Boys) teams will be notified by
direct email if they are involved in a material change. Team Contacts (as
provided on your application) are responsible for checking their emails on a
regular basis, especially the last week before the event, to ensure that no
last minute communications are ignored. LODGING
If you require
lodging, contact Titan Lodging Travel Coordinator Alan at
alan@titanlodging.com. Teams
staying overnight while participating are required to book lodging through
the Tournament. Titan has
reserved rooms with various convenient hotels at attractive rates throughout
the year, to ensure that there is adequate lodging for all MAPS & MSSL
events. If we fail to utilize these rooms, they will be released and
unavailable to teams at other events, including many during periods of the
year when accommodations can be scarce. Hence, we appreciate your cooperation
with this policy. REGISTRATION We will have
Registration at the fields at the Headquarters pavilion or tent. A team
representative must arrive to register an hour before your first game. All teams must
have: A photocopy of
the stamped, official Team Roster
they can leave with Registration officials. Pencil in any Guest players being
used. Player Passes for all participating players, rostered and guest. Authorizations for Medical Treatment, more commonly referred to as Medical
Releases, for all participating players. The ones
executed when the player was first registered with the team for the season
are usually adequate. Remember, these documents are critical to
ensure that a player can be admitted to an ambulance, clinic or hospital for treatment,
especially in the absence of a parent or legal guardian in attendance. These
documents have to show original signatures, and be signed within the last
twelve months. (And preferably be notarized, as we have heard of clinics that
questioned how they could confirm that the signature actually was that of a
parent or legal guardian.) Permissions To Travel for those out-of-state teams (non-New Remember: All
players on your team must have player passes from the SAME governing body,
whether USYS or US Club or AYSO, etc. RULES OF PLAY & REGULATIONS Rules of Play can be accessed from the Tournament Homepage or

coaches, managers, players and supporters are required to abide by these

standings kept at the small-sided field age levels, but each player U10 and

directions to the fields can be accessed from the Tournament Homepage. There
should also be a field layout map posted for each venue. Make sure you note
the venue at which each of your games is located. REFRESH YOUR WEB BROWSER / CONTACT MOBILE
PHONE# / MESSAGING Whenever
checking your online information, click REFRESH on your WEB BROWSER. This
ensures you are seeing the actual information available online, and not a
previously-memorized page being stored in your computer cache. (Failure to do
so is the most common reason teams discover they have incorrect information.) Please check
your team account on www.GotSport.com
and make sure there is a valid mobile phone number listed for the TEAM
CONTACT PERSON INFORMATION. This will be the first number called if there is
a scheduling or weather problem at the fields. Also, make sure
you avoided using corporate or government email addresses for your team
contacts entered in www.GotSport.com.
These networked computer systems tend to have strong firewalls and spam
filters that invariably prevent group messaging functions such as we rely
upon from operating. Please provide at least some email addresses from
residential accounts (AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail, Comcast, Verizon, Optonline, Gmail, etc.) Note that the
online registration form has space for at least three individuals (manager,
coach, contact) who can receive team email notifications. Please DO NOT
list the same person for all positions. If we are unable to get through
to this one individual, it leaves us no alternatives to pursue.
