Special Note for Coaches

Coaches will supply the referees with a printed roster. It needs to match the roster the tournament has on file in the system as those have been verified with Player pass cards. Tournament officials will do random spot checks of Rosters at the end of the day Saturday to make sure Rosters are matching what the teams submitted. There is no in person check in this year.
