Championship Weekend 2019

LAMINATED PLAYER/TEAM OFFICIAL PASSES

It has come to the attention of the Cup Committee that there are still questions about laminating player and team official passes. This is required.

Passes in plastic pouches that are not sealed or in plastic pockets in a notebook will not suffice.
Each pass must be sealed by lamination.
Please bring only laminated passes for each player and team official to the match.
There has been some discussion about the need for additional laminated passes since all player's and team official pictures now appear on the State Cup roster. This can be a second check of players and team officials but it does not take the place of current laminated passes. In the 15U-19U age groups, with the limited substitution rule, referees hold the passes during the game to make sure that the substitution process is proper for each team. Also the Regional and National Championships rules still require the presentation to the referee, of a laminated pass.
You must have your Official Game Day Roster form (State Cup Roster) and your laminated passes at every game.
