Is this just for EXTRA™ teams?
No! The tournament began as a way for EXTRA teams to prepare for the upcoming season, but if you are a similar level / year-round AYSO All-Star or Tournament team, we would love to have you. The only requirement is that players are registered in AYSO for the upcoming Fall season.
My roster isn't finalized yet. Can I still join?
Yes! Go ahead and register your team online to reserve your spot. During registration you may choose the option that says you will submit your roster by August 5th.
My team has kids with different birth years. Can we still participate?
Yes! Your team will play in the age division of the oldest player on your team.
My region prefers to send a check. Is that okay?
Yes! Go ahead and submit your online registration and choose the option that says you will submit payment via region check. We ask checks to be mailed within two weeks of acceptance.
Are there Friday night games?
For most teams-- no. For local teams-- yes.
How many games do we have to referee?
We ask visiting referee crews to cover 2 matches (or six referee slots in total). If you have a team of 3 referees, that is two matches. If you have fewer referees, you can still get a partial/prorated referee refund based on the number of games you cover.
