MIST Check-In Instructions
Mandatory Online Check in
All teams must check in online prior to the tournament through GotSport. Deadline to check in is May 15th. Payment of the tournament registration fee is required prior to check-in. Successful online check-in confirmation emails will be sent by Wednesday prior to the tournament to the primary team contact.
NO changes to your roster or any check in documents can be made after check-in is complete and after May 15th. If you need to make any changes once documents have been uploaded, you must send an email to Tournament Director at Mist@medinasoccer.org to advise them what changes you would like to be made.
To reduce the chance of a change being required, it is recommended that you add any player who MAY be able to play that weekend as long as you do not exceed your maximum roster. Please take into account any injuries that may occur, requiring additional players.
Documentation Requirements (to be uploaded to GotSport)
In the event that these requirements are not fulfilled by a tournament team at the time of check in, the MIST has the right to remove that team from the MIST. No refunds will be provided for a team that fails to comply with the requirements as stated below.
- Certified/Validated Team roster (USYSA, US Club): An official league roster must be uploaded. ALL players participating in the tournament MUST be on the roster. Players NOT participating must be crossed off. This applies for coaches as well. All coaches coaching that team for the tournament must be on the roster; and conversely, if they are not, they must be crossed off the roster. Please note that teams SHOULD NOT be entering players on a roster through the MIST GotSport registration platform/roster builder. Tournament rosters MUST be built within YOUR COMMUNITY’S roster builder. Please note that rosters MUST BE UPLOADED AS A PDF. Max Roster Sizes are below:
| Competition Format | Age Group | Birth Year | Max Roster Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 v 7 | U8 – U10 | 2016 – 2018 | 14 |
| 9 v 9 | U11 – U12 | 2014 – 2015 | 16 |
| 11 v 11 | U13 – U15 | 2011 – 2013 | 18 |
- Cards for Players, Guest Players, and Coaches: Player/coach cards must be uploaded for ALL players, including guest players, and coaches participating in the tournament. If a player or coach is not participating, they should not be submitted (or they should be crossed off).
- Lindsay Law Team Roster and MIST Waiver Form: The same players that appear on the roster MUST also appear on this document, including guest players. If there are 12 on the roster with your guest players, those SAME 12 must appear on this waiver.
- Signed Concussion Waiver Form: The MIST requires compliance with the Return to Play law. To monitor compliance, we require that each team entering into the MIST upload the a signed copy of the MIST Concussion Waiver Form, executed by the head coach/manager of each team, attesting that they possess an up to date copy of a valid concussion certificate for each coach that will be on the sidelines at any MIST game (concussion certificates expire after 3 years); that each parent, guardian or other person having care or charge of an individual participating in the MIST has received the Ohio Department of Health Concussion Information Sheet and that each team participating in the MIST has made coaches and parents aware that athletes who are suspected of sustaining a concussion MUST be removed from practice or play; that they are prohibited from returning to play (game or practice) on the same day the athlete is removed on suspicion of having sustained and concussion AND that the athlete may return the following day if cleared IN WRITING by a physician (MD or DO) or other authorized healthcare provider that they did not sustain a concussion.
- Guest Player Loan Form: A guest player for the purposes of the MIST is defined as a player from outside your community. Teams are allowed a maximum of two (2) guest players. Please note that a US Club carded player cannot guest on an OSA carded team and an OSA carded player cannot guest on a US Club carded team. For the purposes of this tournament, a carded player within your community playing on a different age appropriate team is NOT considered to be a guest player. The guest player MUST be written in on your roster and included on your Lindsay Law Team Roster and Waiver Form and PLAYER PASSES FOR GUEST PLAYERS MUST BE UPLOADED AT THE TIME OF TEAM CHECK-IN.
- Permission to Travel Form from your state association if the team is outside of Ohio. US Club teams do NOT need a travel permit. Teams must be in good standing with their Federation Organization.
