CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS TOURNAMENTS

• This is a two-day tournament. Barring any weather issues, finals will end mid afternoon on Sunday, October 11, 2009.
• This is a not a patch tournament-teams will not exchange patches at the end of each game. The Harvest Cup will provide a full set of tournament patches to each team/coach at field check-in.
• BYSA is collecting non perishable foods items from all participating teams which will be donated to local food pantries. We would appreciate it if each team would bring a small selection of NON perishable food items to field check-in. Ideally, these items will be collected at field check-in but a tournament volunteer (red tee shirts) can take them at any point during the tournament.
• Only on line registrations will be accepted this year. No exceptions.
• Competition begins at 8:00 AM Saturday, October 10, 2009, and will continue through finals on Sunday, October 11, 2009.

General Tournament Information

This tournament is best suited to competitive town travel teams, low-level MAPLE (Colors) or premier clubs only. Applicants are invited from those soccer teams that are duly registered with their state affiliate of the United States Youth Soccer Association. In addition, coaches may create a tournament team as long as each player and coach (maximum 2 coaches per team) is registered with MYSA or the appropriate organization from your state. Each player must have a pass card or birth certificate to present at field check-in. All teams must present a league or club approved roster at the time of field check-in. All teams must adhere to US Youth Soccer travel procedures. Out of state teams must present a 'permission to travel' form approved by their state organization at field check-in.
