General Information
The Baton Rouge Soccer Association (BRSA) conducts the Players' Choice tournament for adult teams registered with the United States Soccer Federation (USSF).  Players' Choice is sanctioned through the Louisiana Soccer Association (LSA) and is for men's and women's open and O-30 teams.  Noticing a lack of adult tournaments in the the region during the fall season, BRSA began the tournament in 2002, and appealed to their members' demands by having full, 90-minute games for Open teams, "unlimited guests," silver goal overtimes, and a 10-point scoring system.  These factors, along with the great competition, food and weather, is what helps lure teams back to Baton Rouge every year.  This year's event will take place on Saturday, November 13 and Sunday, November 14, 2010.

Entry Requirements
Teams wishing to enter Players' Choice must register online and pay the appropriate entry fee by the registration deadline of November 3, 2010.  The entry fee is $450 for Open teams (90 mins. games) and $400 for O-30 teams (70 mins. games). 

All players participating (including guests) must be registered within a USSF-sanctioned league since September 1, 2010.  A player may play for only one open team and one O-30 team in the tournament.  Team rosters are limited to 22 players.  "Unlimited" guest players are allowed to help fill out your roster.  O-30 players must be 30 years of age by November 14, 2010.

Team Check-In
Teams will check-in at the host hotel, Holiday Inn South, on Friday, November 12th, between 7 PM - 10 PM.  During check-in, all teams must present:
    * A finalized team roster with player ID numbers listed for each player 
    * Valid USSF picture ID cards to match their roster for every player (including guests)
    * Teams from outside of Louisiana must also furnish a Travel Permit from their association

Game Information
All teams will be scheduled to play at least three games in an 11v11 format.  Depending on the number of teams in a division, bracket play followed by finals or a round-robin format will be scheduled.  Every effort will be made to form competitive and fair divisions; however the Tournament Director reserves the right to move a team up or down from its requested division if needed.  Games will be played at BREC’s Burbank Soccer Complex.  A 10-point scoring system will be used.

FIFA Laws of the Game will apply except as amended in the Playing Rules.
