IMPORTANT NOTICE –Applications from out-of-town teams will not be accepted until a hotel booking is confirmed through our official housing partner, THS, by the registration deadline. We strongly encourage interested teams to proactively secure their accommodations well in advance of this deadline, as any unreserved rooms blocked for the tournament may be released to the general public approximately 3 weeks prior to the event. We also advise designating a single point of contact to manage the team’s accommodations efficiently.

The first games could take place as early as 2:00 PM on Friday and the last games could take place as late as Sunday 9:00 PM start time. All out-of-town teams will need to book a Friday and Saturday night stay in order to participate in the event.

Please view the full WMF rules below.

IMPORTANT - Parent and Spectator Conduct

Parent and spectator misconduct will not be tolerated during any futsal tournament games. Coaches are responsible for the behavior of their team’s supporters, including parents and spectators.

If inappropriate behavior occurs, the following steps will be taken:

1. First Offense: The referee will issue a verbal warning to the offending team’s coach.

2. Second Offense: The referee may issue a caution (yellow card) to the coach.

3. Third Offense: The referee may eject the coach (red card) from the match.

If a team does not have a remaining registered coach on the bench following an ejection, the team will forfeit the match.

We expect all parents and spectators to maintain a positive and respectful environment that promotes sportsmanship and the spirit of competition.
