Let me break it down for you, tomuchsoccer...its a little difficult, so follow along closely.
"The tournament requires an official signed roster from your state association" - yours, North Tx, ours, South TX. "North TX doesn't allow playups, therefore, their rosters will not have any official younger players. STX does allow play ups, so they can have them on the team roster." From the mouth of the tournament director. The number to call (from the tournament website) with futher questions regarding our rosters is at the bottom of this post.
SOOO...The tournament takes those rosters and checks them. North TX teams will not have any play ups (see above) South Texas teams can/will.
Toomuchsoccer, question for you. Why are you saying that HFC02 used older players in the last tournament? What makes you think that? None of our players were giant, abnormally good or fast (complared to other top 02 teams)? And we lost to your team (it was back and forth there in the finals, but still)... I understand a losing team saying it, but for you, is just a malicious thing or what??
toobookoo4you, In person we visited with the DTS parents and found them to be very nice, and classy - and the players had great manners. The sidelines did get loud and excited, but it was the same for both teams during the game. Afterward, they were a great group of parents and kids. (I guess we didn't meet toomuchsoccer in person because he doesn't seem very nice online.)
