Youth Team Check-In Procedure

• Youth teams are required to submit an ISC event roster at check-in prior to their first game. Rosters are frozen once your first game starts.
• Team managers must also present Iowa Soccer Association (ISA) player passes for each player on their roster.  Starting in 2020, we are not requiring ISA rosters.  To review, all youth teams will need ISA player passes and the ISC event roster.
• ISC event rosters can be downloaded under Check-in Materials.
• We ask that teams check-in at least 30 minutes prior to their first game.  The check-in location will be situated directly in front of field #2.

Adult Team Check-in Procedure

• Adult teams are required to submit an ISC event roster at check-in prior to their first game. Rosters are frozen once your first game starts.
• Adult players must also complete an online waiver by Thursday, January 9, 2020 in order to be eligible to play in the Bubble Blowout.
• ISC event rosters and the the adult waiver can be downloaded under Check-in Materials.
• A list of adults that have completed waivers will also be available under Check-in Materials.
• High school teams playing in the Men’s Open or Women’s Open will follow the procedures for youth team check-in listed above even though they are playing in an adult division.

Parking, Field Map and Spectators

• There is no permanent seating in the facility. If you would like to sit while watching games please bring your own chair.
• Parking information and field maps can be downloaded under Maps.

Refunds

• In the event of severe winter weather, our tournament officials may need to call all games.  If all of the games are cancelled for your team, we will issue a 75% refund.
• In some cases, weather conditions may force us to modify the game schedule and possibly cut a game from your team’s schedule.  If only one game of your total games scheduled is cut due to winter weather conditions, no refund will be issued.  Therefore, if the 9U-12U teams play 3 of their scheduled 4 games, no refund will be issued.   If the 13 and Older teams play at least 2 of their 3 scheduled games, no refund will be issued.
