FAQs
Q: Are Mass Soccer Rosters Required for the Cup?
A: Yes. Team managers will have a roster in the Mass Soccer account that they will need to build before the Cup freeze date. They can import a copy of their roster from another team or competition or build their roster from scratch. For help with your roster, please contact our registrar at Registrar@Mass-Soccer.org.
Teams must print and bring 2 copies of their Cup Roster for each game they play. These rosters must be given to the referee before the game.
Q: Do I need to have a plastic Mass Soccer Player Card to play?
A: No. The referee will check you in off the game roster. You may show your ID on your phone or you can print a temporary Mass Soccer ID off the website. A Mass Drivers License or any government issued photo ID may also be used to verify your identity.
Q: Who will be our referee/s?
A: Mass Soccer uses our state assigner to select top referees for every Cup game. Opening rounds will be assigned referees. All referees are provided by and paid for by Mass Soccer for the entirety of the Cup.
