Announcements:

As with past SALSA tournaments, Age Specific Divisions will be from U-9 through U-14 for Girls and U-9 through U-19 for Boys. Age Divisions U-9 through U-11 Divisions will play 8 v 8.

SALSA Rules Exceptions:

U15 - 8th Graders: Players must play in their own age group or up. No player can play down unless they qualify based on their legal age. SALSA Exception: Players who are a) in the 8th grade, b) required to register as Under-15 due to their legal age, and c) registered to play on an Under-15 team, may play in an Under-14 Division. Further, Teams playing in the SALSA Under-14 Divisions shall have no more than three (3) Under-15, 8th Grade players included on the team's tournament roster.

Players playing on multiple teams: Players are allowed play on multiple teams during the tournament as either a rostered or guest player. The only restriction is that a player shall not play for teams that are bracketed within the same tournament division. In other words, a player cannot play for two teams that may play each other during a Round Robin/Semi/Finals match.
