[quote=Heloise][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Arch]We were surprised when at the first game there was no check-in of the players by the referees -- it did seem like you could field anyone as long as they wore the right shirt. Then, during matches, a tournament official sometimes would come ask parents to help confirm which players were there or not etc.

I am sure it's not easy running a tournament and getting enough volunteers. Maybe there was a check-in process for teams but coaches/teams didn't get the message and/or chose to ignore it. Who knows.  But to any teams, coaches, families purposely trying to cheat that is indeed shameful.[/quote]

We don’t do check-ins at tournaments. The managers “check in” for the tournament, and field staff keep rosters on hand in case someone raises a question.

We also check equipment on the fly, looking for shin guards and jewelry.

I think it’s just a function of fields being booked solid. No time. [/quote]

Some tournaments manage to check rosters at least before a final.  At the risk of semi-outing myself, our team played in a final this weekend where parents of the other team freely admitted during the first half of the game that they were cheating their roster (and how they were doing it).  When it was brought to the attention of the field marshall at halftime, he literally shrugged and walked away.[/quote]
