General FAQs
Q: What are the tournament dates?
A: Tournament play starts Thursday, August 4, through Saturday, August 6. Most pool-play games are played on Thursday and Friday, with semi-final and final games on Saturday. Mandatory team registration/check-in is Tuesday, August 2, 4:00-8:00pm at Newpark Hotel in Kimball Junction, just off the I-80 Park City exit. Out-of-state and travel teams may request special arrangements for later check-in from the Tournament Director.
Q: Are High School girls allowed to play?
A: Yes. The following is an official statement from UHSAA (out of state teams need to check with their state High School Association):
Even though practice and tryouts for High School Girls Soccer may begin August 1, 2011, girls are eligible to play with a team other than their high school team through August 8, 2011 which would include the Park City Extreme Cup Tournament scheduled for August 4-6, 2011 without jeopardizing their ability to play High School soccer, under the following conditions:
- They play with their club team (they may not play as an organized high school team),
- Their High School coach may not coach their club team or coach them in the tournament. and
- They must have permission from their High School Coach to play with their club team in the tournament (this would be a team requirement not a UHSAA requirement).
Application FAQs
Q: What age group should I register my team as?
A: There are two age groups that GotSoccer uses – the age group for a Team, and the age group for an Event. The Team age group is something that is specified when you create a GotSoccer team account and must be the current age group of the team (e.g., today’s age). The Event age group is something that is specific to a tournament and for the 2011 Park City Extreme Cup must be your Fall 2011 age. The Team age group is automatically rolled forward by GotSoccer on August 1 of each year. Once you have a GotSoccer team account, you can log in and make changes to your team profile, including the age group, at any time.
Q: Why does the GotSoccer application specify the wrong age group for my team?
A: When your application is completed, an incorrect age group may show up on the Payment or Confirmation page. This might happen if you entered the wrong age for your team when you created the team account. The age group of your team must be the age at the time the application is filled out and this will almost always be one year younger than the age group they will play in the tournament. See the previous FAQ for more information. If the application shows the wrong age group, just ignore this and make sure your email confirmation specifies the correct age group you will play in the tournament.
Q: What do Gold, Silver, and Bronze competition levels mean?
A: The competition level is intended to provide a general indication of team strength and is used to help create divisions within age groups. The level requested by a team is not a guarantee that they will play in that division. Gold is the most competitive level and will typically have all Premier and upper Division 1 teams. Silver will have mostly Division 1 and 2 teams and Bronze will be the least competitive. There won’t always be a Bronze level because some age groups won’t have enough teams.
Q: How should I complete the Additional Information for a new team?
A: Most of the Additional Information section of the application is aimed at placing teams in the appropriate competitive division. Choose the competition level (Gold/Silver/Bronze) that you think you will best compete at. For the most recently completed season of play, select the Division you will be playing in the fall, and enter 0 for wins, losses and ties. You can add any relevant information in the area reserved for Requests.
