Application FAQs
Q: How do I register for the Extreme Cup?
The 2024 Extreme Cup is using the GotSport tournament platform. If you do not have a GotSport account, you will be required to create one during registration. Your current GotSoccer account will not work in GotSport. Click Here for complete instructions on GotSport registration.
Q: In what age group should I register my team?
The 2024 Park City Extreme Cup will align its age groups with 2024-25 Club play, based on the US Youth Soccer Calendar Year mandate. When registering for the Extreme Cup, teams should make sure they specify their team's Fall 2024 age as the age group they will play in the tournament.
Q: What Competitive Division Should I Choose for my team?
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 any particular division. The Selection Committee relies primarily on team records from previous play to guide the selection and placement process. Generally speaking, Platinum and/or Gold is the most competitive level and will have mostly Premier or upper Division 1 teams. Silver and/or Bronze will have mostly Division 1 and 2 teams, while Bronze and/or Copper will be the least competitive. The number of divisions within an age group will be determined only after registration closes.
Q: How should I complete the Additional Information on the application?
Most of the Additional Information section of the application is aimed at placing teams in the appropriate competitive division. Choose the competition level (Most Competitive, Competitive, Least Competitive) that you think best fits your team. For the most recent season of play, select the Division you are currently playing in or most recently completed. If you are a brand new team, you should note this on the application and enter information based on where you expect the team to be placed in the coming season. You can add any relevant information in the area reserved for Requests.
Q: If I pay our entry fee by credit card, when will my card be charged?
Credit Cards are not run until your team has been accepted to the tournament. This could be as early as May 1. PLEASE NOTE: Credit card number and information must be received by the registration deadline of June 19 or your team may be considered ineligible for acceptance.

Q: What is the Tournament Roster?
UYSA Teams: Your tournament roster is generated through the Affinity System. Detailed information for creating this roster can be found on the Team Check In page on this website. It lists the names and photographs of the players playing with your team. All players and coaches participating in the tournament, including guest players, must appear on this tournament roster.
Non-UYSA Teams: Your tournament roster can be generated through GotSoccer or through your home state software. All players and coaches participating in the tournament, including guest players, must appear on this tournament roster. If you are using player cards, this roster does NOT need to include photos.
Q: What is the Player Participation Form?
This is the UYSA Registration Form that each UYSA team should have for their players and provides consent for medical treatment. It is the form that is generated when a player registers with UYSA and may be found on the Documents & Forms tab of this website.

for each Player at check in?
NO! We no longer require a signed copy to be present at check-in. But it must be present at all games.

Both UYSA and Non-UYSA affiliated teams must have a Guest Player form for every guest player that will participate in the tournament. This is the UYSA “Specialty Player Action Form” and may be found on the Documents & Forms tab of this website. Both the Player Information section and Section 1 must be completed and the form signed.
If you have a tournament only guest player, you must submit an electronic copy of their tournament only player card with your roster. This serves as their guest player verification - they do not need a Specialty Action form as they do not have a current team/coach.

Guest players from out-of-state playing with a Utah team are required by UYSA to have a "Permission To Play In A Neighboring State" form. This form is in addition to the “Specialty Player Action” form and may be found on the Documents & Forms tab of this website This form may take up to two weeks to process, so team managers should plan accordingly.
If you are uncertain, please contact the tournament registrar for more information about the requirements for these players and the "Permission to Play in a Neighboring State" form.
Q: What are the paperwork requirements for out-of-state teams?
Teams from Region IV are required to bring their official state roster, their tournament roster, player cards, and medical release forms; they are not required to bring Team Travel Papers.
