Wristbands
The Team Manager will be provided with wristbands for the number of registered players in their team. Given that some clubs may have teams in multiple age categories it must be ensured that players are not swapped between teams. All players are therefore required to wear their wristband to be eligible to play. The wristband provided to each player is to last the duration of the entire event (do not take them off).
In the case of a broken or cut wristband, the Player and Team Manager are to report at the CCIC Officials desk with the broken wristband to be re-confirmed and re-registered at least 60mins prior to their next game. There will be a charge of $5 per re-registration as we need to ensure player eligibility.

Teams who field players who are not registered to their team/age category may lose all points for that game and be suspended from the competition.

The Registration of Players, including proof of age, is mandatory and must be undertaken in line with the timelines set by the tournament organisers. Players are allowed to play up to 2 years up at the discretion of the team's coach and player's parents in respect to the player's ability and physicality.

Team Kits 
Teams are to include their home and away kit colours in Cup Manager, in case a team does not have an away kit they must bring a set of bibs to use in case of a colour clash.

Each player is to be assigned one unique shirt number for the duration of the tournament.
