HOW MANY PLAYERS CAN I HAVE ON MY ROSTER?
The maximum number of players on the roster for any given tournament is SIX. Teams playing more than 6 players during the course of an event will be disqualified.
HOW ARE TOURNAMENT BRACKETS FORMED?
3v3 Futsal Wars takes registration based upon both birth year and skill level. Tournament directors then use this and any other information available (including a team’s previous results) to form the most competitive brackets possible at each tournament.
When registering for local events – each age group includes two choices for registration; a higher bracket and a lower bracket. Teams that consider themselves to be more competitive should select the higher bracket and teams that consider themselves to be less competitive should select the lower bracket.
Please note that a player may play in a division older than his/her age, but not in a younger division.
