Guest Player and Replacement Player Policy
All teams shall be allowed to have up to four (4) Guest Players with a maximum roster of eighteen (18) except in the Super Group which may have a maximum roster of twenty two (22). USA teams will also be allowed to have Replacement Players that are lost due to any USSF/USYSA/USCS programs (National, Regional, ODP, etc.) that conflict in time with the Dallas Cup tournament dates. Written confirmation from the teams governing body of any conflict in time must be provided to the Dallas Cup office. All Guest Players/Replacement Players must meet the following criteria: 1) must be approved for participation by their respective governing body [USA teams] or by the provincial association of their national federation [International teams]; 2) must be a registered player with the appropriate governing body [USA teams]or provincial association of their national federation [International teams]; 3) may not be selected from any other team that is participating in the tournament, nor from any team designated as an "alternate pool" team. If a Guest/Replacement player is selected from any team which is subsequently invited to participate in the tournament, the player must return to his original team. If a Guest/Replacement player participates in a tournament match and the player’s original team is subsequently invited to participate, said player must remain with the team for which he played the tournament match.
HOMESTAY PROGRAM
*International teams may request the Dallas Cup HomeStay program (for players only). The program, which places players in the homes of local soccer families, is available on a limited basis but is not guaranteed until confirmed by the Dallas Cup. Requests for the HomeStay program should be made as early as possible. Teams from Canada, Mexico and the USA are not eligible for the HomeStay program.
*The HomeStay Program, at no cost to the international team, includes sleeping arrangements and two (2) meals per day for a maximum of eighteen (18) players except in the Super Group where the maximum is twenty two (22). The international team is responsible for local transportation, the cost of hotel rooms and meals for all adults, any additional meals for the players and all entertainment costs for the entire delegation.
*The local transportation is to be in the form of van, bus or car rental sufficient to transport the entire delegation and luggage.
*Teams that are approved for the HomeStay Program should arrive in Dallas on the Friday prior to the tournament week and must end their stay the Monday morning following the conclusion of the tournament. The HomeStay Program will not exceed 10 nights. If a team wishes to arrive earlier or stay later, they are responsible for all additional costs involved.
*International teams requesting the HomeStay Program must indicate this request on their application form. International teams must also indicate if they will still participate if the HomeStay Program is not available.
*International teams that are approved for the HomeStay Program will be given detailed information upon notification of invitation to participate in the tournament.
*Should you need to correct or change any information once the application has been submitted or if you wish to provide the Selection Committee with any additional information, contact Randy Jones via email with the information. DO NOT SUBMIT ANOTHER APPLICATION!
