A player who arrives late at the playing field after the pre-match procedure may enter the match once the match’s official(s) verify the player is eligible and with the permission of the center referee.
Player eligibility may be challenged by an opposing manager/coach in unusual circumstances. Challenged player(s) will be noted by the Referee on the match report and will be allowed to participate in the match (if said player has been certified as eligible by the Presidents' Day Tournament Credentials Committee).
A late-arriving player may be challenged at the time he/she is allowed to participate by the Referee. Any team using an ineligible player will forfeit all-tournament matches past, present, and future. A report will be filed with the offending team’s National Organization or National State Association. If you are not sure of a player’s eligibility ask, in writing, the Tournament Director.
