Teams MUST submit rosters 2 weeks before the first day of pool play. Any violation of this requirement will result in removal from playoff/bracket play.
All teams are subject to play at any time at tournament director's request.
Full payment is due on February 1, 2026. Your registration into this tournament is not guaranteed or secured until full payment is received. Teams who have registered and have not paid in full by February 1, 2026 are subject to being replaced by another fully paid registrant if other payment options have not been made.
This is a turf college field. No metal spikes are allowed anywhere on campus along with sunflower seeds. Any violation of this rule, teams will be subject to removal from that event.
There is a parking fee to enter campus daily through the year. This is NOT a Firecracker Sports policy and unfortunately there is no way to turn off those state issued cameras. This is a state policy for higher education and not dictated by USM Athletics or Firecracker Sports.
Simply stated, if your team is traveling 75 miles or more to the event’s destination city, your team MUST stay at one of the approved tournament partner hotels. Teams are required to designate a representative to block off rooms for their team through OUR hotel portal and/or staff. We do not have a full “stay to play” policy but we do require 75% of your families/coaches to stay with one of our partner hotels through our website.
Couple of important notes:
We do have a waiver policy, if teams do NOT want to book through us but want to participate in our events. Those teams will pay a waiver of $750.00 per team, in addition to their registration fee. The waiver fee will be added to your invoice once requested.
Prior to schedule release, if teams are not in compliance according to our hotel policies, they can stay in the event if the waiver is paid in full or they will not be scheduled for the event.
