• Legitimacy – By affiliating with OASA, your tournament becomes a part of the larger US Adult Soccer and United States Soccer Federation family of events. Affiliation with these recognizable national soccer institutions lends legitimacy to your brand and draws players who are familiar with the quality of OASA, USASA, and USSF events.
• Publicity – Your tournament will be advertised on the OASA website, the OASA Facebook page, and in the OASA office. OASA registers over 6000 players every year, and local teams look to us for information on upcoming events. (Tournaments are often included in OASA newsletter email blasts – 11,000 email addresses and counting).
• Liability Insurance – Gain access to premium liability insurance coverage specifically designed to satisfy the requirements of all of your field/facility operators and owners.
• Player Protection – Every registered OASA player is covered by the USASA participant accident insurance plan, which ensures that every player has some baseline level of coverage should they sustain an injury during your event.
• Player Tracking and Control – By registering your players through OASA, you can ensure that no player currently serving a suspension through a local league will be allowed to participate in your event. Moreover, your referees can prevent any player ejected during a tournament match from participating further until an appropriate “suspension” or other “sanction” has been satisfied by confiscating that player's pass.

1. All players must be registered through a USSF/FIFA affiliated entity such as OASA, OYSA, WSASA, etc.
2. Each player must sign a waiver, and those under 18 years of age must also submit a parental liability waiver.
3. All referees must be registered with USSF, or if from outside the US, be given written permission to attend by their FIFA association.
4. The referee assignor must be a USSF registered referee assignor.
5. Event organizers must submit the tournament details to OASA, including dates, format, location, and any additional related information, by the deadline (if a deadline is applicable).
6. Applicable permits and licenses (particularly field permits) must be obtained for your event and copies should be provided to OASA prior to the tournament.
7. Submit a post-tournament report to OASA within 7 days of event conclusion, containing the following:
   1. A list of any players who received red cards during the tournament, including their player card numbers
   2. Copies of the waiver forms, including parental waivers for any players under 18 (as referenced above)
   3. A report detailing the number of participating teams, including contact information for each team manager
   4. A written report from the referee of any game in which injuries occurred noting details of the incident
   5. Any other unusual incidents or items of interest should also be reported
   6. OASA may require referee reports for each game; you will be notified in advance if this is to be the case

Tournament Passes

If you are concerned that many of your participants may not be currently registered through an affiliated entity and that the cost of an OASA player might be prohibitive, consider offering tournament passes. OASA can provide special passes specifically designed for your event. These tournament passes cost $20 and would be valid ONLY for play in your event. (Players have the option to upgrade their tournament pass to a full membership by paying the balance.)

If you wish to offer these special tournament passes for your players, please contact the OASA office to make arrangements. You can also review the policy on Special Player Passes for Tournaments for more information. In order to be considered, your request for tournament passes must be submitted at least 30 days prior to the tournament start date, as specified in the policy.
