USSSA Baseball Coaches and Parents,

Tomorrow, Thursday, February 10th, 2011 all rosters in the 6u-14u ages will be 
LOCKED. As a result, any changes that need to be made to your roster will need 
to be done by the Florida USSSA Baseball State office. Changes will ONLY be made 
on each Thursday every week. All roster change requests MUST be emailed to 
Roster@FloridaUtrip.com by Thursday at 8 am of each week. Emails sent in after 8 
am on Thursday will not be guaranteed and that player may be ineligible that 
weekend if you plan to play in a USSSA event. Also, any requests sent to any 
other email address cannot be honored.
 
Due to the complexity and amount of time required to "clean up the rosters" 
there will be a grace period of two weeks. This will take full affect on 
Thursday, February 24, 2011
 
1). Any player who appears on more then one roster in the same age group will be 
ineligible and the offending team will forfeit that game.
 
2). Any player participating in a USSSA event who is not on the team roster will 
be considered ineligible and the offending team will forfeit that game.
 
3). It is the coaches responsibility to "clean up their roster, not the state 
office"
 
4). Procedure for team questioning another teams roster will be to submit a $100 
protest fee during the game while the player in question is participating. If 
the player is ineligible the $100 fee will be returned, the team will forfeit 
the game and the player will be ineligible for the weekend. If this matter is 
brought to our attention prior to the game or in a non protest manner it will be 
the tournament director's (or site director's) RESPONSIBILITY AND DUTY to notify 
the offending coach and the team WILL NOT be penalized for that weekend. The 
player however will be deemed ineligible and cannot play that weekend . 
 
5). Any coach who the state office considers is trying to circumvent the roster 
restriction rule by misspelling the players name or changing the date of birth 
may be suspended for up to 30 days or more. Additionally the player may be 
suspended for up to 30 days or more. Parents need to take responsibility in 
ensuring there child's information is put into the USSSA system properly. 
(Parents may ask the team manager to print the 
 
6). Any manager and/or player NOT in compliance with the USSSA Player Rules & 
Florida Supplemental Rules will be subject to suspension. Ignorance is not an 
excuse.
 
7). Please do not call the office regarding roster issues. It is important that 
you forward questions or comments via email to info@FloridaUtrip.com. 
 
8). Information required for a roster change.
A). Team name and age along with player's first and last name for release (from 
releasing team manager)
B). Team name and age along with player's first and last name as it is on the 
birth certificate along with date of birth.
C). It is important you do not wait until the last minute to handle your roster 
business. Additionally, if a coach will not release a player, the PARENT will 
need to send an email to our office coping the former coach asking for a 
release.
D). Coaches cannot refuse to release a player, we simply feel it is a courtesy 
to notify you. Players are not team/coach property.
