PRE-GAME: Printing the GotSport Game Card

  1. Click here to login to your account.
  2. Click on Team Management.
  3. Click on Matches on the left menu.
  1. Use the filters if needed to narrow your search based on your teams and events.
  2. After filtering to your schedule, locate the game in question and click the icon next to the game.
  1. In the menu that appears, click the “Print Match Card” option. In the resulting pop-up, choose Standard and click Export.
    • DO NOT CHOOSE THE PHOTO OPTION. THIS IS NOT THE VERSION NEEDED FOR CONFERENCE GAMES.
  2. Print the game card that opens in a new tab and bring this to the fields, along with your player passes and your state official roster.
  3. Once at the fields, you will need to put a line through any player that is not playing in the match to ensure your match day squad is no more than 18 players.
    • Any players or coaches that are ineligible to play or coach due to a red card in the previous game MUST be crossed out on the game card to serve as proof that they served the automatic one-game suspension. Player name write ins on the game card are NOT permitted under any circumstances.
  4. Meet up with the opposition team prior to the match to consolidate Game Cards. Coaches should destroy the duplicate Game Card. Present the official Game Card to the match officials.
  5. Player cards should be shown to the referee during check in then placed by the referee bag at the half line upon completion of check in.
