Tournaments
Disney Tournaments and Showcases are still being administered through GotSoccer. Online Check-In is mandatory.
Tournament Website - there is a different site from the registration one and has the Waiver links.
Roster in GotSoccer - Disney wants the player list in GotSoccer to match your official roster. We are trying to keep them in sync but contact Cheryl if you are missing a player. Do not add players yourself.
Coaches in GotSoccer - We cannot add the coach to the "roster" in GotSoccer but they can be added to the tournament Application.
Official Roster - your association roster is still your official roster (from GotSport or TGS). That PDF is what will be uploaded. Be sure the coaches are listed.
Disney Waivers - the waiver has grown to 5 pages! You need a waiver for every player as well as the coaches and manager. There is a minor waiver and an adult waiver. You will be given entry passes for as many waivers as you submit, usually with a limit of 3 for staff. You want to make sure you submit a waiver for yourself so you receive an entry pass.
Player Waiver suggestion
The middle pages are the same for everyone, you really only need to collect the first and last page.
- Send a PDF of the waiver to parents.
- Have them print the first and last pages, fill and sign, and return a hard copy to you at a practice or a game.
- When you have a complete set, put them in alphabetical order.
- Scan them with a scanner or phone app into a PDF, scan the same 3 middle pages for each player to make each waiver complete.
- Save as one PDF file.
This avoids a mix of PDFs and JPGs from parents submitting them to you by email. However, if that is a more viable option for you, go ahead and request the waivers be returned by email. You could also print pages 1 and 5 and have them for parents to fill at practice.
Disney Entry Tickets - Disney is using a GotSport ticket system. This allows you to distribute tickets to player GotSport accounts. The problem with this is that the GotSport accounts are transparent to the parents as they do not use the login. You will be contacted about distributing the tickets. The easiest option is:
- you accept all the tickets for yourself, print them and distribute them to the players/parents. Your name will appear on the ticket.
- To keep track of the tickets, write the player's name on the ticket and take a picture or make note of the ticket number and player. Then if anyone misplaces theirs you have a record of which ticket went to that player.
Parking - there is no charge for general parking at WWS, there is a drop-off zone closer to the complex.
IMPORTANT: Parent/Family Tickets - I don't know the current situation but last month's Disney tournaments required all Wide World of Sports tickets to be purchased online, there was no box office. Please let parents know this and have them purchase their tickets ahead of time. Tickets can be purchased on their phones if they arrive and need one but the system can be glitchy.
Troubleshooting -
- if you have any problems with the waiver upload, let me know. I have Acrobat Pro and can rearrange pages or split a document whose file size is too large.
- if your roster changes after the initial upload, you'll contact the tournament and upload a new file (the registrars can help).
