TOURNAMENT INFORMATION

 

2009 COWTOWN CLASSIC TOURNAMENT

      Baylor SportsCare

We are pleased to have Baylor SportsCare as our tournament athletic trainers. These trainers will be at the Benbrook and Rolling Hills complexes to serve your needs. The Rolling Hills trainer will serve the FWISD fields as well.  They will handle any injuries during the tournament, as well as be available for pre-match taping and advice.

  • All schedules have been posted since early this morning (Tues., May 5).

    That web site, again, is:  http://www.gotsport.com/events/default.aspx?EventID=6225

    There were some changes to a few games and several field assignments.

    Please check your schedule again at this time.

  • Swine Flu Notice (as of 6:00 pm, 4/30/09)-

    The FWYSA Cowtown Classic Tournament is scheduled for May 8-10.  FWYSA is closely watching health advisories for outdoor game play recommendations, including any direction from the North Texas State Soccer Association (NTSSA) and other state health authorities. 

    Until further notice on this site the event WILL GO ON as planned.

    Remember to continue to exercise sensible but appropriately increased precautions to limit unnecessary exposure during games.  For example: don’t share personal items like water bottles, use verbal congratulations instead of high-five lines after games, spectators be courteous when coughing amongst others, keep sick players and family members home, sanitize hands after games and occasionally.  Have fun, but use good common sense!

  • Application

  • Information Sheet

  • Invitation Letter

  • Sanctioning Form

  • Area Hotels.

    • Note that you are welcome to use any hotel of your preference.  This list is provided only for your convenience.  These hotels are not required or even necessarily recommended.  Just informational.

    • The Radisson South (very near Rolling Hills) has a special package for the tournament ($79 per room).  Click here for more information.

    • U8s play at Benbrook.  U9s and U10s play at West Side.  All U11s and up play at either Rolling Hills (15 fields), Benbrook (5 fields), or West Park (4 fields).  We do not determine the matching of the older divisions to particular fields until we know how many teams are in the respective divisions (shortly after the deadline for applications some 10 or so days before the tournament).  Most of the fields are in the southwest portion of Ft. Worth (along the SW Loop of I-20 and I-820).  However, Rolling Hills does have many more fields than West Park and Benbrook combined.

 

GENERAL TOURNAMENT INFORMATION

  • Team check-in will be at your fields before your first game.  You must bring one copy of your roster and any guest player forms.  You will need to leave these copies with the site coordinator.  Select teams must have notarized medical releases for all players (including guest players).  These will be checked.  Recreational teams should bring the same medical releases they use for their league play.  Recreational team medical releases do not have to be notarized.

  • During the tournament, official results are kept on the field.  In divisions with quarter-finals, semi-finals, and/or finals, each team should be certain that a team representative is available at your field to confirm if you are advancing.  Scores recorded on the web site Saturday night (often very late)  are unofficial.  Please inform us if you notice a score incorrectly typed on the web site.

The receipt of applications for tournaments is a very fluid and unpredictable process.  The bulk of entries typically come within the last days before the deadline.  Thus, it is impossible for us to even guess-timate the number and names of teams in a particular division until the deadline for entries.  We hope to be able to add teams through the deadline, though you should submit your entry as soon as possible.  We will post a listing of teams as soon after the deadline as possible.  The best indication of the size of typical brackets is the list of teams from the previous tournament, though these can vary greatly from year-to-year.  You can find several lists of teams and results from previous tournaments at our archive web page or on our tournament page:
