Below are the field requirements for regionals as cut and pasted from this year's regional tournament website...
A. Playing Sites
1. Fields:
· A minimum of 16 fields is required to host.
· Field sizes will be coordinated with RTC.
· All fields will be marked according to FIFA guidelines.
· All fields will be marked prior to the beginning of the tournament and at least one or more time during the tournament if deemed necessary by the RTC.
· Nets, corner flags and markings are the responsibility of the LOC.
2. Trailers:
· Separate trailers will be brought in if needed, as determined by the RTC.
The headquarters trailer will have a copier, office supplies, one (1) phone line and air conditioning. An adequate number of tables and chairs must be provided. The referee trailer must also be air conditioned.
3. Tents:
· Two 20’ x 40’ tents should be available for the referees, along with an adequate number of tables and chairs.
It is preferred that the fields be located at a single site. If multiple sites are necessary, a reasonable distance between playing sites would be expected.
The playing venues should ideally be no more than 30 minutes driving time from team lodging. The site(s) must have good access from major highways in the area and ample parking space for teams, administrators, referees and spectators.
Adequate practice fields, separate from the playing pitches to be used for the tournament, shall be available for all participating teams. These practice fields should be in close proximity to the teams’ lodging facilities.
