Please refer to League Rules https://www.thefloridaleague.org/rules regarding Disciplinary Actions, Protests and Appeals.

New Updated SunshineLeagues.org (unified across all leagues) Rule Book to be published soon

​

Priority is for kids to play the game.

Do not call the League to protest from the field!

Play the game, gather the documentation, and file a protest if you believe there are grounds for it.​​​

TFL (and all leagues) now ACCEPT both VIRTUAL IDs and laminated passes. Proper Laminated passes look like these.

What is and what IS NOT a proper "Virtual ID":

• Virtual IDs are swipeable smartphone versions of Player Passes that serve as a direct link to the Player Passes in GotSport. GotSport generates them and serves as a live representation of the player's passes, including suspensions and removal from the team.

• PDF files, photos, scans, slideshows, or any other attempt to present something to you as a Virtual ID should NOT BE ACCEPTED and should be reported to the League immediately.

• Referee education is everyone's job; spread the word. Not every event accepts these, and if abuse is not eradicated before it even starts, these will go away as fast as they appeared.

• A player CAN NEVER BE HANDWRITTEN ON THE ROSTER !!!

​

Laminated passes are still accepted, but Virtual IDs are preferred. 

Proper Laminated passes look like these.

Virtual IDs, see above.

Best option: save paper, save laminations, avoid forfeits, use Photo Match Cards in color (and Digital Rosters soon). Make everyone's job easier and ensure referees actually check the players in properly,

​

How do I access my Team's Virtual IDs?

• Accessing Virtual Cards as a Coach or Manager - Mobile Phone

• Accessing Virtual Cards as a Coach or Manager - Browser

​

What is NOT A VIRTUAL ID:

• Anything other than laminated passes or PROPER Virtual ID as described above IS NOT ACCEPTABLE

• A photo of a pass IS NOT A Virtual ID

• A screenshot IS NOT a Virtual ID​​​

​

Photo Match Cards should be used and should be printed in color. If the referee can identify all players/coaches from the Photo Match Card, they can bypass the Player Passes check.

​

The pre-game procedure shall be as follows: 

• Each coach or team manager shall present two copies of the GotSport Match Cards to the referee. Both the “home” team and the “away” team shall provide two (2) copies each. At the end of the game, a copy of the Game Card provided by the opposing team, showing which players from the opposing team participated, will be given to each coach, and one copy will be kept by the referee.

• The referee shall verify the identity of each player using their photo and also that of each team's coach, all assistant coaches, and/or the team manager. Only carded coaches and team managers are allowed on the player (bench) side of the field. A maximum of 3 staff per team on the bench; only 1 staff member is allowed to convey instructions to the players on the field.

• Digital, paperless rosters coming soon.​​​​​

A player may be rostered to multiple teams within the same affiliate at one time during a seasonal year. FYSA sanctioned competitions may adopt rules to allow the use of Primary 1 players (formerly known as Club Pass players) up to the maximum roster size:

A. 13U – 19U teams – Total roster size, including club pass players, is capped at twenty-two ( 22). Teams shall name eighteen (18) eligible players for each game.

B. 11U – 12U teams – Total roster size, including club pass players, is capped at sixteen (16).

C. U8 - U10 teams - Total roster size, including club pass players, is capped at twelve (12).

C. A player may only participate with a maximum of two (2) teams per day.

D. A player may not participate in more than two games per day, whether for one team or two different teams.
