*****ALL FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL COVID-19 GUIDELINES WILL BE FOLLOWED. THE TOURNAMENT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE TO ENSURE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF EVERYONE INVOLVED****
As of December 17, 2020 MA COVID-19 regulations specify that facility operators & activity organizers may only allow MA based teams & MA based athletes to participate in activities at Massachusetts based facilities.
Due to this regulation no teams or players outside of MA may register at the present time. Should this regulation be changed prior to the event, BSG will consider opening registration to out of state teams and/or players. Please check this page for any updates.
Entry Fee: $325 per team
Late Fee: $25 (February 1)
Registration Deadline: February 26, 2021
**In the event that futsal is cancelled and cannot be rescheduled, your sport registration fee will be refunded. The nominal registration processing fee unfortunately cannot be refunded as those costs are incurred immediately upon registration through credit card companies and our third-party registration vendor.

All athletes and teams must meet the following criteria:
- A full time student or resident in Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island & New York
- NOTE: Travel restrictions may apply for out-of-state participants and will be strictly enforced
- As of December 17, 2020, no out of state teams will be permitted to register due to MA state regulations
Registration
A team captain will register the team as a whole. As CAPTAIN, enter your personal info, your Team Name and Secret Team Code, then pay the entry fee for your team. As team CAPTAIN, you are registered. However, each TEAM MEMBER must also register for the event.
A link for the TEAM MEMBERS to register will be included in your registration confirmation email for you to forward to your TEAM. They should select the TEAM MEMBER registration category, select your team name and enter the secret code you have designated.
If you are a parent/guardian entering several forms for each of your family TEAM MEMBERS, after you register yourself as CAPTAIN, then use the option to enter ANOTHER FORM for each TEAM MEMBER you are registering.
