        8.  How do I know if my roster has verified birthdays?

An asterisk (*) next to each player’s birthday on your roster indicates that the birthday has been verified.

9.  How do I get my birthdates verified?

Your league registrar is the person who will verify your roster. You will provide the registrar copies of birth certificates and they will complete the process. Once submitted, GYSA will provide an updated roster (one with asterisks) to your league registrar for distribution, unless otherwise instructed.

Please contact your league registrar to allow adequate time to complete the process and get you a new roster.

10.  What does the league registrar do to verify the birthdates?

The registrar has access to the team’s information and will verify that the player’s birthday is accurate as stated on the roster.

        11. Do I have to have this done every year?

Once a birth date has been verified you should not have to do the verification again.
It is important to check, each time that you get a new roster, that the asterisks appear next to the player’s birthday. Sometimes, due to changes in player identification numbers, computer glitches, etc. the asterisks might not appear. It is the responsibility of the team to make sure the asterisks are on the state cup roster.
