Division II registered teams that are not adding any players need only to obtain player passes from the MSA office and use their existing roster.

Any player registered on a Division 1 Roster and was transferred back to a D3 Recreation Roster prior to Feburary 28 of the current Seasonal Year, may participate in State Games.

Any Division 1 player that transfers back to Division 3 after February 27 of the current Seasonal Year is NOT eligible for State Games.

Dual registered teams (teams comprised of players from multiple teams) must pay a secondary registration fee and obtain player passes from MSA. You may create your State Games roster using the Division II E-pass system. The roster will be reviewed and released after the applicable fees are paid.

Contact the MSA office directly for roster or player pass issues.
