I got a notice over the weekend that an upcoming Arizona tournament is now requiring Cal-South Travel papers.
Here is the email message:

"We were just informed by ASA that Cal South is requiring their teams to have a travel permission document. There were issues here recently at another tournament where Cal south teams were trying to play on 19/20 passes so Cal South has just recently implemented this.

Here is the link to submit for your teams travel permission.

https://calsouth.com/travel-papers/

From what we have been told from ASA, each team will then receive an approved roster and travel permission document.
The travel document and approved roster will then need to uploaded as part of our check in process.

Please submit for your teams travel permission ASAP so you receive the document back by the Nov 2nd check in deadline.

This is taken directly from the Cal South website regarding travel:
Travel will only be authorized for those clubs; affiliates; teams; players; administrators; etc., who are properly registered with Cal South for the current registration year and who have demonstrated compliance with all Cal South requirements."

The requirement for travel papers is nothing new. What the new Cal South message seems to be saying is that they are trying to make it easier for teams to get them.
 
Over the past few years (from what I have seen) neighboring states have not required Cal-South Travel papers. To me, this looks like Cal-South trying to make sure that clubs/teams/players are properly registered for the 20/21 season.

It's the oldest rule in the book.

Actually, it's not - I just love the opportunity to say that.

Cal South making sure they get "paid" those registration fees.

What those registration fees pay for is an assurance that the tournament is legitimate and to be protected by Cal South's insurance provider. What the tournament gets is Cal South's recognition that the team and players are in good standing and of appropriate age.

Correct

Most tournaments take USclub teams that have current USclub players cards, medical releases, and a USclub tournaments roster without needing any travel papers from a home state.

For out of state teams some tournaments require approved travel papers from the teams home state association if there not with something nation wide like USclub.

Back in the day, one of my kids was a loan player on another Cal South club's team for an out of state tournament sanctioned by US Club Soccer. To simplify all the paperwork, the team manager just had all the players register with US Club Soccer and registered the team also. After that, since they were all now US Club Soccer players on a US Club Soccer team, no travel papers were required.

The stupid thing about travel papers is that it is simply a way for the state association to charge a team $25 bucks to play out of state. Not sure what they charge in CA, but that is what the AZ association wanted a few yrs back.

It is not like they are going to deny you either. Are they thinking hmmm...I wonder if we should let team X play in a tournament in Vegas? No of course not. The thinking is make them apply and pay us $25 to get a piece of paper.

Am I missing something? No mention of $25 in the instructions here --
