We have played out of state recently and Cal South did not charge us for the travel papers. The tournament (in AZ) did not require them but I was told Cal South does. Nobody ever asked to see them.
His point was that AZ was using the process to make a little extra money by charging for the paperwork. Calsouth does not charge for the process but it is a bureaucratic paperwork generating process that requires you to register players with Calsouth where they do charge about $27 bucks, as of this season. So if you have a team of 16 players who haven't tied themselves to a calsouth team since there is no season on the horizon or if you play for a US Club team and are guesting, you now fork out the $27 bucks times 16 players comes out to $432 dollars for Calsouth. They are demanding it this season since they don't have close to the revenue that they normally have which is why they work so slow now. They have laid off a lot of their staff.
