How many players can my team have on its roster?
Young Guns teams will be allowed 5 players on their rosters. Rookie & Open
teams will be allowed 6 players on their rosters. Each individual listed on a
teams roster will be required to purchase an ID card for the current calendar
year and sign an insurance waiver upon arrival at each event.
When and where can I purchase a player ID?
Player ID cards can be purchased online through our website for $15. Any ID
cards that is not purchased online one week prior to the event will cost $25. We
strongly suggest purchasing IDs online as it will save you time and money at the
events. Once an ID has been purchased it can be picked up at the next event your
attend. If ID cards are not purchased online, they can be purchased for $25 at
an event.
Why am I required to have a player ID?
Player IDs are required so that we are able to maintain a database which tracks
player participation and team rosters. It insures that we are able to offer our
divisional formats to teams of similar experience. The IDs are the root of the
classification system. They also help us maintain control of rosters during the
events, as well as maintaining control of who is on the field during the event
for safety and security reasons.
If I have only registered part of my team, can I still add
players up to the roster limit?
You can add players online until the final deadline for payment. After that, you
can add players at the event, up until the start of your game for a minimal fee.
What is the maximum number of teams?
The maximum number of teams varies depending on the division and the
specific event. You can see exactly how many teams will be allowed in each
division by clicking on the Teams button on the top navigation bar. Just select
the event you would like to view for a complete list. Please remember that teams
must be both registered and paid in order to have a spot in the event.
Can I be a rostered player on two teams?
No. Each player can only be rostered on one team.
Is it possible to change the team name after payment has
been made?
Yes. Simply click on 'Teams' and go to the team list for the event. Scroll
down to your team name and click on it. Log in to your team profile using your
team ID number and password. You can then change your team name to whatever
you'd like. Which will also update the team name for any roster in the future.
Can I post myself somewhere as a free agent?
Yes. Once you have an APPA ID number, click on the 'Teams' link and go to
the team list for the event. At the top, there is a link to add yourself to the
free agents list, where teams looking to pick up players will be able to find
you.
Does someone from my team have to be at the registration
at the event or can we register online and just show up to the captains meeting?
In order to participate in an MPC event, a team must register and pay online

at registration upon arriving at the event. Each individual will be required to

At each event, the first place team receives 100 overall points and the last
place team receives 10 overall points, with the rest of the teams evenly
distributed between 100 and 10 overall points. For example, if there are 10
teams, the 1st place team receives 100 points, the 2nd place team would receive
90 points, the receives 80 points, down to the last team, which receives 10
points. If, however, there were 19 teams, 1st would get 100, 2nd would get 95,
3rd would be 90, etc, down to last which would again get 10 points.

Can players wear masks that have cuts or modifications?

a supplement attachment. This is based on manufacturers' ability to void any
guarantee of safety if you change the design that they have certified as safe.
