Scouting Zone

As part of The Crossfire Challenge experience, we are excited to continue our relationship with SCOUTINGZONE, a mobile scouting app that will enhance recruiting efforts at our showcase. SCOUTINGZONE provides a mobile database of player profiles where both scouts and players will maximize their opportunities to find the perfect match. It is imperative that all scouts (College, ODP, Professional, & US Soccer) have accurate team & player information. This is an elite service that we are providing (for free) to you!

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOUR TEAM? • Increase players’ opportunity to be recruited (by College, Professional, ODP & US Soccer scouts) • Scouts have real-time access to players’ information on their mobile device • Rosters/Player Profiles are linked to our showcase schedule: Scouts customize their own schedule to watch specific players & teams • Ensure players fill out their TOP 10: College scouts will receive a list of players in our showcase that are interested in their college program • FREE for all teams & players!

Tournament Housing Policy

The Crossfire Challenge Presented by Directors Mortgage is no longer a “Stay and Play” tournament. Each team is welcome to secure their choice of housing accommodations by booking directly with the hotel.

Scheduling

Due to parking issues this summer, local teams that are within driving distance will potentially play on Thursday.

Teams should be prepared to play on Friday. The first games on Friday will begin at 8am. If a team is driving from more than 2 hours away we will do our best to schedule them to start no sooner than 12noon. The last game on Monday will kick-off no later than 3pm. Teams making flight arrangements need to be prepared to play in the 3pm game just in case.
