2010 Tournament of Champions - Indiana Brings Home Victories
The 2010 Tournament of Champions featured the previous champions along with current state and league championship teams in four competitive categories from the Midwest Region's 14 state associations. These categories include Men's Open, Men 0/30, Men U23, and Women's Open. The tournament has grown to be one of the two largest such events in the Midwest annually. Envisioned by Joe Rodrigues (past Regional Director, Region II), the TOC began in 1980 to provide competition between the best teams in each of the States of the Midwest Region. This year twenty nine teams competed in Cleveland at the Lost Nations Sports Park. Four teams were sent home as champions taking with them the TOC traveling trophies. Two of these trophies now reside in Indiana for the next year.
After round robin play on Saturday, finals were played on Sunday to determine champions. In the Womens Open division, Fort Wayne Sport Club played their final with Real Madrid from Kansas to a 4-0 victory. The Men's Over-30 division had 9 entries. BRSC from Indiana made it to the semi-finals where they ended regulation time in a tie and lost in PKs to the eventual division champion FC Romania from Illinois. The Men's U23 division found Westside United U23 the winner over Ohio North U23 by a 2-0 score.

Notes for Referees about Indiana Adult Soccer
- Please see the list of affiliated leagues before considering assigning for or accepting assignments from any league.
- We will enforce the "no pass - no play" rule. Remember, if you allow unregistered players in the game it is no longer considered sanctioned.
- There are 3 legal player passes in use for 2010. There is the "online" pass with integral picture used by the Central Indiana Men. There is the pass specific to only the Northwest Old Boys League. Everyone else uses the predominantly orange and blue pass with the picture on the front and the waiver statement on the back. Illegal copies are usually immediately apparent. Make sure you get a sample of a real card from your assignor.
- If you encounter what you believe are illegal copies of player passes, do not seize the card, unless it's laughably obvious. Allow the player to play and later notify any member of the State Board either by phone or e-mail that you believe you have seen copied passes.
