How about the move to a size 5 ball?

I know a team's roster size the first year will be between 14 and 16 for LHGCL (different for PPL, right?).  Are there a maximum number of players who can be suited for the game, or is the whole team always allowed?

What other changes might we see for the first year of select?  Do any of these changes apply at King Tut or the QT?

2 other things come to mind that you might want to know;
1.  Frozen rosters - No guest playing in league games or certain tournaments (QT/State Cup).  So...you play the team - not the team plus a couple studs from a better team.
2.  No minimum playing time - the days of rec where each player must play a certain percentage of the game are gone.

ECNL players are registered through US Club Soccer, and are considered unrostered players in USYS (NTX Soccer) and could be added to State Cup Rosters, as long as it was done prior to the roster freeze date.  They were also added (dual rostered) on LHGCL rosters for the last few years.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the CPP rule was already adopted by NTSSA for State Cup in those cases, so those ECNL players were technically added to the State Cup rosters under the CPP rule.  I think the particulars were along the lines of what Ballhead stated, that those players had to be registered with NTSSA and associated with a club roster in some way in order to do that.  I think you are technically correct in the mechanics of what could have been done, but I don't think that's what happened in the beginning.  I don't think CPP was available for State Cup until 2012, but ECNL players were added prior to that time.  The players I'm personally aware of were, in fact, added to the USYS permanent rosters, not through CPP, although I'm sure some were, once the rule was passed.

In fact, again, correct me if I am wrong, but a club could register a team with NTSSA, whose roster consists of ECNL players that are not on any other NTSSA rosters, and just not enter that team in any NTSSA league or tournament.  Those ECNL players are still officially registered with NTSSA as part of that club, and could be used under any applicable CPP use case.  Again, you're absolutely correct, teams could do that.  In fact, our team was consistently encouraged to do so, but we elected not to simply because of the added cost and hassle to register them through a neighborhood association and NTX.  Back then, ECNL player registration was a walk in the park compared to what you had to do through USYS.  I never had to leave the computer.
