If you’ve been approved for a PIP for iPride’s 2026 GSWS or Cup and the record is already in the iPride Portal, we’ll honor that instead of requiring you to submit the necessary documents.
Please email your requests and documents to TurkeyShootout@psgsl.org no later than November 4, 2026. Tournament PIP cards will be provided to team managers at player check-in.
