Rules
FOUNDERS CUP RESERVE POOL RULES Teams that complete an application after 5:00 PM November 2, 2009 for the U10, U12 and U14 age groups or 5:00 PM January 4, 2010 for U16 and U19 age groups are not guaranteed the opportunity to play. They must pay an entry fee of $350.00 by certified check, money order, or bank cashiers check. Any team that enters after the November 2, 2009 application period, for U12 and U14, or January 4, 2010 application period for the U16 and U19 divisions and meets all other entrance requirements will be put into the “Reserve Pool”. U10-U14 Founders’ Cup Reserve Pool Applications will be accepted until 5PM November 9, 2009. U16-U19 Founders’ Cup Reserve Pool Applications will be accepted until 5PM January 4, 2010. The deadline to adjust and add teams to flights divisible by four (4) shall be one week prior to the start of play for each age/gender division of play. Anytime that a team is needed to “fill” a flight in CYSA Founders’ Cup Play, a team in the “Reserve Pool” in the proper age/gender group shall be blind drawn from the “Pool”. Any team not blind drawn from the “Reserve Pool” when play commences shall have its $350.00 entry fee returned to the team within thirty (30) days from the first day of play in the team’s age/gender division. The CYSA Founders’ Cup Committee may blind draw additional teams from the “Reserve Pool” of teams in a particular division to make that division divisible by four (4) prior to the draw. The CYSA Founders’ Cup Committee will only draw enough teams to get to the first number of teams divisible by four (4) above the number of teams that have entered CYSA Founders’ Cup in the specific age/gender division of play at the time of the CYSA Founders’ Cup Deadline for Entry. The CYSA Founders’ Cup Committee cannot draw anymore than a maximum of three (3) teams to attain a division of play that is divisible by four (4).
Sideline Behavior Section 3:08:03
Teams participating in CYSA Cup events are advised that due to an increasing number of complaints and incidents regarding inappropriate behavior on the sidelines at soccer matches, the CYSA Board of Directors has instructed the referees to remind each team of section 3:08:03 of the CYSA General Procedures and to inform the team officials during their pre-game instructions to the teams that it is CYSA's intent to enforce this policy. All spectators should be advised accordingly as it is the coach who is ultimately held accountable for the behavior of the spectators associated with his or her team. Please help us enhance everyone's enjoyment of the game by reminding your team members and spectators of their obligation to abide by this procedure.
3:08:03 Coaching from the sidelines, giving direction to one's own team on points of strategy and position, is permitted provided:
-
No mechanical devices are used.
-
The tone of voice is informative and not a harangue.
-
No coach, substitute, player, or spectator is to be anywhere but at his/her bench area during the game. A team's bench area shall be that area one (1) yard from the touchline and extending to ten (10) yards, one way, from the half-line only.
-
No coach, substitute, player or spectator is to make derogatory remarks or gestures to the referees, other players, substitutes, or spectators.
-
No coach, substitute, or player is to use profanity.
-
No coach, substitute, player, or spectator is to incite, in any manner, disruptive behavior of any kind.
The penalty for the above shall be ejection from the game and disciplinary action will be taken by the Board of Directors of this Association.
