Notes & Information |
| Apply Early! |
| Deadlines for the tournament application is Sunday, November 7, 2009. The applications are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Teams will not be accepted into the tournament until their application, entry fee and roster are received. |
| Tournament Games |
Every team will be guaranteed 3 games. ALL teams need to be prepared to play games Friday – Sunday. A few local teams may have games on Thursday night (We will verify with you before scheduling Thursday night game).
U9 and older teams will have playoffs. Depending on the size of the divisions, some may have quarter-finals also. Some older divisions may finish their games on Sunday morning, before starting their playoff games. All final games will be on Sunday.
The advancement procedures will be modified as required based on the number of teams in a particular bracket. Teams will be placed in brackets considering previous experience as well as age. The number of teams in an age bracket determines whether competition is round robin or has finals and/or semi-finals.
Age-pure U11, U13, and U15 divisions will be created if sufficient teams register. If not, the U11, U13, and U15 teams will be placed in the U12, U14, and U16 divisions, respectively. |
| Guest Players |
A maximum of three guest players are allowed in Recreational Divisions. A maximum of three guest players are allowed in Competitive Divisions.
Guest players are in addition to the team rostered players. Teams must provide medical release forms at check-in and guest player release forms, if applicable.
The maximum number of players for a competitive team is 18, including the guest players. |
| Non NTSSA Teams |
| Approved travel paperwork must be received in the CSA office no later than Sunday, November 7th, 2009. ID Cards will be verified at team check in. |
| Rainout Policy |
| If the tournament is rained out on the schedule date, the tournament will be held on the following weekend. If that date is rained out as well, the tournament will be canceled. If the tournament is rained out / canceled before it started, 1/2 of your entry fee will be refunded. |
| Score Sheet / Roster Sheet |
It is required to have tournament roster sheets completed by ALL teams U10 and up. These score sheets are available for download at the top left of this page. These forms must be completed and 8 copies brought to team check in and validated by a Kris Thetford Memorial Cup representative.
These score sheets will be required for each team to turn into the referee before each game. Both teams are required to turn these score sheets into the tournament headquarters / field marshals within 15 minutes after their game, to avoid forfeit of the game. |
| Team Check In |
Team check in will be held on Fri, Nov 13, 2009 from 6:00pm – 8:30 pm at the host hotel, the Holiday Inn Express. We encourage all teams to check in Friday night as limited staff will be available to check teams in on Saturday in an effort to provide the best service during tournament time.
At check in teams will receive tournament packets, medical release forms will be verified, score sheets will be validated and non NTSSA team ID cards will be checked. All rosters must be in the CSA office no later than Sunday, November 7th, 2009. |
| Conduct |
| There will be zero tolerance of abusive or offensive language or actions by coaches, players, parents, and fans toward referees or tournament staff. |
| Awards |
U8 and younger teams will play three games and all players will receive participation awards. The U9 and older Recreational and Competitive teams will compete for place trophies, which will be awarded after the division final game.
In the event that a team is scheduled to play the another team from their own bracket based on seeding, the playoffs will be aligned to promote play across the brackets where possible.
Any situation or question on the rules of the tournament that are not covered herein will be governed by NTSSA and USYSA Rules, in that order. The tournament director shall determine any matters not provided for in those rules. The decision of the tournament director or designee is final. |
| Medical Release Forms |
| Coaches are required to present to the tournament committee at check-in signed (and preferably notarized) medical releases for each player. Players without medical release forms will not be allowed to play. |
| Shin Guards |
| Size appropriate shin guards are required for all players while they are on the field, including warm up activities. |
| Home & Visitors |
| In most cases, teams will be on opposite sides of the field. The Home team (team listed first on the pairings) should be on the North or West side and the visitor team should be on the South or East side of the field. The Home team will supply the game ball. |
| Uniforms |
All members of a team shall wear the same color shirt except the goalkeeper, who shall wear a different and distinguishable color. All team shirts shall have the individual’s number on the back.
The HOME team will wear their white or light colored jersey. The VISTING team will wear their dark colored jersey. In the event that these colors conflict, the HOME team will change to an alternate color or wear “pennies”. |
