RESCHEDULES:
We will continue to use the same reschedule process, but we
will do much better handling this process. There will be better details
posted on the website to come. The $25 fee will stay the same,
and all reschedules after the Final schedule release will incur this fee (with
exception to rain-out, referee or league related reschedules)
RESCHEDULE WINDOW: The Reschedule window is 4 days or
96 hours. For instance, if your game is Saturday at 4pm, you can initiate
a reschedule any time until Tuesday at 4:00pm. At 4:01pm you will be
inside the mystical "you-can't-reschedule-now-window". We had
many last minute reschedules last season, and it causes much confusion with
some teams showing up at the wrong place, or referees showing up for game that
did not happen. This 4 day window is to allow us the time we need to get
everything in place for a successful game-day for your team. If you must
reschedule within the 4 day "you-can't-reschedule-now-window", this
will be considered a forfeit (please see forfeits below). SO PLEASE, get
with your team, look at your schedule, if there are dates throughout the season
that you need to change, get them changed early, that will help us make this as
smooth of a season as possible. :)
FORFEITS:
All FORFEITS will incur a $100 fine
to the Club (not to the TEAM, the Club can pass that on to the team if they
wish). When a team forfeits a game, the league still has to pay for
Referees, and it takes a game away from the other team. This season, in
cases of a forfeit, we intend to provide an extra game for the team who did not
forfeit, ensuring that they receive their full 8 games. Clubs, please let
your teams, managers, coaches know of this fee to help us reduce instances of
forfeits.
Club Requirements:
Club Registrars are required to ensure ALL teams have a "TEAM MANAGER" in Affinity and a Head Coach. The Team Manager could be the head coach as well, or the primary contact for the team. ALSO, Club Registrars are required to ensure that all contact information for team administrators are up to date and correct. This is to ensure that all automated communication from the Affinity System is received by the proper contact.
Game Requirements:
Coaches
will need a printed copy of the team's AYSA roster to present to the referees
before kick-off. For teams or players, "Player-Passing" requires a valid AYSA roster with the "passing" player listed, and highlighted on both rosters. AYSA rosters can be printed from your Club Registrar's access to the team roster page in your club's Affinity site.
