SCHEDULING & SCHEDULING CONFLICTS

  • MSYSA State Cup games take precedence over all scheduled league games.
  • All teams must schedule their respective preliminary games immediately upon receipt of the release of State Cup bracketing information. It is recommended that teams schedule their State Cup preliminary games prior to scheduling league games.
  • Preliminary game dates, times, and locations must be mutually agreed upon by both coaches. Games that are more than 60 miles one way must be played on a Saturday or a Sunday unless it is otherwise mutually agreed upon to play on another day.
  • Teams may not be scheduled to play any more than two (2) MSYSA State Cup games on any one day.
  • If both coaches cannot agree on a game date(s), time(s), and location (s) for their preliminary games, the MSYSA State Cup Chair or the State Cup Chair Designee will schedule the game(s). Scheduling of the game is at the sole discretion of the MSYSA State Cup Chain or State Cup Chair Designee. The game(s) must be played as scheduled by the MSYSA State Cup chair or the State Cup Chair Designee.
  • All games scheduled by member leagues are required to be rescheduled in order to allow teams to compete in the MSYSA State Cup.
  • No member league can forfeit any game of any team for the day that the team is playing in the MSYSA State Cup competition (see exception below).
  • Teams must not schedule league games on the dates of the State Cup quarterfinals, semifinals, or finals. If a conflict arises because of failure to adhere to the rule, the ability to reschedule league games is at the discretion of the league.
