The Chapman Cup begins 3/1. In the event of ties, quarterfinals and semifinals go straight to PKs. Finals will have two 15-minute golden goal overtime periods followed by PKs if still a tie. Yellow cards start over in the Cup; players must complete outstanding suspensions.
No Player Passes This Summer
Only a driver’s license or another form of a government-issued picture ID will be allowed to check-in to games.
REMINDER: GLASS BOTTLES ARE NOT PERMITTED ON CITY FIELDS.
Player Registration
With the introduction of on-line registration and the option of presenting to the match referee either a ASSA/TMSL player pass or alternative ID, there is some confusion about what is required and when for a player to play on any given Sunday match.
The TMSL By-laws are very clear.
First, we play by the rules of USSF and ASSA, our National and State affiliation, respectively. These rules require a player pass for every registered player. Although team captains may choose to use the pass or an alternative ID (driver’s license, etc.) on Sunday the rules still require the creation of a player pass credential. This requires every potential player to provide to TMSL a passport quality photograph of himself. Absent a player pass, no player is eligible to play in a TMSL or State sanctioned match. There are NO exceptions.
Second, in order to play on Sunday, the by-laws are clear – see Section V, paragraph 10 “Games – All players must be registered no later than Wednesday in order to play on Sunday”. Stated differently, you cannot register on-line on Friday and play on Sunday. You cannot play on Sunday unless your on-line or paper registration, including a photograph, is completed no later than the Wednesday prior to your desired Sunday match.
No TMSL Board Member, or the State Registrar, has the authority to override the TMSL By-laws.
Congratulations to Legends FC!
The TMSL board has decided to begin the end of the season tournament on 16 April due to continued challenges getting referees and fields because of youth tournaments and games on Sundays. Based on these issues, there is only one weekend available for games in May, and playing one makeup game will not change the standings. Because O40 and O60 only have 4 teams, their tournament will begin on 23 April. We will use the same format as in the past, with the top teams seeded (for example 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th place) and a draw to determine who they play in the first round. If a division has an odd number of teams, the bye will also be drawn. The schedule should be posted soon after the drawing.
We will hold the draw at 6 pm on Thursday, 6 April at Trident Grill III at 2910 N. Swan Road. Players and captains are welcome to attend.
There are multiple rule changes that will be implemented for the upcoming TMSL season.
