Metro Cup Message

Metro Cup

The Metro Cup Tournament will begin its first week of play this Sunday, April 14th.

Your attention is directed to the League website for scheduling and to the League by-laws, section 6. Summarizing, any match that is tied following 90 minutes of regulation play, will be extended by two 15 minute halves utilizing the “Golden Goal” Rule. If neither team scores during the Golden Goal extension, the match will be decided by penalty kicks.

Any regular season suspension – due to red card or yellow card accumulation – will be served during Metro Cup play. However, any yellow cards accumulated during the regular season that have not resulted in suspension will be erased. Stated differently, an individual player’s yellow card accumulation will be wiped clean for the tournament.

Have fun and enjoy.

  • Post-season Tournament

    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.
