Preliminary round term: April 28th through May 18th, 2008
The Home Team (listed first in the bracket) must contact the visiting team no later than April 6th with proposed times available to play the game between April 28th and May 18th.
The Visiting Team must respond back to the home team with their choice of the proposed available date and time, no later than April 11th.
The Home Team
MUST email Dave Stephan, State Cup Chairman at
statecupchair@nyswysa.org with the date, time and schedule no later than April 13th.
A confirmation email will be sent to both teams from Dave Stephan and copied to the State Referee Assignor, no later than April 16th, of the date, time and location.
If the 2 teams for any game have not established a date and time by April 13th, then the State Cup Chairperson will establish a date, time and location of the Cup-Chair’s choosing. If one of the teams does not show, a forfeit will be declared and the team not showing up will be charged the forfeit fee plus the referee fees.
The U13 Boys and U15 Boys will play a second round of preliminary games due to the number of participants. Your first round games must be completed by May 10th. This is to allow at least 10 days to schedule and play your second round match. It is imperative that you play your games as soon as possible to allow ample time to schedule and play your second round matches. The format is the same where the home team is responsible for contacting the visiting team to coordinate a game time and location. Home team notified Dave Stephan at
statecupchair@nyswysa.org with the scheduled times and locations so that a referee can be assigned. We need your cooperation and quick contact and response here to obtain the referees.
After each preliminary game is complete, it is the Winning Team’s responsibility to contact Dave Stephan with the results. Please email Dave with 24 hours of the game being completed the final scores and result.
All games must be completed by May 18th unless the State Cup Committee grants prior approval. Please keep in mind the ODP blackout dates when scheduling your matches.
Once a game has been scheduled the
ONLY reason the game would be rescheduled would be because the field was closed due to an act of God. If a field is unplayable the HOME TEAM will make every effort to obtain an alternate field. PLEASE PLAN EARLY!
Both teams are required to pay the referees on the field prior to the state of the game. Each team must pay one half (1/2) of the game fees.
