directions to the fields. The Home Team is always the first
team listed. Check your team schedule for how many games
you have home and away. All preliminary games must be played
between August 16, 2008 and September 21, 2008. There will
be no exceptions! Game dates and times must be mutually
agreed upon by both coaches. If both coaches cannot agree
on game date(s), time(s), and location(s) for their preliminary
games, MSYSA will schedule the game(s). If this occurs,
the game(s) must be played as scheduled by MSYSA. All teams
who forfeit a State Cup game will be required to pay a minimum
forfeit fine of $500.

REFEREES (NEW):
MSYSA will assign referees (center and 2 assistants) to
all preliminary games. It is the responsibility of the Home
Team to report the preliminary game logistics (who, what,
where, when, etc) via the new online system. THIS INFORMATION
MUST BE RECEIVED BY AUGUST 1, 2008. Failure to do so will
result in forfeiture and subsequent fines. There will be
NO CHANGES of any kind after the August 1st deadline (excluding
weather-related changes). Please note that any team who
does not use MSYSA assigned referees may be subject to fines,
game forfeitures, and/or disqualifications. Please see the
State Cup rules for more information about referee fees.
The online system will be made available at www.michiganyouthsoccer.org
very shortly. Start coordinating your preliminary games
schedule NOW.
MSYSA will schedule all referees for all State Cup games,
however, MSYSA only pays the referee fees for the Quarterfinals,
Semifinals, and Finals.
SCORE REPORTING:
The State Cup system allows teams to log-in and report their
own scores. The winning team (or Home Team in case of a
tie) of each preliminary game must report the game results
via the online system. Further information and instructions
will be e-mailed to all team managers and coaches on/around
August 13th. The MSYSA State Cup Game Reports (as posted
on www.michiganyouthsoccer.org)
must be used to report your game scores. The game reports
need to be MAILED to MSYSA, Attention: State Cup, 9401 General
