  Rescheduling CLASSIC League Games
No Classic League game can be rescheduled except for when either of the following two circumstances exist:
  • State Cup conflicts arise that were not predictable (play-in games), or
  • A referee has stopped a game before the second half begins due to weather or field conditions.
All other circumstances do not warrant any changes to the schedule.

Any date selected for a rescheduled game must be at least seven days in the future from the date on which the MAYSA Referee Coordinator is notified in writing about the rescheduled game.

Classic League Games Rescheduled Procedure:

  1. Phone messages regarding game rescheduling WILL NOT BE HONORED. Inform MAYSA's Referee Coordinator via email ref_sched@tds.net the details regarding the rescheduled game.
  2. Information to be included:
    • Both Teams' Identification,including Name, Gender, Age group, and Division of play
    • Game number on Gotsoccer
    • Requested new game Location, Date and Time
    Send an email with this information to MAYSA's Referee Coordinator cc'ing the opposing team's representative.
  3. MAYSA will then re-post the rescheduled game to the Arbiter for referee assigning, and change the game schedule on Gotsoccer.
  Rescheduling RECREATIONAL League Games
Games that are cancelled due to weather should be rescheduled. Any other rescheduling of games is strongly discouraged. No team is required to agree the request to reschedule a game. Missing a key player, not having a full team available, or desire to change the venue are not justifiable reasons to reschedule a game. Every effort should be made to adhere to the established schedule.

There are situations that warrant a schedule change. Examples include most or all players involved with a mandatory school event scheduled for the same time, or no coach or manager being available for reasons beyond their control.

Should there be the need to reschedule a game, the rescheduling of games needs to be coordinated between both coaches and the field coordinator. Contact your soccer club to find out who keeps the field schedules for your field.

All clubs are required to use licensed referee assignors to schedule referees for Recreational games. Call your soccer club to find out who that is for your club.

Recreational League Game Rescheduling procedure:

  1. Contact the opposing coach and decide on at least 2 dates and times that work as alternate times for your game. Be sure to consider limited day light hours exist during the fall and early spring season. It is strongly recommended that you give your Referee Assignor at least 7 days to find a referee for the match.
  2. Contact the appropriate field coordinator to check on field availability.
  3. Once the date, time, and location are confirmed, contact your club's licensed Referee Assignor to schedule referees for the rescheduled match.
  4. Contact the MAYSA office to update the online Gotsoccer schedule. Please don't forget the Gotsoccer game number.
