Support our sponsor: 7 Eleven
Rules for the 2010 KYSA Slurpee Cup
REGISTRATION/TEAM PACKAGES:
A representative(s) of each team should register at the KYSA office on Friday, May 21st between the hours
of 9:00am and 9:00pm and collect their team package and submit their “official team roster” sheet, if not
done already by fax or email. These packages will contain, amongst other things, final schedules, copies
of the official tournament program, souvenir water bottles and free Slurpee coupons for each player.
Please note, the KYSA office is located on the west side of the McArthur Island Sports Complex,
beneath the Bread Garden Restaurant (used to be the Press Box Restaurant). See map attached!
In the event that a team representative cannot get to the KYSA office by 9:00pm Friday, the team packages
will be available at the KYSA office from 9:00am to 4:00pm on Saturday, May 22nd. However, KYSA
must receive a copy of our team roster before your first game, either by hand delivery, fax or email.
The KYSA office will be the “headquarters” for the tournament, and will be staffed throughout the weekend
in the event of anyone needing assistance.
HOSPITALITY ROOM!
The Tournament Hospitality room, located adjacent to the Bread Garden Restaurant, will be open from
5:00pm to 9:00pm on Friday, May 21st. All team coaches and managers are invited to drop in and share
in some light refreshments and “finger” foods.
TEAM ROSTERS:
Under-12 teams can carry up to 16 players.
Under-13 through Under-17 teams can carry up to 18 players.
Under-18 teams can carry up to 22 players.
Team rosters are frozen once your official team list (attached) has been submitted at tournament HQ. You
can use the attached “Official Team Roster” and submit this form to the KYSA office staff when team managers
or coaches register, if you havenʼt sent it in already. Remember, team roster sheets must be submitted
to the KYSA office before your team plays its first game!
No players can be added to your roster once the tournament commences.
Players cannot play for more than one team in the tournament.
Anyone found guilty of playing an ineligible player(s), could face a protest by the opposing team, and disciplinary
action by the event organizers, which could include the forfeiture of points or even expulsion from
the tournament. All players must be properly registered with the association they are representing.
It is very difficult to police the eligibility of all players on so many teams. Any player who is challenged
regarding his or her age shall be required to provide proof-of-age to verify their eligibility to play in a particular
division. We rely on the honesty and integrity of all coaches and managers to adhere to age restriction
policies.
TEAM LISTS:
Individual team lists are NOT required for each individual game. Also, referees will not be checking ID
cards before every game. However, in the event that a playerʼs eligibility is brought into question, either a
BCSA Player ID card and/or a birth certificate must be available as a source of identification, if requested.
DURATION OF GAMES:
All games in the tournament consist of 2 x 30 minute halves, with a 10-minute half-time break. We are
keeping to a tight schedule. Your team must be ready to kick-off within five minutes of the scheduled time
of your match. If for some reason, games do not start within five minutes of the scheduled kick-off, the referee
may have to cut short the playing time so the match finishes on schedule.
There is no overtime played in any game. Teams that are tied on points at the end of round-robin play
in 5-team groups are declared co-champions; final games ending in a tie will also result in both teams being
declared co-champions.
SCORING:
Each team will receive 6 points for a win, three points for a tie. A “no-show” will result in the opponents
being awarded six points for a default win. In instances where a team does not appear for their scheduled
game, that team shall have 6 points deducted from their total at the end of round-robin play. Field marshals
located at each venue are responsible for reporting scores (except for McArthur Island Park where referees
report scores directly to the scorekeepers) .
STANDINGS!
The results of matches will be recorded and tabulated on the KYSA Slurpee Cup web site (kysacup.com)
AND on scoreboards located at the “tournament house” situated between fields #5 and #6 at McArthur
Island Park. If anyone is in doubt about their standings, telephone 250-376-3311. However, keep in mind
that the phone lines will be busy immediately following each round of games as field marshals report
scores, so better to wait 10-15 minutes after a round is complete before calling!
AWARDS:
Each team is being given four Bronze Slurpee Cup medals in their package. Please present one medal per
game to a player on the opposing team whom the coaching staff agree was their oppositionʼs most valuable/
best player in each of the four games that each team will play in the tournament.
Championship medals will be awarded to each team finishing in first-place and second-place in each division.
In divisions where a round-robin format is followed, the teams finishing in first- and second-place in
the standings after round-robin games have been completed, receive awards. In divisions where two teams
meet in a final after round-robin play has determined the finalists, both finalist teams receive medals.
All medal presentations will take place in front of the bleachers next to Field #2 on McArthur Island Park.
If a winner is determined before the completion of a groupʼs scheduled games, in round-robin groups,
medal presentations will take place as soon as a team has qualified for the awards.
In groups where standings will determine which team moves forward to final round games after the completion
of round-robin play, the result of the match between the two teams in round-robin play shall determine
the winner. In the event that the (round-robin) game ended in a draw, goals against shall be the next
determining factor. In the event goals against cannot determine a winner, the team with the greater goal
difference shall finish ahead. The fourth method of breaking a tie will be a coin toss!
UNIFORMS:
In the event that there is a color clash, the first-named team on the schedule is designated “home team”
and is obliged to change shirts. It is recommended that if a team only carries one jersey, the team carry
pinnies in the event of a colour clash.
GENERAL LAWS OF THE GAME!
Normal FIFA Laws will be applied in the tournament, with the following deviations: there will be unlimited
substitutions, but only at a stoppage in play and with the refereeʼs consent. The Kamloops Youth Soccer
Association adheres to FAIR PLAY codes and encourages all teams to play within the spirit and Laws of
the Game! Team lists are not required for each individual game. Players who are suspended (either as a
result of an automatic suspension or as a result of a tournament organizing committee suspension) are not
eligible to participate. Any player currently under suspension from their parent association is not be eligible
to participate in the 2010 KYSA Slurpee Cup Tournament.
FOUL PLAY!
Players or team officials receiving two yellow cards in one game must serve an automatic one-game suspension
in their next scheduled game. In the event that a player or team official is dismissed from a game
(red carded), that individual must leave the vicinity of the playing field. Players receiving a red card (ejection
from game) must serve an automatic one-game suspension. In the event that a player or team official
receives more than one red card or is ejected more than once during the tournament, the KYSA organizing
committee shall convene to determine an appropriate course of action/penalty. Referees are obliged to
report all yellow and red card incidents.
Players accumulating 2 yellow cards in one game will be automatically suspended from their next game.
Players accumulating 3 yellow cards in total are automatically suspended from their next game.
All disciplinary reports will be forwarded to the teamʼs/playerʼs parent association.
PROTESTS:
Any team wishing to file a protest on any game shall do so in writing, stating the grounds for the protest.
The protest shall be signed by the team coach or manager. Protests shall be hand-delivered to the KYSA
office within 1 hour (60 minutes) of the completion of the game being protested. KYSA officials shall rule
on all protests and their decision shall be final. A $50 protest fee must accompany any protest. The fee will
be refunded only if the protest is successful.
The objective of this tournament is for the boys and girls to have fun and enjoy playing the great game of
soccer. While there is a competitive edge to any tournament, this is NOT LIFE OR DEATH competition and
should not be treated as such!
COACHING POLICY:
All coaching must be conducted from the sidelines. Please coach within the spirit of the game with respect
for your opponents, the referees and your fellow coaches. The tournament organizers recommend that
each team and their supporters locate themselves on opposite sides of the playing field.
REFEREES:
The selection and appointment of referees for all matches is handled by the Kamloops Soccer Refereesʼ
Association. Referees and assistant referees are provided for all U-13 to U-18 division games. Referees
will be supplied for all U-12 games. All referees in the tournament are CSA/BCSA-certified game officials
who actively officiate Kamloops and other BCSA-member districts.
BALL REQUIREMENTS:

(Super 8s), including the GK. All normal Laws of the Game will be followed with the exception of the offside
rule! Offsides will be called in the “attacking 3rd” of the field only. To assist the referees with calling offsides
in this age group, a line will be marked approximately 25-30 yards out from the goal-line.
PARKING @ McARTHUR ISLAND:
Please be forewarned that with so many games taking place and other activities going on at the McArthur
Island Sports Complex, parking can be a challenge. We suggest that if you are scheduled to play at
McArthur Island during the tournament, you plan to arrive early to ensure you and your parents are able to
find parking. There are no parking meters in the McArthur Island Sports Complex.
FOOD CONCESSIONS:
The Bread Garden restaurant chain provides all food services on McArthur Island. Their main restaurant
will be open from 7:00am to 9:00pm both Saturday and Sunday. Their main restaurant is located on top of
where the KYSA office is situated (those of you who have participated in the tournament before will remember
this was previously the Press Box Restaurant). The Bread Garden will also have a satellite concession
(Sports Grill) open in the middle of McArthur Island Sports Complex, next to the baseball diamonds. The
satellite concession will also be open from 9:00am to 5:00pm.
The Bread Garden will also be offering a BBQ at the main restaurant, from 11:00am to 2:00pm, each day.
T-SHIRTS:
Teams who have pre-ordered t-shirts for the tournament can pick them up at the KYSA office at MacArthur
Island Park from 9:00am to 9:00pm, Friday, and 9:00am to 4:00pm on Saturday. KYSA regrets that the only
form of payment is by cheque or cash!!! We have ordered some extra shirts over and above the pre-tournament
orders. If you would like to check to see if we have extra, visit the KYSA office. Shirts are being
sold at $12 each.
CONTINGENCIES:
In any competitive tournament involving mass participation, there are always problems, issues or challenges
that arise which may not be covered in these guidelines. In this event, the KYSA will do everything
in its power to make fair and unprejudiced decisions. The Association reserves the right to enact policies
or issue decrees that will deal with unforeseen circumstances and/or situations.
GARBAGE:
One of the biggest problems experienced at previous tournaments is the amount of garbage that is left in the
area where the teams situate themselves on the sidelines. Please be sure to pick-up all garbage, bottles and
tape are collected after each game and placed in garbage containers when your team leaves the field!
FIRST AID:
St. John Ambulance volunteers will be located at ??? Field Marshals will be able to assist in getting help
at the satellite fields.
LOST AND FOUND:
Any items that are turned in, or found at any of the parks, will be collected at the KYSA office on McArthur
Island.
