Handbook Update

bulletOur League Handbook is being revised. If you have been unable to find answers to your questions in the handbook, did not understand the existing verbiage, or have any other suggestions on making the handbook a more valuable tool for your club - please feel free to submit comments at http://www.mcysa.org/forms/Handbook.htm.  The form is also linked in the Handbook Table of Contents.

Registration & Status Pages

bullet

Registration Forms Submitted using the OnLine Registration Applications. All information must be complete and accurate or they will be returned. As discussed at the June League Contact Meeting - Registration deadline is JANUARY 15, 2008

bullet

Check Registration Status Pages to keep an eye on what applications have been received - and - where they are in the verification process

bullet

League Contacts - If your club has many teams and you would like to complete the Registration Applications via a small application program (emailed to you), please please REQUEST MODULE now. There is no charge and the registration module is currently written in Microsoft Access 2000. Each module sent out is customized specifically for your club. It will require the same information as the online applications but should save you quite a bit of typing time as it is already pre-populated with last season's team and club info that must be verified and updated. As with the online forms, the deadline remains the same - it must be emailed back and received by midnight 01/15/08.

bullet

At any time prior to a Spring Season you can request Early Carding Packets for Division 1 and Division 2 teams HERE

Elite Flights

bulletIf you are planning on organizing an ELITE FLIGHT for the upcoming season - submit an ELITE NOTIFICATION

Preseason Conflict Notices

bullet

Conflict Notices are due - Friday 08/01/08

bullet

1) Check the published Season Game Dates
2) If a team has a conflict with a particular date where the majority of the team can not attend the game and therefore can not field a team a Preseason Conflict Notice can be submitted by the club League Contact.

bullet

3) Please keep in mind that the league can only schedule games for the published game dates.  Once the league schedule has been completed, if there is a scheduled game for a team on the date listed in their Conflict Notice, the schedule will be marked showing the game can not take place on the scheduled date.  It is then up to the two opposing clubs to determine a new Game Date (and time and field) and submit the details on a Schedule Change Request form (after the Schedule has been posted)

bullet

League Contacts can submit Preseason Conflict Notices at http://www.mcysa.org/forms/form-ConflictNotification.htm

bullet

NEW - As PCN's are received they will be logged on the Preseason Conflict Notice page so you can see what has been submitted and received.

bullet

PCN's will be reflected on the Home Game Schedule files sent out to club Field Schedulers.  All date conflicts must have alternate details (date/time/field) are resolved by both teams and included on the Home Game Schedule Files returned by the clubs.

League Game Schedule

bullet

Once Final Flighting is determined, the League Scheduler creates the Initial League Game Schedule.  This initial schedule will list game dates,  opponents, and indicate games that must be rescheduled due to an approved Preseason Conflict Notice received by the due date (see above.)

bullet

Once the Initial League Game Schedule has been created it is distributed to the club Field Schedulers as a Home Game Schedule file.  The Field Schedulers will add in the times and fields for their home games, new game dates/times/fields for their home games flagged as a PCN, and any changes (date/time/field) for any other home games that have been agreed to by both opponents.

bullet

Field Schedulers must return their completed Home Game Schedule file to the League Scheduler on or before the due date - 08/23/08 for F08  Penalties are assessed for clubs returning incomplete or late schedule files and will continue to accrue until their HGS is complete for all home games.

bullet

Information from all the Home Game Schedule files are merged with the initial League Schedule which forms the Master League Game Schedule for the upcoming season. 

bullet

Team Game Packets are created from the Master League Game Schedule.  Packets include Game Cards, Schedules, Directions, and Flight Contacts for the upcoming season.  Game Packets are distributed at the Preseason Mandatory Coaches Meetings.

bullet

Games are expected to be played as listed in the Master League Game Schedule.  The only exceptions are those published in the League Handbook.

Teams playing in National Championship & NJ Cup

bullet

Automatic Postponement of League Games will be granted if you have a conflict with a SC/NC game on the same date.  Teams/Clubs MUST notify MCYSA asap as a team progress through the rounds.
