Scheduling rules
1. Cooperation is strongly encouraged
2. All games should be played - Forfeits are not desirable
3. Home team is entitled to schedule games in ways that benefit its coaching conflicts and good usage of field space.
4. Game times should take into account travelling distance and efforts should be made to not burden the Guest team with extreme hours of departure/arrival (i.e. 6AM/10PM)
5. Games on Academic tests dates (SAT/ACT) should be scheduled no earlier than 2PM (later if the Guest travels from further distance)
6. For Games on Special Events dates (Homecoming/Prom) the Home team is expected to make an extra effort to accommodate the Guests
7. Matches should be officiated by the three-person FIFA/USSF Referee System. In the event, the assigned officials fail to appear (within 10 minutes of the match time); an attempt to secure certified officials to officiate the match should be done. In the event certified USSF officials are not available, the Referee may appoint Club Assistant Referees. Club Assistant Referees shall be limited to decisions only on touchlines and possession as specified by FIFA/USSF Referee Guidelines.
Rescheduling is acceptable for any reason as long as both parties agree.
In case the parties do not agree, Tournament and ODP participation are the only instances when the League will step in and demand a reschedule.
Coaching conflicts are not an acceptable reason to expect the opponent to agree to reschedule a game. Item #1 is strongly emphasized in this case.
