Frequently Asked Questions
- FAQ #1: I have several checks written to CVSA from players on my team. Who
can I mail those to or where can they be dropped off at?
Answer: The CVSA's mailing address is listed on the bottom of and in the sidebar of every page of the CVSA website. All checks should be sent there. The CVSA's mailing address is:
CVSA
P. O. Box 18176
Richmond, VA 23226 - FAQ #2: I just tried to register at the Richmond
Kickers office, but I was informed by them that I
was in "deadbeat" status and cannot be put on any roster.
What does that mean?
Answer: This means that your name appears on a roster of a former CVSA team that has been declared "deadbeat". A team is declared "deadbeat" when they have a past due balance from a previous season. A full listing of "deadbeat" teams, their rosters, the total amount due, and each player's amount due is listed on the Treasurer's Page of the CVSA Website. - FAQ #3: I've always paid all of my CVSA dues. I'm not a
deadbeat. This isn't fair!
Answer: The CVSA Board, acting on the authority granted under Article XII.A.1 of the CVSA Constitution has ruled that each player participating on teams that dissolved while owing the CVSA money is assessed a per capita share of that team's balance, unless they could produce a receipt (canceled check, etc.) proving payment. This is only an attempt to collect past due monies to the CVSA, not to punish anyone.
Remember, the CVSA Board deals with the team captains, and the team captains are expected to deal with individual players. The CVSA Board cannot deal with 1000 different players each season on an individual basis. Only after a team captain(s) has defaulted on his responsibilities under Article I.G.8 of the CVSA Bylaws does the CVSA Board handle the matter, invoking Article XII.A.1 of the CVSA Constitution.
If you feel that you have been wronged, it is suggested that you confront your former team captain and ask him for refund. - FAQ #4: Dude, I paid in cash!
Answer: For the last four years, the CVSA has posted an "Operational Guide" to give all players & teams direction as to how the season will be conducted. While certain specifics may have changed from season-to-season, one passage has been constant:
-
PLEASE REMEMBER IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT
PLAYERS PAY BY CHECK, AND MAKE THEIR CHECKS OUT
TO "C.V.S.A.". THE CVSA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR
LOST, MISPLACED, OR STOLEN FUNDS PAID IN CASH TO
TEAM CAPTAINS, OR CHECKS WRITTEN TO ANY PARTY
OTHER THAN THE CENTRAL VIRGINIA SOCCER
ASSOCIATION.
THE CVSA REGISTRAR WILL NOT ACCEPT MONEY. ALL PAYMENTS MUST BE MAILED TO THE CVSA POST OFFICE BOX. - FAQ #5: My team has a scheduling conflict coming up and we need to change the time
of our game. What do we need to do?
Answer: The first step is to contact your opposing team captain, and make sure that he is OK with the move. If he is, then you will need to get the approval of the captains of the two teams with whom you will swap time slots. After approval from those captains is secured, have them e-mail CVSA Scheduling Coordinator Mike Finnie. Once he has approval from all team captains, then the switch will be made.
Remember, by contract our referee organization needs 72 hours notice to move or cancel a game. - FAQ #6: I got a red card last week, and the referee didn't give back my pass. How do I
get it back?
Answer: By contract the CVSA's referee organization, Old Dominion Soccer Referee Service, is required to keep all player passes of red-carded players. After processing, the pass is sent to the CVSA Vice President, who is by definition in charge of disciplinary matters. The CVSA Vice President is Kent Vaughan. - FAQ #7: The score of my game is reported incorrectly on the CVSA website. How do we correct
that?
Answer: After sending your request to the CVSA Webmaster, have your opposing team captain e-mail the CVSA Webmaster as well with the correct score. A listing of all current team captains can be found in the CVSA Directory. - FAQ #8: I need to remove a player from my roster. How do I go about doing so?
Answer: All roster removal requests must first be reviewed by the CVSA Registrar. The CVSA Registrar is Brian Bartlett. In general, if a player has played in a game, he cannot be removed from your roster for that season. As well, all roster removal requests after the Roster Freeze Date (RFD) must be approved by the CVSA Board. Each specific season's RFD will be listed on the CVSA Calendar Page and the seasonal Operational Guide. - FAQ #9: What if I have a scheduling request?
Answer: Scheduling requests should be sent to CVSA Scheduling Coordinator Mike Finnie. Requests should be submitted as early as possible. While we try to meet every team's unique scheduling requests, we must also factor in many other issues including field availability, opposing team's conflicting requests, facility mandates, etc. Historically, we have made an extra effort to accommodate the requests of teams whose members have volunteered their time to do their part in advancing the league (i.e. - assisting with field maintenance work days, participating in CVSA Council events, meeting all clerical and financial deadlines, etc.) We strive to provide the highest quality playing surfaces for all of our matches while still meeting the scheduling demands and constraints involved with a league of our size.
