Spring '06 Operational Guide

NOTE: This seasonal Operational Guide is published by the CVSA Board. Its provisions supersede those of the CVSA Constitution and CVSA Bylaws, and do so under authority granted by Article XII.A.1 of the CVSA Constitution. It is written for the benefit of the players of the CVSA, and to cover situations not foreseen by the CVSA Constitution and CVSA Bylaws. In general, the CVSA accepts applications from individual teams, who then register their individual players. The league doesn't conduct a draft to place individual players on teams, but does have an Available Players page where individual players looking to get onto teams are able to post detailed biographical information in order to facilitate placement and contact from an interested team captain.


Registration Procedure / Operational Guide - Spring '06

I. Registration
    A. Fees
      1. Team: All teams must make a $325 deposit at the Spring '06 Organizational Meeting to be considered for inclusion in the CVSA Spring '06 season. This deposit will count toward each team's total invoice - it is not assessed in addition to the per player fees.

      2. Player: $65.00. A team's total is determined simply by the number of players multiplied by $65.00. The team's initial $325 deposit counts toward this total.

      4. Failure to have proper roster: $25.00 per team per game.

      4. "The check is in the mail" is no excuse!


    F. Registration Documents G. Player Passes & Rosters
      1. Player passes will be used for the Spring '06 season. Captains are responsible for having validated player passes at each game. A validated pass is one that has the current "Spring '06" on the back. If your players are new to the league and do not have player passes, THEY MUST HAVE THEM MADE ! ! This can be done at the office of the Richmond Kickers, who serve as registrars of the CVSA.

      2. Captains are also responsible for having current rosters & passes on hand at the game. A current roster is one that has "Spring '06" printed in the upper left corner. The referees will check passes and rosters before games.

      3. The Richmond Kickers are handling registration this season. Their office is located at 2320 W. Main Street. Their phone number is 644-KICK. They will validate passes and generate official rosters. PLEASE CALL AHEAD. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT TEAM CAPTAINS DROP OFF THEIR PASSES AND PICK THEM UP LATER. INDIVIDUAL WALK-IN REGISTRATION WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE - THE KICKERS OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED MOST OF THE DAY ON HOME GAME DATES, AND USUALLY THE DAY OF AND BEFORE AWAY DATES!

      4. The CVSA's Pass & Roster Policy outlines exceptions to these rules.

      5. The Richmond Kickers office does not accept any CVSA payments.

    H. Dual Registration: Players may be registered on more than one team simultaneously. They must pay a full registration fee for each team they play on. It is also recommended that they have multiple Player Passes made, one for each team of which he or she is a member.


HOW DOES REGISTRATION WORK?

The basic idea of team & player registration is to give structure to the league, so it doesn't degenerate into a sandlot pickup league, and that all players are covered by USASA insurance and are eligible to participate in State & National Tournaments.

A PLAYER is registered once he fills out the individual player registration form. This only needs to be done once, as the form is kept on file at the league office. Once a player is registered, he must have a player pass made. This insures that he has the proper identification to participate in CVSA and other MDCVSA & USASA sanctioned matches.

A TEAM is registered once at least eleven registered players appear on their roster. Players must appear on an official roster, and present a valid player pass, before they can participate in a CVSA match.

All players must register at the office of the CVSA Registrar. All team rosters must be formulated at the office of the CVSA Registrar. The CVSA Registrar for the Spring '06 season is Shelley Sowers of the Richmond Kickers.

For more detailed registration information, see the CVSA Registration Guide

      1. The following divisions will be offered, each will be dependent upon team interest - Premier, First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Masters, Veterans, & Coed.

      2. Emphasis will be on creating divisions even in number. The Premier division will not be excluded, and as a result, there may be a more dramatic upward shift than in past seasons. The Fall '05 standings and team attrition will be the primary determinants of divisional alignment.

      3. The Masters Division will be 30+. The following eligibility requirements will be in effect for teams competing in the Masters Division. All players must meet one of the following requirements:
        a. Have been born on or before 12/31/1976

        a. Have been born on or before 12/31/1966
        b. Each team will be allowed up to 5 players born on or before 12/31/1971. These players will be "grandfathered" into the Veterans Division eligibility
        c. Be female

      5. The Coed Division will play on Tuesday evenings at Dorey Park. The rules for Coed Division play do not differ from any other division except for the following rule:
        a. No more than 7 males may take the field at any time

    B. Regular Season
      1. Teams will be split into divisions and will complete a round-robin within their division. The divisions will have no more than 11 teams, and may have fewer in order to maintain divisions even in number as possible.

      2. The Division Champions will be determined in accordance with the established procedures.

      3. The regular season will begin on Sunday, March 5. There will be no games on Sunday, April 16 (Easter Sunday).

    C. 2005-'06 CVSA Cup / Copa Bruce
      1. The Cups will restart in February.

      2. Games will be scheduled sporadically during the Spring '06 season.

      3. The Spring '06 Regular Season roster will be used for the Cups. One must appear on the Spring '06 Regular Season roster to be eligible for the CVSA Cup.
