No changes were made. c) Registration (See attached report) The issue of double rostering that had been brought up at the last meeting was investigated and found not to have occurred. Jerry Crossman checked both rosters and the players in question were only rostered once. Jerry pointed out that we need a new registrar for the fall season for the following clubs: Electric City, Fox Valley Unified, Kiel, Menasha, and Paper Valley. Clubs are asked to help find a volunteer to fill this position. d) Referee Jim Rader reminded everyone that they should still be using Arbiter.

Yellow cards are up, and there is a disturbing increase in the number of racist remarks. Club Presidents are taking positive steps to education players and coaches in proper field etiquette. Dan asks clubs to make sure that coaches understand how to fill out score cards and understand game change procedures. Clubs are reminded that coaches are role models for players and should be expected to act accordingly. Referees are reminded that before kickoff they are to make sure that the coaches and managers have proper passes or the game cannot be played.

3 6) Website Committee (see attached report) Wayne reports that the state committee has selected League 1 as the software vendor and will be going to the Wis. Youth Soccer Board for final approval. It is predicted that the system will go live for the soccer season. 7) Adult League Discussion arose about the Recreational Adult teams using the same rules as U19 recreational teams. It was voted on and pass to remove the rule from the Adult Rec. League that states A player from the offensive team MAY NOT play the ball within the goal box.

If there is a dispute about some portion of the game or the recorded score, please utilize the EC Game Dispute Resolution Form (attached) 5. Roster/Carding Report: Update the Coaches/Manager portion of the East Central Roster/Carding Report for EVERY GAME. Both coaches must present their report to the referee prior to the team check-in. The Roster/Carding Report has team, game date, opponent, coaches and player number and name. Player address or phone number will not appear on this report. Note: The Team Registration Roster is different than the Roster/Carding Report used for game day o The Team Registration Roster is the one with the players personal information o It is generated by the club registrar and stamped by East Central Registrar or Assistant Registrar o This Team Registration Roster is only presented at tournaments o It is extremely important that you do not use or distribute your Team Registration Roster with the player s private information. Use of the Team Registration Roster is potentially harmful to the players and will result in the game being forfeit and possibly other sanctions from the EC District. The Roster/Carding Report can be found on the East Central website under Info>Forms>East Central Roster/Carding Report. Note: This is in a writable PDF and can be printed with your information on it. This can not be saved, please plan accordingly. Referee will only keep the Roster/Carding Report if there is a red or yellow card; otherwise the report is returned to the coach Coaches/Manager s Tip 1: If the Roster/Carding report is returned (i.e. no cards issued during game) it may be used for subsequent games

13 Coaches/Manager s Tip 2: You can pre-print this report and mark it up by hand on game day to reflect changes (such as player pass additions and other roster deletions). 6. Player Pass Cards - All Classic Teams and U16-U19 Recreational Teams must present their player pass cards at each game in order to play. Failure to produce player pass cards will result in forfeit. 7. Score Cards: Score cards are obtained from your club or can be found on the East Central website under Info>Forms>Score Cards Please fill out the card completely prior to the game (except for the score and the final verification signatures at the bottom of the card). An incomplete or improperly completed score card will result in non published scores (as if the game were not played). The score card is given to the center referee before the game begins, by the home team. After the game, the referee fills in the score and each coach should verify the score, re-verify the other information on the card, and sign score card. The winning coach will mail in the score card (the mailing address is preprinted on back of card). An example of a properly filled out card is located at the end of this document. 8. Referee Payment See East Central website for payment information Info>Rules> Modified Rules Recreational and Classic All referee fees must be paid before the start of a game. Failure to present payment will result in a forfeit. 9. Cardings/Suspensions/Discipline: Immediately after the game, the coach/team manager will meet with the head referee to verify the game score and to clarify the identity of those players receiving warnings and ejections. Coaches or team manager should verify that the correct player pass is being surrendered to the Games Commissioner. If the referee reports any harassment from a coach or his/her representative during this meeting, disciplinary action (suspension) WILL be assessed against the coach. Players who are receiving red cards will have their player passes confiscated by the Referee who will send the card to the Games Commissioner. If a player receives a red card, the coach should contact the Club Games Commissioner to obtain a Non-Participation Verification Card. This form can also be downloaded from the East Central website: Info>Forms>Non Participation form. If a player is sitting a suspension, he/she must have the referee sign the Non-Participation Verification Card.

15 East Central District Game Rescheduling Procedure and No Show Reporting A great deal of effort goes into developing the schedule for the thousands of games that are played each year in the East Central District. Rescheduling of those games impacts field scheduling, referee scheduling and obviously the many players, coaches, families and friends of each team. Rescheduling is discouraged, but when it is required, the coaches from both teams involved are strongly encouraged to work collaboratively to ensure that the game takes place. Please try to find dates, times and fields that work for both teams. Be patient and park you re your frustration at the door, we adults are trying to give the kids as many chances to play soccer as possible. Rescheduling Games Clubs/teams may attempt to reschedule games ONLY for the following reasons: 1. Game postponed due to inclement weather 2. Field deemed unplayable by the field marshal, referee or owner 3. Games conflicting with a state league commitment 4. Games that conflict with tournaments 5. Games that conflict with school events 6. Other reasons that cause teams to be below the minimum number of players Games should not be rescheduled due to a few players missing. In the event a game has to be rescheduled, the new date should be determined at least seven days before the originally scheduled game date (to allow the referees and field schedulers advance warning). The rescheduled date must be during the EC League season. Procedure 1. Coach initiating a change should call the opposing coach as soon as the change is identified as needed. Mandatory: Call the other coach first as a courtesy 2. of the change request form with all of the details (copy of the EC Game Rescheduling form is attached on the next page) Mandatory: Use to create a paper trail (it s much easier to sort out later) 3. The home team club will manage the change. All re-scheduled games must be approved by the home club field scheduler and referee scheduler. If either scheduler is unable to reschedule then the game will be declared a no contest. 4. Please submit the following information to the home field club at least seven days before the scheduled date of the game; Failed to show or Refused to Play In the event a team either fails to show for a scheduled game, or refuses to play at the scheduled game time, the referee is required to complete the game report and note appropriately: e.g. TEAM XY failed to show or refused to play. The referee CANNOT declare a winner (or forfeit). The decision regarding the result of the game rests solely with the East Central Games Commissioner.
