APPLICATION / ENTRY DEADLINE, DRAW DATE AND GENERAL SCHEDULE FOR WHEN PHASES WILL BE PLAYED | |||||||||
The CSSA State Cup Committee announced the following dates,
below, for the 2012-13 CSSA Men's Over-30, Men's Over-40, Men's Over-48, Women's Open, Women's Over-30 and Women's
Over-40 State Cups. Here are the major changes to this upcoming State Cup campaign: 1. Eliminated entry fee. This is an attempt to increase participation. 2. Added MAJOR/INTERMEDIATE Cup categories. This is another attempt to increase participation, particularly among the lower-placed and lower division teams. 3. Because there is no entry fee, teams cannot pull out after the draw date. This is to discourage frivilous entries. Teams who do so will be fined per forfeited Cup match, and, if fines are not paid, will not be in good standing with CSSA and therefore will not be allowed to participate in CSSA-affiliated competition (e.g., not allowed to play SASL or SNEASL league matches). 4. No Columbus Day weekend Cup play. Also, the Cup Final is pushed back to late June. 5. Team rosters for SASL teams will be secured from SASL Registrar; non-SASL rosters (e.g., from SNEASL teams) must be in acceptable MS-Excel format. No other file formats such as .wps or .xps, or Word, will be accepted. Note also: 6. Entry deadline and roster "freeze" date are one and the same and are based upon the SASL fall 2012 roster frozen date. 7. Teams with bad disciplinary league records, and teams not in good standing with CSSA (e.g., teams who fail to return Cup trophies), will not be admitted. 8. Teams who wish to combine may do so but must enter as a "non-league" team and post a performance bond (see page two of the application). 9. TEAMS SHOULD NOT ENTER IF: (a) they do not like the roster freeze date (b) they are not inclined or prepared to play in a likely mid-week quarterfinal or semi-final next June; (c) they are not inclined or prepared to play in the Cup Final on a Saturday afternoon/evening in late June, in Farmington. IMPORTANT: - All matches can be played "ON OR BEFORE" the scheduled dates if both teams agree and with the permission of the Cup Committee. CUP CATEGORIES MAJOR CUP: Division One teams and some Division Two teams INTERMEDIATE CUP: Some Division Two teams, and Division Three and lower Note: 1. Team allocation to each cup category is dependent on the total number of entries, and at the discretion of the Cup Committee. Additionally, less competitive male Over-30 teams (age permitting) may be allocated or placed in the Intermediate Cup with male Over-40 teams. 2. Historically, the CSSA has held cup competitions in three categories: Major, Intermediate, and Minor. If the number of entries warrant, a Minor Cup will be provided for.
