NOTE: The DC Cup committee has done their best to ensure a positive experience for the children
during the tournament. Coaches are responsible for their personal conduct and ensuring that their
assistants, players and spectators conduct themselves with sportsmanship and dignity. The
source of this information is from previous editions of the printed BYSL handbook which is now posted on-line at www.bysl.net. It has been modified to reflect the rules of play and age groups that have entered. If you have questions and comments, please forward them through the link provided on the BYSL web site. The committee reserves the right to change the rules as necessary.
A. TOURNAMENT FORMAT
1. The U8 age group will play a one weekend "festival format" tournament (there are no
winners or losers – just play to have fun). The format is 4 v 4.
2. Play for U10 (6 v 6) , U12 (8 v 8), U14 (11 v 11), and U16/ U19 (6 v 6) age groups will be determined by the number of entrants in each group.
3. Each group should be a minimum of, but may not be limited to, four (4) teams. The festival/challenge will be in a "round robin" format (i.e., play each team in the group once). All teams will play a minimum of three (3) games.
4. DC Cup patches will be provided to all players. Participation trophies will be provided to every U8 player. Participation trophies will be provided to the 1st through 4th place teams in each U12 through U19 age group.
B. PRE-GAME PROCEDURE
1. Reporting time for teams is 30 minutes prior to game time. At that time, the team coach will
present the laminated team roster with player photos to the Site Director who will check them against the official roster. Coaches are responsible for picking up their team passes at the end of each weekend.
2. Your tournament application fee included the referee fees up to the semi-final round only. Each
team playing the final round will pay half of the referee fee per game.
3. The referee will verify the identity of players and coaches with the official team
roster to make sure players and coaches are eligible to participate. The referee will NOT allow any
non-rostered player or coach without a pass to participate.
4. Player equipment will be checked by the referee. Shin guards are required for all players.
Uniforms and shoes must also comply with BYSL Rules and Regulations. Each team should be
prepared with an alternate jersey in case of a conflict in color, a plain white T-shirt without numbers is
acceptable.
C. TOURNAMENT RULES OF CONDUCT AND PLAY
1. Each field will have a designated sideline for the teams, with the opposite side designated for the
spectators. Each team is permitted one head coach, one assistant coach, and one parent on the
team sideline. These three (3) adults and substitutes must stay behind the coaches 3-yard line and
between the halfway line and the top of the penalty area on their own half of the field. On the
spectator's sideline, spectators must remain behind the 3-yard line, and may NOT be behind either
goal line or along the sideline beyond the penalty areas. Coaching is not permitted from the
spectator's sideline.
2. If the coach is ejected from the game (hopefully an unlikely event, and one that is totally
inconsistent with the spirit of the game), then the assistant coach may direct the team. If the assistant
coach is also ejected (or if there is no assistant), then that team will forfeit the game with a score of 4-
0 recorded for the opposing team.
3. Players arriving too late to be checked-in prior to the start of the game will be inspected and
permitted to enter at the next quarter or half-time break, or sooner at the discretion of the center
referee.
4. All games shall be played in accordance with FIFA "Laws of the Game", except as modified by the
BYSL Rules and Regulations and these tournament rules.
5. Game times and dates are not subject to change. You MUST play every game assigned. Even if
you lose both of your first two games, you still must play your third game. That third game could affect
which of the other teams goes on to the next round. Also, that other team deserves the right to play
their third game. Failure to do so will result in your suspension from coaching in BYSL for one year
in addition to a $250.00 fine charged to your club (refer to the signed Declaration and Certification form).
6. The 7-point "slaughter rule" will be enforced immediately when one team gains a 7-point
advantage over the other team. The game will be terminated. There is no sense in "rubbing it in" to
the other team as there is a maximum of four (4) goal differentials.
7. Field of play: Consistent with BYSL age group guidelines for the Fall season.
8. Ball Size and Number of Field Players: Consistent with BYSL guidelines for the Fall season.

9. Substitutions and Playing Time
Substitutions will be according to BYSL guidelines as explained in the Rules and Regulations. Each
player must play at least one half of each and every game he/she attends. Other than for injuries or
disciplinary reasons, no player will be denied the right to play a minimum of time for reason of skill or
ability, or as a part of the coaches effort to win. The referees will be responsible for checking the
roster at each half of play and noting which players are remaining on the bench by jersey number.
10. Fouls and Misconduct
Any player who receives a red card or accumulates three (3) yellow cards during the DC Cup is
suspended from further play per BYSL disciplinary guidelines.
11. Player Equipment
In the event of conflicting team colors (based on referee judgment), the designated home team will be
required to change to a color acceptable to the referee. White T-shirts are acceptable (if that is not
already the color conflict). Numbers are not required on the alternate shirts. Goalkeepers are
required to wear jerseys, which are different in color from both team jerseys. Uniform dress and
shoes must conform to BYSL Rules and Regulations.
12. Referees:
In the event that the assigned referee or assistant referee fail to appear, then the Site Director must
find suitable alternates (preferably officials that happen to be on site). The game will be played as
scheduled and will be considered official. Each and every game should have one certified center
referee and two neutral assistant referees (AR) (certified referees). In the event that neutral linesmen
are not available, then the site director or center referee should try to use neutral club AR with
coaching or playing experience. In no case will parents/relatives of players in the game in question be
allowed to be an AR, even if they are licensed referees.
