SECTION F – POLICY - GAME POSTPONEMENT, RESCHEDULING, MAKE-UP GAMES

NOTE: The Wyoming League is both unique and challenging. To be successful, each club’s teams are expected to be considerate of their players, their opponents, the referees, and the league by adhering to the posted game schedules.

Once the draft schedule is made available, carefully review it and request  any changes at that time. Requests to change the approved schedule, except for field closures, lack of necessary referees, or approved out of state travel will not be accepted. Changes due to weather are expected and efforts are made to accommodate such requests.

It is the responsibility of the HOME TEAM coach to schedule make up games including referees and field time.

1.   If the home field is closed due to weather or other adverse conditions, the home team coach must notify the referee assignor and the opposing coach as soon as possible; or the evening before whenever possible.

2.   If a game in progress is terminated due to weather or other adverse conditions, the game will be considered completed if at least 10 (ten) minutes of the second half have elapsed. Matches of lesser duration will be rescheduled.

3.   Requests for non-weather related game postponements must be made using the Request to Postpone Game no fewer than 14 (fourteen) days before the scheduled game date. Such requests will considered and a decision made in a reasonable time.

4.   Scheduling make-up games is the responsibility of the home team coach.

a.   The home team shall contact the opposing team within 7 days of the date of the cancelled game and shall offer 3 reasonable make-up dates, times, and locations.

b.   The opposing team shall have 48 hours from contact to either accept 1 of the 3 offers or provide 3 alternative dates, times, and locations.

c.    If no agreement is then reached within 24 hours both teams will be granted a forfeit and the forfeit fee will be charged to the team's home club.

d.   The forfeit can be appealed, per the Protest and Appeals Procedures, Section 22 of the Wyoming Youth Soccer Rules and Procedures manual.

5.   The home team must check field availability once a new date has been determined.

6.   The home team must contact the referee assignor, and all other concerned parties, at least 5 (five) days before the scheduled make-up game.

7.   Make-up games must be played within two weekends of the last regularly scheduled league game, but before the start of the Wyoming State Cup.

8.   Disputes regarding make-up games shall be submitted to the league administrator.
