State Cup TournamentProtocol State Cup Tournament Assigning is done manually upon referee request.

Officials MUST have more than one long sleeved shirt, appropriate warm-ups/ professional referee uniform appearance a MUST. This is a more formal match and we as officials should dress/look/officiate the part. Please review all state cup tournament rules prior to the match. NOTE: the association U11/12 rules may be different from WSYSA tournament rules - please apply the appropriate state cup tournament rules in your match. Do not request AR1 position, if you can't step into that position if the occasion arises. If you do not have the rank for the match, then increase your rank by: 1) asking for a mentor, 2) providing a mentor's or senior official's evaluation to the assignor. Some assignments have been made already. If you have not recertified by January 1st (and are supposed to be recertifying for 2026), your state cup assignment may be removed.

For recertification, please see the WASRC website at www.wareferees.org for the how-to's or if you have completed all the necessary requirements..

LIGHTNING!

cindy.r.moore@comcast.net (Cindy Moore) — Fri, 5 Sep 2025 20:41:49 PDT
LIGHTNING http://www-mo.weather.gov/safety/lightning-sports When should activities be stopped? In general, a significant lightning threat extends outward from the base of a thunderstorm cloud about 6 to 10 miles. Itâ€™s important to account for the time it will take for everyone to get to safety. Here are some criteria that could be used to stop activities. If you see lightning. The ability to see lightning varies depending on the time of day, weather conditions, and obstructions such as trees, mountains, etc. In clear air, and especially at night, lightning can be seen from storms more than 10 miles away provided that obstructions donâ€™t limit the view of the thunderstorm. If you hear thunder. Thunder can usually be heard for a distance of about 10 miles provided that there is no background noise. Traffic, wind, and precipitation may limit the ability to hear thunder to less than 10 miles. If you hear thunder, though, itâ€™s a safe bet that the storm is within ten miles. If the skies look threatening. Thunderstorms can develop directly overhead and some storms may develop lightning just as they move into an area. Where should people go for safe shelter? There is no place outside that is safe when a thunderstorm is in the area. Stop the activity immediately and get to a safe place immediately. Substantial buildings with wiring and plumbing provide the greatest amount of protection. Office buildings, schools, and homes are examples of buildings that would offer good protection. Once inside, stay away from windows and doors and anything that conducts electricity such as corded phones, wiring, plumbing, and anything connected to these. Note that small outdoor buildings including dugouts, rain shelters, sheds, etc., are NOT SAFE. In the absence of a substantial building, a hard-topped metal vehicle with the windows closed provides good protection. When should activities be resumed? Because electrical charges can linger in clouds after a thunderstorm has seemingly passed, experts agree that people should wait at least 30 minutes after the last thunder before resuming outdoor activities. KEEP IT SAFE! If you see or hear thunder or lightning; stop the match IMMEDIATELY and seek safe shelter (NO metal bleachers/dugouts NO under mental pop-up tents, NO under trees!--go to your car!). Wait 30 minutes after the last thunder/lightning is seen or heard. Call all players/coaches/teams back to the field-give them a few minutes to reset, IF time/field permits. Otherwise, at most of our turf fields that are rented in two hour time blocks-simply call the match and send a supplemental report to the league. See below for specific NPSL league reporting rules. BE SAFE! Keep it SAFE for teams/players/parents/coaches and OFFICIALS! page 8. . https://northpugetsoundleague.demosphere-secure.com/_files/about-us-1/documents-3/NPSLOperatingProcedures-2018-19%20Final.pdf (c) If it has been determined that a NPSL game is abandoned by the referee due to unsafe weather conditions, the following will be applicable: (1) If the game is abandoned in the first half, the game shall be replayed in its entirety with the score reset to 0â€0. (2) If the game is abandoned at halfâ€time or in the second half, the result of the game at the time of abandonment shall become final. No replay will be allowed.

2025/2026 Law Changes - MUST Reads

cindy.r.moore@comcast.net (Cindy Moore) — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 18:05:33 PDT
2025/2026 Law Changes - MUST Reads https://fatunetwork.net/fifa-and-ifab-announce-key-changes-to-football-laws-for-2025-26-season/ Outline summary of Law changes Individual Law changes Law 1. The Field of Play Clarification that the goal line technology (GLT) indication that a goal has been scored can be communicated via the referee’s earpiece/headset Changes to Law 1. The Field of Play > 1.11 Goal line technology (GLT) Additional text: Principles of GLT (…) The indication of whether a goal has been scored must be immediate and automatically confirmed within one second by the GLT system only to the match officials (via the referee’s watch, by vibration and visual signal, and/or via the referee’s earpiece/headset); it may also be sent to the video operation room (VOR). Explanation: Clarification that the GLT indication that a goal has been scored can be communicated via the referee’s earpiece/headset. See Law 1 Law 3. The Players The use of additional permanent concussion substitutions is now available to competitions Each team must have a captain who wears an identifying armband Changes to Law 3. The Players > 3.2 Number of substitutions Additional text (after the ‘Return substitutions’ section): Additional permanent concussion substitutions Competitions may use additional permanent concussion substitutions in accordance with the protocol listed under ‘Notes and modifications’. Explanation: Competitions now have the option to use additional permanent concussion substitutions. The protocol details are contained in the ‘Notes and modifications’ section of the Laws of the Game. See Law 3 Changes to Law 3. The Players > 3.10 Team captain Additional text: Each team must have a captain on the field of play who wears an identifying armband. The team captain has no special status or privileges but has a degree of responsibility for the behaviour of the team. Explanation: Teams must have a captain who can be easily identified by the referee. Armband details are outlined in Law 4. See Law 3 Law 4. The Players’ Equipment Clarification that players are responsible for the size and suitability of their shinguards Clarification of the requirements for the captain’s compulsory armband Reference to gloves to be included under ‘Other equipment’ Reference to tracksuit bottoms for goalkeepers to be removed from ‘Compulsory equipment’ and included under ‘Other equipment’ Changes to Law 4. The Players’ Equipment > 4.2 Compulsory equipment Amended text: The compulsory equipment of a player comprises the following separate items: (…) shinguards – these must be made of a suitable material and be of an appropriate size to provide reasonable protection and be covered by the socks. Players are responsible for the size and suitability of their shinguards (…) Explanation: Clarification that players are responsible for the size and suitability of their shinguards. Having provided this information in the definition of ‘shinguard’ in the Glossary, it is now also included in the Laws text. See Law 4 Changes to Law 4. The Players’ Equipment > 4.2 Compulsory equipment Additional text: The compulsory equipment of a player comprises the following separate items: (…) footwear The team captain must wear the armband issued or authorised by the relevant competition organiser, or a single-coloured armband that may also have the word ‘captain’ or the letter ‘C’ or a translation thereof, which should also be a single colour (see also ‘General modifications’). Explanation: The captain must wear an armband which is simple and conforms to the requirements of Law 4 relating to slogans, statements, images and advertising. It may be issued or authorised by the competition organiser. See Law 4 Changes to Law 4. The Players’ Equipment > 4.2 Compulsory equipment & 4.4 Other equipment Amended text: 2. Compulsory equipment The compulsory equipment of a player comprises the following separate items: (…) Goalkeepers may wear tracksuit bottoms. (…) 4. Other equipment Non-dangerous protective equipment, for example gloves, headgear, facemasks and knee and arm protectors made of soft, lightweight padded material is permitted, as are goalkeepers’ caps and sports spectacles. Goalkeepers may wear tracksuit bottoms. Explanation: Reference to gloves has been included under ‘Other equipment’ to reflect the fact that they are widely used, especially by goalkeepers. Reference to tracksuit bottoms for goalkeepers has been removed from ‘Compulsory equipment’ and included under ‘Other equipment’ to accurately reflect the fact that they are not compulsory. See Law 4 Law 12. Fouls and Misconduct Clarification that non-deliberate handball offences for which penalties are awarded are to be sanctioned in the same way as fouls which are an attempt to play the ball or a challenge for the ball Changes to Law 12. Fouls and Misconduct > 12.3 Disciplinary action Amended text: (…) Cautions for unsporting behaviour There are different circumstances when a player must be cautioned for unsporting behaviour including if a player: (…) handles the ball to interfere with or stop a promising attack, except where the referee awards a penalty kick for a non-deliberate handball offence denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick for a non-deliberate handball offence (…) Sending-off offences A player, substitute or substituted player who commits any of the following offences is sent off: denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by committing a deliberate handball offence (except a goalkeeper within their penalty area) denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by committing a non-deliberate handball offence outside their own penalty area (…) Denying a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity (DOGSO) (…) Where a player denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by committing a deliberate handball offence, the player is sent off wherever the offence occurs (except a goalkeeper within their penalty area). Where a player denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by committing a non-deliberate handball offence and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offender is cautioned. Explanation: Non-deliberate handball offences are usually the result of a player attempting to play fairly, so when a penalty kick is awarded for such offences, the same philosophy should apply as for offences (fouls) which are an attempt to play the ball or a challenge for the ball, i.e. DOGSO offences result in a yellow card and SPA offences result in no card. Deliberate handball remains a red-card offence when a penalty kick is awarded, as it is similar to holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc. See Law 12 Law 14. The Penalty Kick Clarification that part of the ball must touch or overhang the centre of the penalty mark Encroachment by players will be penalised only if it has an impact (same philosophy as goalkeeper encroachment) Changes to Law 14. The Penalty Kick > 14.1 Procedure Amended text: The ball must be stationary, on with part of the ball touching or overhanging the centre of the penalty mark, and the goalposts, crossbar and goal net must not be moving. Explanation: Clarification regarding the ball position for a penalty kick, as there can be disputes and/or delays, especially when the penalty mark is not a ‘spot’. Part of the ball must touch or overhang the centre of the penalty mark (just as the ball must be inside the corner area, including overhanging the corner arc, at a corner kick). As with other positional matters, if ground conditions dictate a slight change, this is a decision for the referee. See Law 14 Changes to Law 14. The Penalty Kick > 14.2 Offences and sanctions Additional text: (…) If, before the ball is in play, one of the following occurs: a team-mate of the player taking the penalty kick is penalised for encroachment only if: the encroachment clearly impacted on the goalkeeper; or the encroaching player plays the ball or challenges an opponent for the ball and then scores, attempts to score or creates a goal-scoring opportunity a team-mate of the goalkeeper is penalised for encroachment only if: the encroachment clearly impacted on the kicker; or the encroaching player plays the ball or challenges an opponent for the ball and this prevents the opponents from scoring, attempting to score or creating a goal-scoring opportunity (…) Explanation: Player encroachment can be difficult to detect and manage, especially at the lower levels of the game, where there may be no neutral assistant referees. However, it can easily be identified by the video assistant referee, and if Law 14 were to be applied strictly, most penalty kicks would be retaken. Since encroachment rarely affects the outcome of the kick (only if the ball rebounds into play), the same principle should apply to player encroachment as to goalkeeper encroachment, i.e. it is penalised only if it has an impact. See Law 14 Changes to Law 14. The Penalty Kick > 14.3 Summary table Amended text: Explanation: Player encroachment can be difficult to detect and manage, especially at the lower levels of the game, where there may be no neutral assistant referees. However, it can easily be identified by the video assistant referee, and if Law 14 were to be applied strictly, most penalty kicks would be retaken. Since encroachment rarely affects the outcome of the kick (only if the ball rebounds into play), the same principle should apply to player encroachment as to goalkeeper encroachment, i.e. it is penalised only if it has an impact. See Law 14 Guidelines for temporary dismissals (sin bins) The guidelines have been revised, including, most notably, to specify that a temporarily dismissed player can return to the field of play only during a stoppage and to simplify System B Changes to Guidelines for temporary dismissals (sins bins) Temporary dismissal period (…) The referee should include in the temporary dismissal period any time ‘lost’ for a stoppage for which ‘additional time’ will be allowed at the end of the half (e.g. substitution, injury, goal celebration, etc.) Competitions must decide who will help the referee time the dismissal period – it could be the responsibility of a delegate, fourth official or neutral assistant referee; conversely it could be a team official Once the temporary dismissal period has been completed, the player can return from the touchline with the referee’s permission, when the ball is next out of play The referee has the final decision as to when the player can return A temporarily dismissed player can only be substituted after the temporary dismissal period has ended (and only if the team has not used all its permitted substitutes and/or substitution opportunities, if applicable) (…) System A – temporary dismissal for all cautionable (YC) offences All cautionable (YC) offences are punished with a temporary dismissal A player who receives a second caution (YC) in the same match: will serve a second temporary dismissal period and then take no further part in the match may be replaced by a substitute at the end of the second temporary dismissal period if the player’s team has not used its maximum number of substitutes and/or substitution opportunities, if applicable (this is because the team has already been ‘punished’ by playing without that player for two temporary dismissal periods) System B – temporary dismissal for some cautionable (YC) offences* A predefined list of cautionable (YC) offences will be punished by a temporary dismissal All other cautionable (YC) offences are punished with a yellow card but no temporary dismissal A player who receives two cautions (YCs) in the same match is sent off (RC), even if one caution is/both cautions are for a temporary dismissal offence *Some competitions may find it valuable to use temporary dismissals only for offences relating to ‘inappropriate’ behaviour, e.g. Simulation Deliberately delaying the opposing team’s restart of the match Dissent or verbal comments or gestures Stopping or interfering with a promising attack by holding, pulling, pushing or deliberate handball Kicker illegally feinting at a penalty kick Explanation: To help manage temporary dismissals, a temporarily dismissed player can return to the field of play only during a stoppage after the end of the temporary dismissal period, i.e. not while the ball is in play If a temporary dismissal period is not completed at the end of the first half of extra time, it continues at the start of the second half of extra time (a temporary dismissal period cannot continue after the end of the second half of extra time, since temporary dismissals are not used in penalties (penalty shoot-out)) System B, which uses temporary dismissals as an additional sanction for specific offences only, has been simplified so that any two cautionable offences in the same match will result in the player being (permanently) sent off (RC) ‘Handball’ has been changed to ‘deliberate handball’ in the list of offences that might be suitable for a temporary dismissal if they stop or interfere with a promising attack (System B) See Guidelines for temporary dismissals (sin bins)

WPL Wildfire/Smoke Policy!

cindy.r.moore@comcast.net (Cindy Moore) — Fri, 18 Oct 2024 21:42:22 PDT
WPL Wildfire/SmokePolicy! Good afternoon, Over the next few days smoke from wildfires in Central and Eastern Washington is expected to blow into the Puget Sound area. WPL has issued a smoke advisory and provided clubs with the official WPL Smoke Policy. What you need to know: Air Quality above 150 games are cancelled and must be rescheduled Each team is responsible for monitoring air quality before and during their WPL matches. Due to the unpredictable nature of fire and smoke, air quality can deteriorate or improve rapidly. When air quality index number goes above 150, the match must be suspended to preserve the health and safety of our players. We recommend that our families use website https://www.airnow.gov/ to monitor conditions. From Don Sando, Renton Field Scheduler: I've not heard from the NPSL but the SSUL is leaving it up to clubs to cancel games. I assume the NPSL is doing something similar. As for Southlake, we will use guidance similar to the WPL with an AQI of 150 as the threshold for canceling games.

Payment Policy

cindy.r.moore@comcast.net (Cindy Moore) — Mon, 3 Jun 2024 09:28:48 PDT
Payment Policy All referees must submit their match and misconduct reports within 48 hours (by Tuesday night). If a referee has not submitted their report (s), then s/he/they/them can not be paid for the match. Zelle payments will be made weekly. No checks are issued... Match reports are processed on Tuesday nights (in general) after 8pm. Then the bills are sent to the clubs for review and approval. Once approval is received, I will begin paying. Payroll may take 2-3 days to accomplish. After each club has paid, then the website is updated from a pending/billed/ to a paid status and the pay period is defined as year, month, day, club. Look under what's new, month/payment and it will tell you for that pay period and when Zelle or Singlepoint payment was paid. Every effort is made to pay weekly but in general it takes a longer set up time to pay using Zelle the first time. Trias sends email reminders beginning Saturday night for missing Saturday reports, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday for missing match reports. Every time you access Trias on the first screen page you see, it will tell you if you have a missing report. No report, no pay and your self-assign privilege is removed until you submit a report. For those without a Zelle account, payments will be made each month by Singlepoint (direct deposit) or US Bill pay. These payments are labor intensive and delivery depends on either us bank singlepoint. If payment was not processed correctly using the bank account information provided, Trias must wait until the bank returns the money (1 - 30 days) before re-issuing a payment. Any costs involved are paid for by the referee, not Trias. All matches reports/billing are processed in bulk, not individually. So ALL match reports say billed/paid. Under what's new, it is stated when payments are actually made for what billing period. If matches are canceled for acts of nature (snow/floods/air quality), notice will be posted on Trias under what's new and it is the referee's responsibility to check the website to see if matches are canceled. All efforts will be made by an assignor to contact the referees before they arrive at the match, then the match is canceled (and they will not be paid for the match - unless club opts to do so). Referee will be directed to another match, if possible to officiate there, if referee is available to do so. Some leagues ask that the referee make the decision if the match is playable at game time on the field - if so and the match is declared unplayable, the referee will be paid for the match. If you have any questions, please contact your local club assignor (or me) and we will let you know the news as we know it. Please let us know asap if a field is unplayable so we can contact coaches, players, fellow officials, as well. We are all in this together! If you have a question, please ask? Your local referee assignor's name is available under Services: Officers Tim McMonigle - West Seattle and HSA 206-380-1806 timpatmc@gmail.com Adrian Lee - HPFC 206-228-2666 hpfc.fields@gmail.com Rich Turner - 206-948-6936 TriasSoccerReferee@outlook.com Thank you Cindy Trias Administrator, USSF Instructor, Assignor, Mentor and Referee 253-653-8308 cindy.r.moore@comcast.net

Match Safety and New WYS Regs

cindy.r.moore@comcast.net (Cindy Moore) — Fri, 31 May 2024 13:52:19 PDT
Match Safety and NEW WYS Regs WYS Recreational Cup and Founders Cup will adopt the rule considerations as cited below & attached. WYS Operations Committee to discuss implications for Presidents Cup and State Championships, however will likely align with rule considerations cited below & attached. Air Quality Index: https://connect.xfinity.com/appsuite/?#!!&app=io.ox/mail&folder=default0/INBOX Consensus to align around the following process: Home Team makes the decision play / postpone the match Decision can be made any time prior to kickoff AirNow is the gold standard measurement tool Match postponed at reading of 150 or higher Once a game starts, the decision to continue play / cancel will be made on-field based on player safety Heat Index Consensus that heat index cancellation decisions best made on-field with real-time info. Will continue to share USSF Recognize to Recover informational materials / recommendations (additional email / information to follow). HEADING, PUNTING, & BUILD- OUT LINE | RULE MODIFICATION https://connect.xfinity.com/appsuite/?#!!&app=io.ox/mail&folder=default0/INBOX Slide Tackling Consensus that further discussion needed for State-level recommendation. Potential opportunities to align slide tackle rules at different play levels (recreational, competitive, etc.). Several leagues now use digital cards and roster. Team manager to provide the device to allow referees to check in the teams. Only one league (NPSL, so far) permits a player's name to be hand-written on roster IF the team roster on the website has the player added to it. There are two rosters- team rosters as registered to the league and a game day roster. If player isn't on the team roster, then can not play (even if written on it). Coach must notify the opposing coach that he has a name handwritten on the roster. Opposing coach has the right to protest the game, if they want to. For the other leagues: Check rosters/cards. No card, no play. If whole team doesn't have cards, play the match BUT you MUST submit a supplemental report to the league and let them decide if match will stand or not. NOt our decision so please do not tell coaches they are playing a 'forfeited' match. The groups that participated in the discussion and aligned around the above considerations are as follows: District 2 (EYSA, LWYSA, NYSA, SnVYSA) North Puget Sound League Regional Club League Seattle Youth Soccer Association South Sound United League Washington Inland Soccer League Again, the goal is to align rule modifications in WYS-sanctioned play to create a shared understanding and alleviate confusion across all stakeholders. For Association Leaders that run in-house Leagues, thank you for your consideration in joining the groups above and aligning rules with those cited. Trias Match Safety per LOTG No jewelry! All earrings MUST be removed for player safety, not taped but removed. Can't be removed? Then can't play, according to laws of the game. Trias will NOT pay for matches that referees do not enforce this basic safety rule. Goals MUST Be Anchored! PLEASE MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE GOALS FOR EVERY MATCH THIS WEEKEND-KEEP IT SAFE FOR THE PLAYERS AND YOURSELF-SANDBAGS OF ADEQUATE WEIGHT TO ANCHOR THE GOALS, STAKES WON'T BE PULLED OUT OF WET GROUND, ETC. IT IS THE HOME TEAM COACH'S RESPONSIBILITY TO ANCHOR GOALS BUT ONLY IF YOU DO YOUR JOB AND LET HIM KNOW THE GOALS ARE NOT ANCHORED. CHECK, CHECK, CHECK THOSE GOALS! Professional referee uniforms MUST be worn. No basketball shorts, no black crew socks, shirts tucked in, watch (no cell phones for time keeping) wear a professional referee uniform. If you give a misconduct, submit a misconduct report within 48 hours on Trias under misconducts. No report, no pay as the match isn't complete. Supplemental match reports are found under referee: misconduct

Zelle New Payment

cindy.r.moore@comcast.net (Cindy Moore) — Tue, 5 Mar 2024 18:51:26 PST
Zelle Payments HOW TO GET PAID AS A REFEREE ON TRIAS We want all of you to be paid as soon as possible and as safely as possible. TRIAS added Zelle as the preferred payment method last year. Zelle is the preferred payment method of Trias. Payments made with Zelle will appear in your bank account immediately, are safe and are easy for you and for TRIAS. Checks or online deposits can take up to 6 weeks before you see the funds in your account. By switching to Zelle it allows us to remove your banking information from TRIAS which is the best argument for switching to Zelle. Zelle Setup Instructions • Contact your bank or credit union and set up Zelle on the account you want your referee payments to go to. It is an easy and quick process. You can choose a cell phone number or an email address to connect with Zelle. It's possible to do this with your banking app on your phone. • Most major banks and credit unions are using Zelle, and even a lot of smaller banks too. • List of banks/credit unions that use Zelle: https://www.zellepay.com/get-started?gclid=Cj0KCQjwxuCnBhDLARIsAB-cq1oEaPs-3IrGOCqMMCrryQPJx8FheQFmvfvNSrgsgD16uto-2eYsoLcaAgsqEALw_wcB • If your bank uses Zelle, then you DO NOT need to download the Zelle app or register with Zelle. By using your banking app or logging into your bank account you can register with Zelle through your bank. • However, if your bank or credit union does not use Zelle then you'll need to download the Zelle app to use your phone, or Register online with Zelle to use your computer. • If using your Phone - Zelle app download https://www.google.com/searchq=zelle+app+download&oq=Zelle+app&aqs=chrome.1.0i131i433i512j0i433i512j0i512l7j0i433i512.15689j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 • If using your computer - Zelle registration:https://www.google.com/search?q=zelle+app+registration&ei=gTYuY_GkBZjYptQP9P-vsAE&oq=zelle+app+register&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAEYATIFCAAQgAQyBggAEB4QFjIFCAAQhgMyBQgAEIYDMgUIABCGAzIFCAAQhgM6CggAEEcQ1gQQsAM6BwgAELADEEM6DQgAEOQCENYEELADGAE6EgguEMcBENEDEMgDELADEEMYAjoFCAAQkQJKBAhBGABKBAhGGAFQtQhYpBJgziNoAXABeACAAVyIAfQEkgEBOJgBAKABAcgBEsABAdoBBggBEAEYCdoBBggCEAEYCA&sclient=gws-wiz 1. Log into TRIAS, go to Services--Profile, click on the Preferences tab, and enter the phone number or email address you chose to associate your bank with Zelle into the "Zelle" field. 2. Match Reports MUST be submitted no later than Tuesday at 6pm PMT, but we prefer to have them submitted the same day as the match. Payments will not be sent out until the Match Report is submitted. 3. If you can't or don't want to be paid with Zelle, don't enter anything into the Zelle field, and you will be paid by US Bank ACH Deposit - Singlepoint. It is not timely and requires your bank account information be stored on TRIAS in the preferences tab of your profile. TRIAS would like to remove your banking data as a precaution. 4. MINORS ONLY (17 years old or younger). Washington State Law requires parents or legal guardians to co-sign bank accounts for minors. Payments from TRIAS must be made out to the referee. Therefore, the bank account linked with Zelle must have the referee's name on it. Parents/Guardians please create a bank account for your minor, if you have not done so already. Most banks allow you to create a free companion account that can be connected to your main account. 5. 6. As a reminder, reffing through TRIAS has several advantages: • Matches are paid weekly, whereas other referee chapters pay monthly or bi-monthly • The clubs within TRIAS (West Seattle, HSC, HSA Select, HPFC, Southlake and Puma's) pay the referee assignor/chapter/administration fees, so you get the whole amount listed under Services-Fees. Other referee chapters take out a good chunk (between 5-10%) of your fee for the assignor/chapter fees - only TRIAS gives you the whole referee fee amount. Thank you to TRIAS clients who pay this fee for you! Also a big shout-out to TRIAS assignors, who assign without any pay deducted from the referees or charged to the clients - another way all the referee fee goes to the referee. Trias assignors are volunteers; here to help you and serve the game. • Referee pay amounts per age group are among the highest fees paid to refs of all the local referee chapters • You have hands-on assignors/mentors willing to help with whatever you need Thanks!

SSUL NEW MASK POLICY

cindy.r.moore@comcast.net (Cindy Moore) — Mon, 28 Mar 2022 13:15:31 PDT
SSUL NEW MASKPOLICY Return to Play Protocol Update for SSUL Games - All SSUL Counties in Phase 3 Based on updated status from Gov. Inslee and Washington State Department of Health released earlier this week all counties with the SSUL have been moved into Phase 3. Washington Youth Soccer and the SSUL have updated our protocol to reflect these changes. Soccer players are allowed to remove facial coverings when actively playing in soccer games. Facial coverings must be worn by athletes when training or when not actively competing in a game or match against another team or when on the bench waiting to play. Coaches, trainers, and officials must wear face coverings at all times, UNLESS they are fully vaccinated. Officials and referees are allowed to remove their facial coverings if officiating requires them to run in the field of play. Masks must be worn by players at all times when in a practice or training session. Really important to note that some cities, counties, or school districts may have different rules around masks. We all need to respect these local rules. We need to ensure our parents and fellow coaches respect these rules when traveling to other locations. Failure to follow these rules could put teams’ and clubs' access to soccer at risk. YOU as a coach need to ensure your player and parents follow these rules. Please be respectful of the local referees and any guidance they provide. To reach more about Washington Youth Soccer’s Return To Play Protocol please visit the following website. https://washingtonyouthsoccer.org/washington-youth-soccer-return-to-play-guidelines/ Please keep your players and families informed and make the return to play fun for all! Thank you, South Sound United League

PSPL The Very Latest Reminders

PSPL THE VERY LATEST Rules Reminder Coaches, Managers and Club Officials, Club Officials, Coaches and Team Managers, The PSPL has received a number of violation reports regarding improper paperwork and misuse of "Player Pass" rules. We will try to explain these rules better to avoid any confusion there may be. These rules have been in place in the PSPL for years. US Club Official rosters- The US Club Official roster must be up to date, typed and clean with no handwritten jersey numbers or handwritten names listed on it. There is an exception. If player(s) are “player passed” and have the same jersey number as a player on the original team, you may write the player’s temporary number next to the player’s name on their US Club Official roster. You must inform your opponent about this change prior to the start of the game. Every team should have at least one extra jersey that has a unique number different than any other player rostered on the original team. All players must have a unique jersey number when playing in a game. For WNPL/WSPL teams, there are no exceptions to the jersey number rule which also includes taping or altering a jersey #. Again, "player pass" players must that may have a unique jersey #. If their number is the same as a player on the original team, the temporary numbers can be handwritten next to the name of the player who is "passed" on their US Club Official roster. For teams playing in Classic and Copa divisions, we understand once in awhile players forget their jersey. If this happens, inform the other team and referee prior to the game and note the change of player’s number on the US Club Official Roster. A fine of $100 will be assessed for each occurrence to the Club regarding jersey numbers and improper US Club Official rosters. PSPL Game Day Sheets - Please use the most current version located on our website or follow this link: http://psplsoccer.com/_files/forms/PSPL_Game_Roster_2016_2017.pdf. The current form gives the referee a column to “check off” all players in attendance and a column to mark any “player passes” your team may be using. The top information area must be filled out completely and accurately. 4 copies of the “Game Day Sheet” should accompany each team, for each game. One copy (along with your US Club Official Roster) should be exchanged with your opponent prior to the game. If neither team inquries about exchanging this paperwork prior to the game, there is no recourse after the start of the game(see Rule 301 C). The other 3 Game Day Sheets should be given to the referee. At the end of the game, the referee keeps a copy from each team. Each team receives 2 signed copies from the referee, one of your team’s and one of your opponent’s. These are the official documents of record used in any type of dispute. The copy exchanged prior to the game is for reference only. It is not an official document of record and will not be accepted by the league to settle disputes. Regarding use of the “Player Pass”- Please follow this link to read Rule 302 regarding the use of the “player pass”. (http://psplsoccer.com/leagues-5/league-rules). Of note are a couple of things: A maximum of 4 players can be “passed” for a given game. You must have the US Club Official roster that the ”player pass” player is rostered to in your Club. The US Club Official roster that "player passed" players are rostered to must be given to your opponent prior to the start of the game along with a Game day Sheet and your team's US Club Official roster. There are strict “player pass” rules for the use of WSPL and WNPL players. Please understand them. If players are being “passed” down many levels (example: Classic 1 to Copa 2), and the game ends up being a lop-sided affair because of the use of these “passed” players, your club will be hearing from the league. From an ethics standpoint, misuse of the “player pass” can result in a Club or Clubs losing their ability to use “player pass”. Again, please read and understand the use of the "player pass". It is a great tool for the players if used properly. In closing, the PSPL wants every player and team to play hard, be competitive and have fun. Cheer positively for your teams and players. Understand that refereeing is a tough job and mistakes will be made. At the end of the game, each team, coaches, referees and spectators shake hands and be respectful of each other. Good luck to all the rest of the Fall season! --The PSPL--
