VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE #5
01/09/2008
Some members of the Masters’ Divisions seem to be confused regarding the eligibility of their players. Let us try to clarify the issue once and for all! For the current (2007-2008) season, players born in 1972 and older are eligible to play in the Masters’ Divisions. These players are allowed to play in league games, VMSL cup games, and Provincial Cup games. Also, each team is allowed to register a maximum of 3 underage players as long as they are born in 1973, 1974, 1975, or 1976. These players are allowed to play in league games and VMSL cup games but NOT in Provincial Cup games.
The transfer deadline is January 15, 2008. The VMSL office will be open on Tuesday, January 15, 2008 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. to take care of last minute transfers. If you are transferring players, please make sure that you have all the paper work done correctly, that you bring the $15 fee, and that you have the player’s VMSL identification card. Also, please remember that a player is allowed to transfer only twice during one season.
The Cup draws will be held at the VMSL office on Saturday, January 19, 2008 starting at 12:00 noon. This includes the Imperial Cup, the Division 1 Cup, the Division 2 Cup, the Masters’ ‘A’ Cup, and the Masters’ ‘B’ Cup. There will be no draw for the Under 21 Cup since all the teams will be seeded according to the standings into 2 groups. They will then participate in a round-robin competition leading to the semi-finals and the final. The 2 top teams in each of the two Premier Division groups will be seeded in the Imperial Cup draw. Also, the 4 Division 2 leaders (2A, 2B, 2C, and 2 CAT) will be seeded in the Division 2 Cup draw. Finally, the 4 top teams in the Premier Masters’ Division will be seeded in the Masters’ ‘A’ Cup and the top 4 teams in the Masters’ Division 2 will be seeded in the Masters’ ‘B’ Cup draw.
All our members are reminded that the CAT system will NOT be in effect during cup play. This means that a player can only play cup games with the team with which he is registered.
