Update - The deadline to register your team for the Developmental Tournament is Wednesday, May 16, 2012.
The Diocese Developmental Tournament will be Saturday June 9th at Marshall Field. The Tournament is being organized. A summary of the tournament format can be found under the Developmental Tournament link on the left. Let Mitch know if you will enter a team(s); he will need team name, coach's name, and the make up of your team (e.g. 3rd grade, 4th grade, or mixed).
SCORE Game
May 9, 2012
SCORE game registrations are now closed. Payments are Due to Mitch, Friday, May 11, 2012. Mitch's address can be found under the Contact Info tab to the left. Please make all checks payable to the Diocese of Pittsburgh.
The SCORE games are our “All-star” game. Every team may send 2 boys and 2 girls. The games will be on Sunday June 3rd after the Championship games. There are 4 NON co-ed games – JV girls, JV boys, Varsity girls, and Varsity boys. Each player will receive a T-shirt. The registration forms and fees should already be in to Mitch Riehle. If you have any questions, please let Mitch know.
Field Monitors
April 1, 2012
We did well with rosters getting turned in however many teams did not turn in a Field Monitor. As a reminder, Field Monitors are required for every team. This is a mandate by Dr Bowes. The Field Monitor should be standing on the spectator side during the game and their main responsibility is to ensure that parents do not get out of control during a game. A field Monitor cannot be a coach during their own game. The teams that are listed as “NO” on today's email must get Mitch Riehle the name of their Field Monitor for their teams.
Reporting Scores
March 31, 2012
All game cards are to be sent to Mitch Riehle. They can be sent via US mail or scanned and electronically sent via email to Mitch. Games are not official until Mitch receives the game cards. The game cards are to be collected from the referee by the winning team or home team in the case of a tie. Game scores can be reported to Ken Busch for posting on the web site, but are not official until Mitch receives the game card. Please send section, level (JV or Varsity), date, teams and score when reporting results to Ken Busch. If game cards are not received by Mitch, the score will be pulled from the web site.
Cancellations Due to Field Conditions/Weather
April 1, 2012
If there are cancellations due to weather and/or field conditions, the home team needs to inform their opponent and the head of the referees (see the contact information and teleconference handouts). The more advanced notice you can give them, the better. For example, if it has been raining for a couple days and you know that your field will be unplayable and your normal game time is Saturday morning at 9:00, then do not wait until 8:00 that morning to cancel the game.
If the referees are already on their way by the time they are informed that the game was cancelled, the home team must pay the refs the full fee for one game.
If you email cancellations to Ken Busch, we will change the game date to "TBA". Once agreed to by both teams, you will need to email again so that we can reflect the updated date for the game on the website.
