Your participation makes this the premier event of the year for our association. We are honored to host you in this tournament, which showcases the best soccer skills, teamwork, discipline, and fair play from the youth soccer players of New Mexico. You represent the best NMYSA has to offer and we are proud of you. Our State Cup is part of the US Youth Soccer National Championship Series, in which 185,000 players and 10,000 teams from 55 state associations throughout the nation compete to crown national champions for the U-14 through U-19 age groups, both boys and girls. A form of the US Youth Soccer National Championships was first held in 1935. After adding age groups throughout the years, it reached its present format in 2001. We have spent many hours preparing for this event, with the goal of having the best team in each age group, for both boys and girls, represent New Mexico in the Far West Regional Tournament. Our volunteers represent the spirit of our association and we give them our heartfelt thanks. A special thank you goes to the tournament committee: Gloria Faber, Executive Director/State Registrar; Josh Groves, State Technical Director; and Bob Bigney, Associate Technical Director/ODP Director. Thanks also to the field marshals, referees, coaches, parents, and all the volunteers who work throughout the year to make soccer possible for the players. Good luck to all the participants. Have a safe tournament and may you all perform at your best.

Duration of Play: matches consist of two halves of the following length—U12 = 30 minutes; U13 & U14 = 35 minutes; U15 & U16 = 40 minutes; U17, U18, & U19 = 45 minutes. Ball Size: U13 and older will use a size 5 ball. All games will be played on regulation FIFA-sized fields. SCORING METHOD IN THE PRELIMINARY ROUND AND POOL PLAY: In pool play and firstround bracket play, team standings shall be determined by accumulation of points awarded as follows: win (including forfeit) = 3 points; tie = 1 point; loss (including unintentional forfeit) = 0 points. TIE-BREAKING RULES IN THE 1st ROUND OF BRACKET PLAY: If necessary, the following tiebreaking rules will be used to determine the order of team advancement: 1.) Head-to-head results 2.) Winner of most games 3.) Cumulative goal differential between goals scored and goals allowed in all games played within the bracket. Maximum difference allowed is four (4) goals per game. 4). Most goals scored. 5.) Least goals allowed in all games played within the bracket. 6.) Kicks from the penalty mark per FIFA Law. This tie-breaking procedure shall be used if necessary to determine 1st- and 2nd-place standing within a bracket. If more than two (2) teams are tied at the end of the preliminary round, the tie-breaker criteria listed will be used in order shown beginning at #2, to either advance or eliminate one team. The remaining teams will then be compared, beginning again with criteria #2, to determine the ultimate placement. If more than two teams are still tied after #5 is applied, the team coaches will effect a draw (i.e., cards, straws, etc.) to determine the order in which the kicks from the mark will be taken. In the event that a team unintentionally forfeits one of its 1st-round bracket games, the opposing team shall be recorded the winner with a 4-0 win. OVERTIME PERIODS FOR ALL GAMES REQUIRING A WINNER: Overtime periods in games that must have a winner will consist of two complete periods of 10 minutes each played at the end of regulation play. If a game is still tied at the end of prescribed overtime play, FIFA “Kicks from the Penalty Mark” rules will apply in order to determine the winner. Page 4 2016 US Youth Soccer NM Open State Cup Program GRACE PERIODS: Any team not ready to play at the scheduled start time shall be granted a fifteen (15) minute grace period. A minimum of seven (7) players and one rostered coach of that team constitute a legal team. Any team not ready to play at the expiration of the grace period shall be deemed to have intentionally forfeited the game unless the State Cup Committee determines the delay is due to circumstances beyond the team’s control. SUSPENSION GUIDELINES: All suspensions due to this rule will be served during the tournament in which they were received in the National Championship Series (including Regionals, and Nationals). Suspensions will carry over from year to year until served. The term “game” shall include kicks from the mark taken to determine a winner at the end of overtime periods (i.e., kicks taken during round robin tie-breaker procedures as discussed above). The term “coach” shall include assistant coaches and trainers. The term “team official” shall include all rostered team personnel, including trainers. Suspended team officials may not be on the team side of the field. Suspended player(s) may remain on the team sideline if permitted by the game official; the player(s) must be out of team uniform or be covered. Coaches are responsible for the enforcement of suspensions. If a player or other team official participates in a game in which they should have been suspended, the team will be deemed to have used an ineligible player and will forfeit the game. Coach participation is defined as being on the team sideline. Player participation is defined as playing in the game. Players or team officials not listed on the official game roster are not allowed on the team sideline and may be ordered by a game or tournament official to leave. Failure to comply with the order may result in suspension and/or forfeiture. Coaches, assistant coaches and rostered team officials sent off the field of play for an infringement of the “laws of the game” shall have one (1) additional game added to the “Suspension Guidelines” below that would normally be levied against a player for a similar infringement. “Club” coaches or coaches listed on multiple rosters who are suspended will serve their suspension during the next scheduled game(s) involving the team they were coaching at the time of their suspension, unless that team has no remaining games in the National Championship Series. In that case the coach will serve his/her suspension during the next scheduled games(s) for which the coach is rostered in the National Championship Series. The State Cup Committee shall act on all disciplinary matters and shall have discretionary powers in determining disciplinary action applied to spectators, team personnel and players. Game suspensions listed below are to be regarded as minimums for the charged offenses. Depending on the findings of the Committee, penalties may be increased according to the gravity of the infringements. When sent off the field of play and shown the red card for infringement of the “laws of the game” players shall be suspended as follows: Serious Foul Play - All age groups: Suspend for a minimum of one (1) game. Foul and Abusive Language - All age groups: Suspend for a minimum of one (1) game. Second Cautionable Offense – Receiving a second yellow card after previous yellow card. All age groups: Suspend for a minimum of one (1) game. Violent Conduct - All age groups: Suspend for a minimum of two (2) games. Referee Abuse/Assault - All age groups: Suspend for a minimum of one (1) year with review by the Board of Directors regarding further disciplinary action. Referee abuse/assault includes, but is not limited to, pushing in an act of aggression, kicking, spitting at, striking or attempting to strike a referee, assistant referee, or fourth official. Any player or team official who refuses the referee’s request for their name or gives a false name, while the referee is gathering data to report on an infringement of the “laws of the game” involving them, shall have one (1) game added to the suspension that would normally be levied by the State Cup Committee. 2016 US Youth Soccer NM Open State Cup Program Page 5 In specific situations, the Committee may place an individual on probation, in addition to the suspension, for a period of time not to exceed the length of the suspension. The probationary period is to be served immediately following the suspension period and is intended to monitor an individual’s degree of reformation. Should an individual on probation be sent off the field of play and shown the red card during the probationary period, the original suspension and probation shall be re-applied and no appeal will be heard. UNFINISHED MATCHES: If the referee stops a match due to one team’s conduct, the match is declared a unintentional forfeit, with the offending team losing the match and the winning team being awarded the maximum points for that match. If the referee stops a match due to inclement weather during (a) the first half of play, the match will be rescheduled or (b) if after the end of the first half of play, the score of the match stands. FORFEITS: A. In the event that a team intentionally forfeits an NMYSA-sponsored game, an amount equal to the entry fee shall be charged to the team. The affiliate member in which the forfeiting team is registered is responsible for payment of the fee to NMYSA within 30 days. Any team that intentionally forfeits a game shall be suspended from further participation in the tournament. All of the forfeiting team’s games in the tournament including games already completed shall be null and void. Bracket standings shall be determined as though that team never participated in the tournament. An intentional forfeit (not an unfinished game) shall be defined as a willful act not to play in a scheduled game during a State-sponsored tournament, as determined by the State Cup Committee. The determination of the State Cup Committee is final, and not subject to dispute or recourse to the Protest and Appeals Committee. B. Any team that intentionally abandons a State-sponsored game will be fined an amount equal to the entry fee. “Intentionally abandon” shall be defined as a willful act not to continue play of a scheduled game once it has started as determined by the State Cup Committee. The determination of the State Cup Committee is final, and not subject to dispute or recourse to the Protest and Appeals Committee. C. The coach of the team that intentionally forfeits or intentionally abandons a Statesponsored game will be suspended by NMYSA from coaching in New Mexico from the time of the act for one calendar year. D. In the event that a team forfeits or abandons a Consolation or Championship game, preceding penalties shall apply and the opposing team shall advance. E. Any team which withdraws by notifying the Director of Cups and Games in writing prior to the draw will not have its entry fee returned and will not be further penalized. A team seeking to withdraw from a NMYSA State-sponsored tournament after the draw shall be considered as intentionally forfeiting. F. Any roster postmarked after the deadline for rosters for any NMYSA State-sponsored tournament will be fined $300 and the team will have three days after the notification to submit the money with their late roster. If a team does not pay the late roster fine, they will be dropped from the tournament and shall be considered as intentionally forfeiting. G. Any fine assessed by US Youth Soccer against an NMYSA team at any level above State Cup is the responsibility of the affiliate member whose team receives the fine. Any fine assessed against NMYSA by US Youth Soccer shall be passed on to the affiliate member of the offending team for payment. SIDELINES: Both teams will assume opposite ends of the same touchline. Spectators must remain on the opposite side of the field. Only coaches or trainers with a valid NMYSA pass card for the teams playing will be allowed on the team side of the field. All teams must have one of their rostered coaches at the field during the entire game. If a team’s only rostered coach is expelled, the team must forfeit the game, but will not be deemed to have intentionally forfeited the game. Page 6 2016 US Youth Soccer NM Open State Cup Program HOME TEAM RESPONSIBILITIES: The first team listed on the schedule is the “home team” for that match. The home team is responsible for a change of uniform in the event of a color conflict. SUBSTITUTIONS: Substitutions may be made at any stoppage, with the consent of the referee. For U-14 and below, an unlimited number of substitutions shall be allowed. For U-15 and above, the substitution policy currently used for the national finals shall be used, as directed by Region IV: a maximum of 7 substitutions for each team shall be allowed in each game during each half of play and during overtime play. After leaving the game during a half of play, the substituted player may not re-enter the game during that same half of play. After leaving the game during overtime play, the substituted player may not re-enter the game.

In various national surveys, behavior was the biggest concern in the game. This included both the abuse of match officials and the unacceptable behavior by over-competitive parents, spectators and coaches on the sidelines. The NMYSA “Caution: Children @ Play” program goals are to: 1. Provide all children a positive sports experience free from all forms of abuse 2. Promote exercise and sports participation for the development of healthy lifestyles that will promote wellness through the lifespan. 3. Provide a safe environment for learning positive life skills and the enjoyment of spare time in a sports experience. 4. Develop awareness of what constitutes maltreatment or abuse. Accomplishing these goals will result in players having more fun, developing sound character, building self esteem, increasing confidence, creating lasting friendships, and improving trust. Every parent, coach and player will be asked to abide by a Code of Conduct during State Cup. These Codes of Conduct will be distributed to each coach at check-in and are available on the NMYSA web site: http://www.nmysa.net/. Help us meet the number one goal of the “Caution: Children@Play” program by providing all children a positive sports experience free from all forms of abuse. 2016 US Youth Soccer NM Open State Cup Program Page 21 Parent and Spectator Code of Conduct We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behavior in the game.

I will: Remain outside the field of play and behind the Designated Spectator Area (where provided) Never engage in or tolerate offensive, insulting or abusive language or behavior Always respect the match officials' decisions Applaud effort and good play as well as success In addition, when attending youth games I will: Remember that children play for FUN Let the coaches do their job and not confuse the players by telling them what to do Encourage the players to respect the opposition and match officials Never criticize a player for making a mistake—mistakes are part of learning I understand that breaches of the code may result in action being taken by my League and/or my State Association.

CDC’s “Heads Up” Concussion in Youth Sports Program NMYSA Concussion Information Page US Soccer’s “Recognize to Recover” Player Health & Safety Program http://1.usa.gov/223taeW http://bit.ly/1N4q1o9 http://ussoc.cr/1RZIJhS NMYSA began distributing the "Heads Up" fact sheets for parents, athletes and coaches to local leagues and clubs with the 2014-2015 soccer season. In addition, we encourage all coaches to take the CDC’s online concussion training course. This simple online course is loaded with valuable information and direction for managing suspected concussions. Please take the time to review the "Heads Up" fact sheet and help to make youth soccer a safer environment for our children. US Soccer has also implemented a new program, “Recognize to Recover” (R2R), that contains information on a variety of player safety and health related issues, including concussion initiatives. Please visit the NMYSA Concussion Information page for links to coach, parent and player fact sheets, links to the CDC on-line training, a link to follow the ‘Heads Up” program on Facebook, and a link to download the “Heads Up” app for Apple and Android devices.
