Game Rescheduling

BAYS Travel Game Rescheduling

EVERY EFFORT SHOULD BE MADE TO PLAY GAMES AS SCHEDULED.  

BAYS has made it an effort to limit the number of rescheduled games.  Every effort should be made to play games as scheduled.  Missing your top player, or 'only having a few subs' is not a good reason to reschedule games.   If you do need to reschedule games, please read through the process below.   It's especially important that, when necessary, we reschedule games on time. 

Game change request forms must be submitted by  WEDNESDAY AT MIDNIGHT the week leading up to the game.  

To see a full list of the rules and process please see the BAYS website -- Rules Section 8: https://bays.org/book/bays-match-rule-8-%E2%80%93-reschedule-gamesplaying-schedule

Rescheduling Process

• If a HOME game cannot be played due to weather, the WSC board will notify all coaches & players by 7AM that Saturday morning.  (For mid-week games times may vary). 

• If a game cannot be played for any reason, it is the responsibility of the coach to notify their opponent of the cancelled games.  Opposing coach contact information can be found on the BAYS website.

• There is a very limited set of circumstances for which a game can be proactively rescheduled.  If a team has the minimum number of players (which is less than a full starting lineup), the game should be played as scheduled.  The approved reasons for rescheduling can be found on the BAYS website under League Rules - Rules Section 8 (link above). 

• If a game is proactively rescheduled, coaches must notify their assigned Division Director in writing prior to game day with the rationale for why a game cannot be played as scheduled.   The Division Director can be found on the same page as the season schedule on BAYS website.

• Coaches are expected to reach out to the opposing coach to identify available windows for game rescheduling.  For HOME games, do not finalize a specific time / dates / locations until you have confirmed field availability with WSC via the game change request form below.  

• For all HOME games, coaches must then submit a change request form to Winchester Soccer Club.  Coaches must submit this form for proactive game reschedules and games cancelled due to weather.   Simply signing up for a slot on SignUpGenius does NOT start the rescheduling process.

• Game change request forms must be submitted by  WEDNESDAY AT MIDNIGHT the week leading up to the game.  

If you are having conflicts or issues, please reach out to your Age Group Coordinator or WSC Director.
