Team Responsibility - Game Day Rosters
Managers and or coaches set their game day roster in their US Soccer Connect access and SMSL Digital Player Card. Instructions for the preparation of game day rosters for referee check-in are listed at the end of this email. Coaches and Managers should always prepare rosters prior to arriving at a game field.
Our goal is to be 100% paperless in the near future. Until that time and in case of any technical or coverage issues we suggest teams have a printout of a game day roster at early season games. Referees have also been asked to work with teams and ensure all games are played.
Rules

Weather
The weather for opening weekend has a chance of rain. Decisions on playable conditions lie within the following authorities:
1. The facility owner and or home club field coordinator (any time) prior to teams traveling or arriving at the game field.
2. At the field (before or during the game) - the assigned Certified Official
Courtesy and communication are a league expectation and lies with all coaches’ managers and referees. In the event of severe weather, other safety concerns or a field closure, please contact opposing clubs and teams immediately by using the team directory information in US Soccer Connect schedule. If a game is not played, we ask teams to begin and complete the rescheduling process ASAP.
Score Reporting for Standings
SMSL Rules require the home club contracted referee to enter scores as soon as possible. At the conclusion of a game, please ask the referee to put the score in immediately. We want all teams in the league to see live standings. If your game score is missing, please enter the score in your manager / coach access. If the Referee reports the score first, the result becomes locked.
