Preliminary Flighting for S08 is  scheduled to be posted 1/28 at MCYSA  http://www.mcysa.org/Flighting.htm  Please check your teams flighting - if you think it is not correct you must go through the Director of Travel  to request a change. Please include your team name, the flight you have been placed in and an explanation of why you think it should be changed. The Dir. of Travel  will submit your request to MCYSA but keep in mind that we cannot guarantee that any change will be made.

Please submit your requests by email  to the Director of Travel  by 2/1/08 to allow  time to submit the request to the league before 2/04/07. Anything after that is just too late.

Please note the flighting posting dates and deadlines are listed as tentative on the the MCYSA site - so please check often for the preliminary flighting - if you think your team is mis-flighted it is imperative that you get information to Clare Charles Director of Travel before the deadline - this is the only way we can request a flighting change and then nothing is guaranteed - if the league thinks that's where your team belong that's where it stays. Mis -flighting usually occurs because you did not give enough information about your teams' abilities etc. So if you're requesting a change please provide Clare with as much detailed information about your teams level of play and the reason you think they need to be moved. Saying you think they should be in a higher or lower flight with out detailed reason is just not going to make it happen. If you miss the deadline it is impossible to make a change.

Pre-season Game Date Conflicts:

Check Spring 2008 Game Dates   If the MAJORITY of the players on your  team have a conflict with a particular date and there are not enough to field a team, please note there are only specific reasons allowed and a team may make only one pre- season conflict request.   

• Review the information on Schedule Conflicts in League Handbook.

• Conflict Notices are due at MCYSA -2/04/07 --Your requests Must be to the SSC Director of Travel by 2/01/08

•  If a team has a conflict with a particular date where the majority of the team can not attend the game and therefore can not field a team, a Preseason Conflict Notice can only be submitted by the club League Contact.  (Do not submit this on the MCYSA site yourself)

• Please keep in mind that the league can only schedule games for the published game dates.  Once the league schedule has been completed, if there is a scheduled game for a team on the date listed in their Conflict Notice, the schedule will be marked showing the game can not take place on the scheduled date.  It is then up to the two opposing clubs to determine a new Game Date (and time and field) and submit the details on a Schedule Change Request form (after the Schedule has been posted) You must then follow the procedure for re-scheduling - home games through the Dir of Fields / Scheduling, Larry Zensen. Use the re-schedule form on the website - Coaches> forms> Travel Game change request form. Away games must be reschedule through the away coach. Contact the away coach asap.

Approval of the Conflict Date and Permission to Reschedule a game is not automatic.  Abuse of the Conflict Notification option has forced a new policy where submissions of multiple conflict dates for a team will not be honored.  Approval will be at the discretion of the Games Chair.

Exception: If you have a National Competition or State Cup game conflict your league game will be automatically postponed as you progress thru the competition.  If you have a bye for a National Competition or State Cup game you will be expected to play the league game as scheduled. Re-scheduling procedures must be followed for the missed league game.
