The Playing League for all
Traveling Age Teams In District IX

The purpose of the District IX Playing League is to facilitate inter-league play between member leagues within District IX and with leagues from such other districts as approved by the District Commissioners and CYSA where the individual leagues cannot field enough teams to form their own leagues or where it is desirable that a multi-district league be formed to provide sufficient competition for teams and players.

Red Card Procedures & Information

Please review the "Policies, Procedures & Rules for the WZPL. Article 7, and Appendix #1 deals with matters concerning PAD. Any team that is playing in the WZPL, U12 and up, falls under this article. You may download this off of the WZPL website.

Please keep in mind the following:

  1. All red cards will have an automatic one game suspension for a player and three game automatic suspension for a coach.
  2. Referees must send me the ejection report correctly completed and player pass. The committee relies heavily on the ejection report from the referee, so take some time in writing this. This must be done asap so the process can begin.
  3. Per the rules, the PAD committee may meet via phone or in person.
  4. Players and coaches have the right to a formal PAD meeting / Hearing.
  5. For a suspension of two or more games the player must have the "blue card" signed off by the referee.
  6. This card is then returned to me. I will hold the player pass until suspension is completed.
  7. The PAD Committee will use the guidelines for suspension as outlined in the CYSA Team Manual.
  8. Again, please read and review the WZPL rules.
  9. It is the responsibility of the league presidents to pass this information on to their coaches.
  10. It is my desire to have the player back on the field, as soon as his/her suspension is served. If it is convent, I don't mind bringing the player pass to the field before the game. I will also have a PAD "mail box" on my front porch for use if I am not home. Let's work together to make this happen quickly.
  11. I will be calling league presidents to serve on the PAD committee. League vice presidents and District Board Members may also serve on the PAD. None may be a party to the PAD.

Cancelled Game Policy & Procedures

Scheduled games need to be cancelled by 9:00 pm, 2 nights before the day of the game. All teams are required to call the other coach whom you are scheduled to play,  your referee coordinator in the playing league. U-16's and 19's need to contact the Playing League Chair, U-12's and U-14's need to make sure the home field referee coordinator is notified. All properly cancelled games may be rescheduled with no penalties.

Procedure for canceling a game:

Notify the following:

  • Playing League Chair
  • Referee Assigner
  • Opposing Coach

Procedure for re-scheduling a game:

  • Home coach gets field availability
  • communicates with opposing coach for the date of the make-up game
  • notify the referee assigner and the Playing League President.

FORFEITURES: If a team does not show up with at least 7 players with current passes within 15 minutes of the game time, and had not cancelled by 9:00 pm, 2 nights before a scheduled match, the offending team will receive a forfeit for the game. If a team chooses to forfeit after arriving to the field for any reason before or during a game, the offending team will receive a forfeit for the game. If the home league does not have the fields ready to play on, the home team will receive a forfeit. As soon as a forfeit has been declared, the referee will note on the game card who forfeited, for what reason, at what time and the playing league game is officially over at that time. If the teams choose to scrimmage after the game has been officially forfeited, they may, under inter league play guidelines. All teams who forfeit games will be subject to a fine and forfeited games count as a loss in league standings.. U-12 and U-14 teams will pay $50, and U-16's and U-19's will pay $70. The game will not be rescheduled until the fee is paid. Once the fee is paid, the game may be rescheduled, but the make-up game will not count in league standings. Home leagues will be billed for team's forfeitures, and teams may come under suspension for forfeited games as stated in the playing league rules.
