State Cup
How To Be Come A Referee
USSF High School College Risk Management ______________________ Game Assignment Skill Enhancement Recertification ______________________ Rules Of Competition Grand Valley Soccer Association State Cup Midwest Regional League Super Y Premier National Premier League |   State Cup is a statewide competition (spring for boys and fall for girls) to determine a champion at each age level (14-19). The rules of competition are listed at www.michiganreferee.org under the "State Cup Rules" link. Beginning Spring 2012 the Michigan State Youth Soccer Association will hold the Junior State Cup Competition for u11, u12 and u13 teams. The competition rules and game-day procedures links are below. Also linked is the Jr. State Cup Severe Weather Policy. Due to the importance of this event, the Michigan Referee Committee assigns all referees at all stages of play. In order to be eligible for game assignment, you must be in their pool of identified referees. To be identified you must have a history of honoring assignments, be very competent as a center referee/assistant referee, and be recommended by an assignor, assessor, or instructor. Expect to have someone observe you during games. While you do not have to be a grade 7 or higher, it does help. If you believe you have the referee and management skills to be recommended for consideration, contact your assignor. He/she will tell you who to contact to begin the process. The State Cup Committee wants all officials in the Michigan State Cup Account to know about the new match report.
Each team will bring a copy of the match report to the field. Each match report should contain both rosters. You will give one copy to the winning team or host in the event of a tie. Keep the second until the end of the season in the event that there is a protest or conflict. The format of the match report is somewhat different than past seasons, so here are the highlights to know. Effective immediately: 1. Each team is responsible for submitting the identical match report. 2. If the match date, venue, or time changes for some reason, please correct it on the sheet that gets submitted. 3. The time of goal and goal scorers now need to be recorded. 4. The winning team is given the copies signed by both coaches, verifying the score, cautions, and goals scored. Any information related to misconduct is written on the back of the report that is submitted by the winning team (or in the event of a tie, by the host team). 5. All cautions and send off information will need to be noted using the USSF 7+7 codes. These are listed at the bottom of the sheet. List the name, team, time and reason clearly and concisely for all cautions and send offs on the back of the match report. (e.g., Peter Witt, Austin Bobcats, 14th minute UB-careless tackle; Carl Hoisington, Winston Rebels, 28th minute, UB-tactical foul.) 4. If there is a send off, contact the SYRA (syramich@gmail.com or 517-290-7681) so a decision can be made if a supplemental report will be required. This must be done within 24 hours of the end of the match. The USSF supplemental report is now posted on the ARBITER account for easier access. This form is sent directly to the State Youth Referee Administrator (SYRA). The form is also accessible at the bottom of this page. 5. DO NOT permit coaches or team to sign the sheet before kickoff. Their signature denotes that they have reviewed and verified the accuracy of the report. 6. ALL officials assigned state cup matches are to include their USSF ID and print clearly. 7. Keep the second copy for the referee's records in the event of a subsequent protest. Please be diligent in your effort to complete match reports accurately & promptly.
