​
PLAYER MOVEMENT / TRANSFER:
Players are permitted to move between teams while a team is still competing in the season however, players cannot move from team to team once the rosters are frozen.

ADULT LEAGUE DIRECTOR:
Each Adult League Division will have both the Davie United Soccer Club Executive Director & Adult League Director who will serve as the person of contact for Team Captains and the point person for the Davie United Soccer Club Board of Directors.
TEAM CAPTAIN:
Each team must designate a Team Captain and better yet, a Co-Team Captain. Each team is permitted a maximum of two Captain's/Coaches. The Team Captain(s) must identify them self to the League Directors prior to the first game via an email to adultleague@daviesharks.com. There will be a Captain’s Meeting prior to the first weekend of games to go over roles, responsibilities and expectations. During this meeting, any proposals for possible new rules can be discussed. Once rules are understood and agreed upon, NO changes to any rules during the season will be made. A communication will be sent to notify of date, time and location (usual done via a video chat meeting).
​
Captains are responsible to be the leaders of the Davie United Soccer Club divisions and are counted upon to carry out and demonstrate positivity amongst their respective teams/players.
​
Captains are responsible for registering as a "COACH" for their respective team in the SQWAD app (this serves as a second registration, and is FREE). By doing so, it is the Captains job to make certain each of their rostered registered players has their uniform/jersey number assigned matching the team roster upon the app, along with the players profile picture and players information is correct. If it is discovered that a Captain allowed a non-rostered player or a knowingly illegal player to participate in an Adult League match, the Captain will be sanctioned and suspended from the League.
LEAGUE FORMAT:
There will be two seasons within the league, a Fall Season and a Spring Season. Each season teams will play in a Pool Play format before entering Playoffs. A Champion will be crowned in both the Fall Season and Spring Season with a Championship game being played between the winners of each season called the SUPER CUP. If the same team wins both the Fall Season and Spring Season, they are automatically crowned the SUPER CUP League Champion and a Championship game is not required.
PLAYOFFS: (Top 8 Teams qualify)
Single elimination games in which teams are seeded based on Pool Play standings. The top eight (8) teams at the culmination of the League Games will be placed into the Playoffs, which will be considered a Quarter Final and Semi Final followed by a Championship game. As the league grows we will consider adding more teams to the Playoffs.
​
TEAM WITHDRAWALS:

Withdrawal/Dissolution:
If a team withdraws or dissolves and is no longer able to participate in the league, all games that were previously played and all games scheduled will be resulted as a 4-0 victory for the opposing team.
​

All forfeit wins are considered 4-0 games and the team that forfeits the game loses two points from their points tally.
REFEREES:
The Davie United Soccer Club Board of Directors will utilize the club Referee Assignor to assign officials for all games.

​

​
SPORTSMANSHIP & PLAYER CONDUCT:
Davie United Soccer Club expects all players to act in a grown up, mature, responsible manner. The highest levels of Sportsmanship are required. Under no circumstances will foul or abusive language to game officials, opponents, teammates or supporters be tolerated. Players should set an example to those watching on the sidelines and be role models for one another.
RED / YELLOW / CARDS:An accumulation of five (5) yellow cards over the course of the league season will result in a one game suspension. Following the fifth (5th) yellow card a one game suspension will be awarded after every second yellow card. For example, after the 7th, 9th and 11th yellow card etc. a one game suspension will be sanctioned to the player. Should a player pick up their fifth yellow card in the final pool play game of the season before Play Offs, that player must serve their suspension in the first Play Off game should their team progress to that stage.
​
A straight red card means a player is dismissed from the game, no re-entry into the game and nor shall the team be able to substitute a player in to replace the dismissed player. This player must leave the bench and field area before the game will resume. The team will play with one (1) less player for the remainder of the match. A straight red card is an automatic two (2) game suspension. A red card for Abusive Language towards an officials is an automatic four (4) game suspension. The suspension always starts with the next game on the teams schedule. If a player receives a red card in the final league game prior to Playoffs, the player in question will not be permitted to play the Playoff games until the suspension is served. Two (2) yellow cards culminating in a red card meets with a one (1) game suspension. Three (3) red cards in the same season results in a player being suspended for the remainder of the season.

There will be a 10-minute grace period from the scheduled kick off time for a team to provide the sufficient number of players. If the sufficient number of players turn up after the allotted time, the teams can still play the game providing both teams agree to play however, the forfeit will still stand. The officials are not obligated to stay and officiate the game once a forfeit has been determined.

​
SLIDE TACKLE RULE:
If a defending player slides to the ground and impedes, or interferes with another player with or without the ball— this is a slide tackle foul. Whether intentional or unintentional.
The aggression and severity of the slide tackle is at the referees discretion. No card, Yellow card or Red card. All slide tackle fouls that are not yellow or red cards whether given inside or OUTSIDE the penalty box are INDIRECT free kicks.
If a player slides and does not interfere with another player, by way of impeding the opponent, making the opposing player have to change their direction, making contact with the player, or etc., and there is no clear offense or danger to what slide the defending player did––no slide tackle foul is given.
​
If a YELLOW or RED card is declared on a slide tackle in the penalty box area—a PENALTY KICK will be awarded. If a slide tackle is ruled but is considered to be harmless --it is just an indirect Free Kick.
​
NO METAL STUDS ON SOCCER CLEATS ARE PERMITTED.
SHIN GUARDS MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIME WHEN PLAYING A GAME UPON THE PITCH.

CANCELATIONS/WEATHER:
Any cancellations due to weather or changes in schedule will be communicated to the team Captain's via the Captain's What's App chat.
GAME COMPLETION:
11v11 games are 45 mins halves and 10 minute half times. All games are considered official once we get to the 65th minute. If a game is cancelled after the 65th minute for any reason, forfeit, adverse weather, the game is considered official. If a game does not make it to the 66th minute of play, the club will look to reschedule the game to an agreed upon date and time from both team captains. Goal scored, yellow cards and red cards (unless it is a red card worthy of expulsion from the league) will be rescinded and not count towards the current season.
​
In Play Off games, if the same situation arises where the game is cancelled once we get to the 65th minute for any reason, forfeit, adverse weather, the game is considered official. If the game is a tie game, 0-0, 1-1, 2-2 etc., the higher seed team will be the team that advances to the next round and the lower seed team will be eliminated.
​
