Region Cup Policy (full details)
What is the Region Cup?
The Region Cup is an end-of-season tournament that determines the Region Champions in the 10U through 18U divisions. These teams will advance to the Area tournament at the conclusion of the season.
How does the Region Cup Work?
The Fall season will be divided into two phases. First, we will play a season of “Friendlies”, focusing on player development. Standings for these matches will not be kept.
Second, we will play the annual Region Cup Tournament. Only teams that have provided the required referee support (by earning the required number of Referee Credits) will qualify to play in the tournament. The tournament outcome will determine the Region Champions in each division.
How can my team earn Referee Credits?
Referee Credits can be earned in two ways: refereeing games or completing volunteer hours.
For each game worked by a certified referee, either as an Assistant Referee (AR) or as a Center Referee (CR), a referee credit will be awarded to the team they represent. Referees may only represent a MAXIMUM of three (3) teams throughout the season. Any exceptions to this policy must be pre-approved by the Region 112 Executive Board.
Referee credits can also be earned with volunteer hours. Each team may earn a maximum of 3 referee credit points for 3 hours of volunteer services to the region by volunteering time at Picture Day, Soccer Fest, Coach Orientation Day, or by providing field support.
