NTSSA Rule Changes
On July 10, 2011, attendees to the Annual General Meeting of the North Texas State Soccer Association voted to approve many changes to the Bylaws and tournament rules. Highlights from these changes are:
3.10.3.4 Member Associations may provide league play if they have enough teams, or may coordinate with other Member Associations to provide a league or games between Soccer Academy teams from different home associations. Age division play will be designated as Under 7 through Under 10. Scores and Standings should not be kept. Under 7 and Under 8 players may participate with Academy teams for one practice only per week and may not compete in more than one (1) Academy leave or scrimmage game per week.
8.1.13 All recreational players on a team must be invited to the tournament prior to a team adding guest players.
8.1.18 Any team that withdraws from a tournament less than two weeks from the start of a tournament or does not complete all required scheduled games, may not be allowed to enter any sanctioned tournaments until said team appears before the NTSSA Cup & Games Committee. The committee may issue sanctions to include suspension from tournament play.
8.1.19 If inclement weather cancels the tournament prior to the completion of a team's first scheduled game, a maximum of fifty percent (50%) of the team's entry fee may be retained by the tournament to cover start-up cost of the tournament.
NTSSA Youth Tournament Rules:
3 A game may be declared a forfeit by the Tournament Director/Committee if a team is not ready to play at the published time within ten (10) minutes of the game. At half-time the teams must be ready to resume play within five (5) minutes of the referee's designation.
