Shoreline Adult Soccer League, Inc. Score Reporting Instructions For reporting your scores

These instructions are principally to SASL managers or any person responsible for reporting the score of an SASL game.

1) First and foremost, please review the SASL Rules & By-Laws on reporting scores. Please read ALL of rule C.17.

2) Basically, BOTH teams must report the score or postponement by absolutely no later than 6:00 PM on the Sunday of your game. This guarantees you will not lose points for tardiness (being late). DON'T FORGET TO REPORT!

3) If you show up for your game and is not played or completed for any reason, if it was postponed, abandoned or cancelled because either the referee or the town deemed the field unplayable, or your opponents failed to show up, etc., you must STILL send a match report indicating all the facts. You do not have to report if your game was postponed any time before the day of the game and is shown as postponed on the SASL Schedule. REPORT GAMES THAT ARE POSTPONED, ABANDONED OR CANCELLED ON THE DAY OF THE GAME!

4) You risk losing points for tardiness if you report after 6:00 PM and after I have already uploaded all the scores and standings to the SASL Website, or if you fail to report at all. REPORT BEFORE 6:00 PM!

5) We allow you up to two late or non-score reports to cover times when there is a miscommunication in who is reporting, or if your email server is down (this happens more than you would think) and genuine excuses like that. But, on the third occasion and every occasion thereafter your team will be deducted one point for each late score report. DON'T RISK LOSING HARD-EARNED POINTS AND INCUR THE WRATH OF YOUR PLAYERS!

6) Email me, , your score reports by 6:00 PM in the following format: Always, always, always make the Subject of your email EXACTLY like the following, NO VARIATIONS!: SASL SCORE REPORT All uppercase, do not jumble the words, or add or remove any other words. PERFECTLY spelt! I've seen as many as 20+ variations in the subject, usually with misspellings, a mixture of uppercase and lowercase, missing words or no Subject at all! And all in the same evening... The Body of your email should show the score with the home team first, the away team last. It should identify who you are, what team you represent, which league (Over-30s or Masters) and which division. This is all very important in determining who gets the SNR or point deducted when I only get one report. You don't want me taking points off the wrong team, correct?

EXAMPLE FORMAT for New Haven Rovers playing at home against Waterbury Wanderers. IT IS VERY SIMPLE!:

To: Subject: SASL SCORE REPORT   New Haven Rovers 5, Waterbury Wanderers 0   Brian Clough Manager New Haven Rovers SASL Masters League First Division Remember: -- Correctly spelled Subject line! -- Home team FIRST! -- Identify yourself! -- Identify your team! -- Identify your league! -- Identify your division!

Note that I will not reply or confirm receipt, I simply will not have time (I should be getting as many as 70+ emailed score reports), Sunday nights are busy enough with updating multiple Web pages as it is. Apologies for that! Please, please, please comply with these instructions and make my job easier!!! Many thanks in advance. Cheers, - Garry Archer (SASL Executive Board)
