What: OUSL is hosting “LEAGUE CUP 2012”. The League Cup is a competitive tournament and each team will play a minimum of three (3) reduced length games. All brackets have at least two preliminary games on Saturday and one preliminary game with possible playoffs on Sunday (see Tournament Format section below). League Cup is only for OUSL registered teams. Scores and standings will be kept in all age divisions. The coaching philosophies that the OUSL ascribes to will be maintained (i.e., every child will play at least 50% of each game, and coaches should have their players play all positions).
When: November 10 and 11, 2011. All games will be played at the standard OUSL playing fields.
Who: Boys/Girls U08, U10, U12, U14, and U19 teams that participated in the OUSL seasonal year are eligible to compete (U06 teams are not eligible). Participation is voluntary, a team may choose not to participate; also individual players may choose not to participate. Players must play on the same team they played with during the OUSL season. No loan players are allowed. Due to limited number of fields and the tournament format, only a limited number of teams can be accepted in each bracket. Applications will be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis.
How: Teams will be required to register on-line for the tournament no later than October 30th. Only checks made payable to OUSL will be accepted. NO CASH. On-line tournament registration is found on the OUSL web site, Tournament – League Cup. On-line registration will be accepted until mid-night of October 30th. The Tournament Director reserves the right to accept a late registering team if including the team simplifies the tournament scheduling. On-line registration is the ONLY method used to register for this tournament. For those of you who do not have an on-line account with CalSouth, you may send an email to the League Scheduler/ Webmaster, dperea_ousl@comcast.net, with your division (i.e., G08) and team name, email must be from the Head Coach or person responsible to register the team assigned by the Head Coach. Payment coupon will be sent to the person by reply email. Teams will be accepted to the tournament once payment is received by the Tournament Director. Payment must be received by November 4th so that teams can be accepted and the game schedule created.

No refunds will be granted after the tournament schedule has been posted. On-line registration fees must be mailed to OUSL, P.O. Box 2091, Orcutt, CA 93457, payable to “OUSL”. Once the check has been received, your on-line application will be accepted. You will receive an email when your team has been accepted to the tournament.
Mandatory Check-in: Each team must send a representative to the mandatory team check-in. The tournament check-in will be held on Wednesday, November 7th from 6:30pm to 8:00pm, at the Orcutt Academy multi-purpose room. (Please plan on attending the Annual General Membership (AGM) meeting being held at the same place and time).

Any team that misses the mandatory check-in will have one point deducted from each preliminary round or round-robin game.
Tournament Format: Each bracket’s tournament format is based on the number of teams entered in the bracket. The Tournament Director establishes each bracket’s format after registration is complete.
