WHY THE CHANGE
The decision to make the change was based on feedback from clubs on ways to help eliminate some of the scheduling congestion in the Spring season.  By having teams drawn into play-in games complete those matches in the Fall, it will allow us the opportunity to announce the complete 14U State Cup and Presidents Cup brackets in December, giving teams more opportunity to adjust their schedules and plan accordingly.

ARE YOU DOING THIS FOR THE 13U AGE GROUP ALSO?
No -  13U Boys and Girls as well as 15U-19U Boys play-in games will remain in the Spring. The decision NOT to change for the 13U age divsision is because for many 13U teams the Fall is their first season of 11v11 play, we wanted to give those teams new to 11v11 more time to adjust.

DO I HAVE TO BE REGISTERED TO AN IYSA MEMBER COMPETITIVE LEAGUE IN THE FALL AND SPRING TO BE ELIGIBLE?
YES - only 14U teams registered to an IYSA  member competitive league in the Fall will be eligible to be part of the 14U State Cup or Presidents Cup.  Teams also must be registered for the Spring season when group play will be played.

IF I DON'T REGISTER IN THE FALL - CAN I STILL PLAY IN STATE CUP OR PRESIDENTS CUP IN THE SPRING?
NO - brackets will be formatted based ONLY on the teams that register by September 1. Teams will NOT be added to brackets once they are announced on December 1.  Teams that fail to register in the Fall but do register in the Spring would be eligible for the Illinois Cup.

WHO WILL PLAY IN THE FALL?
Based on total teams registered and the general placement of seeded teams, IYSA will draw teams into play-in games. ONLY teams draw into play-in games will play in the Fall.
