During free change period:
Make sure all games will have player and coaching coverage.

After free change period:
Each team can make up to 3 schedule changes without fines provided they are >2 weeks before game start time.  Follow procedure above.  Can’t swap home and away games.

Don’t wait to cancel a game until you know of a reschedule date.  Cancel the game as soon as you know there is a conflict which will buy you time to work out the details of the reschedule.

Game change procedure(including rainout reschedules)

                AWAY games:

· Contact the opposing coach to determine a date.

                HOME games:

· Contact opposing coach and pick a tentative date. Make sure to provide:
Game number, month, alpha and numeric day of week, time.   IE  #489   Saturday June 10 6:00 pm

· Once a time is agreed upon contact the MESC field coordinator to make sure the field is available:  mescfacilitycoordinator@gmail.com

· Once the field is determined to be available the field coordinator will email the BCSA league coordinator, age group coordinator, both home and away coaches.  The league coordinator will change the master schedule and reply by email confirming the change.

BOTH away and home games during and after the free change period:

· Verify that your change went live in the master schedule on the BCSA website.  A few cases in past seasons did not, resulting in no referees for the game.

· It's very important to write 1 email per game change.  In the subject line have at least the game number, age group and gender.
