Dear Area 3E and 3G Regions,

The Area 3E and Area 3G 10th Annual A.Y.S.O. Select Sevens Tournament will be held on two Saturdays in June. Like last year there is one combined "high school" division for U-16 and U-19 players. The U-14 and combined U-16-19 Boys and Girls divisions will be held on June 5, 2010 at Herkimer Elementary School. The U-10 and U-12 divisions will be held on June 19, 2010 at the Westmoreland Town Park fields, Utica Proctor Park, and at the Washington Mills Athletic Park in New Hartford. Please review the information below.

Tournament Format

The tournament is planned to be round robin format with short-sided games, 7 v 7, in all divisions. Games will usually last 20 minutes with a short half-time break. Substitutions may be made at half time and, quickly, at a stoppage in play near half way through each half. Free substitutions will not be allowed. Maximum players per team roster is 12.

Participation will generally be limited to 6 - 8 teams per division and Regions participating last year will be invited to return. If more than 8 or more teams enter a division, the tournament committee may create two or more separate divisions, or may adopt a different format to accomodate time and field limitations (for example, with 8 teams, two 4-team divisions and a playoff format may be used).

Player Eligibility

Players must be registered with their A.Y.S.O. region and must have participated in the Spring 2010 season on a regular basis. (If the home region does not have a Spring Season then the players must have participated in the Fall 2009 season on a regular basis). Players must meet the maximum age requirement for their division.

Player Selection

When selecting players for a tournament team, each Region should use a process that is fair and open to all players, and provides as much participation for the players of that region as possible. During the tournament, Coaches should ensure that all players receive as much playing time as possible. Every player should play at least half of the available playing time at the tournament.
