Toowoomba Inter-Church Soccer

Hi all,

It has been a very interesting  first four weeks of the competition. There have been some hurdles to face with the start of the season but we have come through these.   We wish to thank everyone for stepping up and helping to get the season off to a positive start. We have also seen some great games and witnessed some beautiful goals, the type that cannot be repeated and will not be seen again!

The following are just a few reminders to be mentioned for everyone.

• All team cards are to be filled out and handed to the referee after the game. If the referee is unable to pass the team card onto one of the coordinators then please ring and let one of us know so we can pick it up the following week.
• At half-time,  all players need to be recorded onto the team card by the captain for insurance purposes. At the end of the match the Referee and captains can transfer the information accordingly.  It is very important this is done each match!
• Finally, some referees and team captains are doing a great job with getting the team card to the coordinators, but we have had some trouble collecting all of the information from the games. We have still managed to get the results which is the main thing,  but for player of the year, golden boot and Yellow/Red card stats, there is still a lot of blanks. There are some team cards from matches  where we are missing the scorers or player of the match.

After discussions between competition organisors and some of the team captains, the scoring system for 2009 will be changed to:

• 3 for a Win,
• 1 for a Draw and
• 0 for a loss.

This is the same as the English Premier League or the A League - I think people are pretty familiar with this scoring system. The competition table and other data will be changed to reflect this. Thanks,

Sean

There are three ways results will be received by competition organisors:

1. Email the result directly to Sean, Jamie or Daniel,
2. Enter the score in the website Forum - Unofficial scores, or
3. Via the official team cards that the referees will administer before the match or during half time. Referees will phone or email the team cards to event organisers and results will be posted to this website. Note in the event of any discrepancy team cards will be used as the official record.

The sooner this information is provided the quicker the competition can be updated. The table will be updated as soon as all results are reported.
