Changes to CMSA Format for Outdoor
2014-04-04
CMSA has made changes to the format for this outdoor season.
Please take a moment to see how the new changes to the CMSA Outdoor Season Format may affect you.
Please see the following Document which outlines all of these changes: Outdoor Season Format
Summary....
Preseason instead of Seeding round – April to May:
Teams will participate in a 4 game preseason against competition registered in the same tier. This will run from the end of April to the middle of May. The purpose of the pre-season round is to see if the team is properly placed in the right tier. The regular season will commence at the end of May once the preseason round has finished.
Outdoor Season length – April to July/August:
The season will be the same as it has always been. The outdoor season will run from end of April to the mid-end of July/Early August (depending on tier level and age group – See the below Outdoor Calendar). There will be a fall season that will begin in September as an additionto the current outdoor season structure.
Fall Season – September to October:
There will be a fall season added to the outdoor season, where some teams will participate (or have the option to participate) in the month of September. Fall season is scheduled to begin on September 2nd, and go until October 5th.
The list of age groups and divisions included in the Fall Season are listed below:
U10 Tier A & B – Mandatory
U12 to U16 Tier 1 & 2 – Mandatory
U10 Tier C – Optional
U12 to U16 Tier 3 & 4 – Optional
