2.0 TEAM ALIGNMENT AND LEAGUE DIVISIONS

A.      Saskatoon Adult Soccer (SAS) has the right to place any team in any division they deem appropriate without the consent of the team, and it may do so at any time.

B.       Teams will have the opportunity to appeal their division alignment within the allotted time frame. Appealing the alignment does not guarantee an alteration to the placement. See Dates & Deadlines for the specific Alignment Appeal Deadline.

C.      Teams may be promoted or relegated as required.

D.      Recreational Divisions are those divisions throughout all leagues other than Competitive in Men’s, Women’s, Masters, Coed and Coed Masters. I.e.: divisions 1 - 8.

E.       We do not hold playoffs for Coed, Coed Masters, Coed Legends, or Legends.

F.       Teams may move divisions mid-season at the discretion of the board.

G.      The indoor leagues may pause in December for potential realignment and resume in January. Teams may be realigned under extreme circumstances at the board’s discretion.

i)                     If teams are realigned:

a.         Teams moving up or down may be eligible for Playoffs and the new division’s standing will not reset in January. Standings will not carry over to the new division.

b.         The original division that lost a team may go unchanged in January unless the rounds are inconsistent. If the rounds are inconsistent, games up to January may be considered exhibition. This will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

H.      The board may alter any alignment rule at their discretion.

I.         Players may participate in more than one (1) league but must be age eligible for the Masters and Legends leagues and/or fall within the special circumstances listed below.
