Game durations and the MAPS/MSSL referee fees will be the following for each Division. If the duration is longer for the division, the duration will be the overriding factor. Also, if the referee fee in the area is higher than the game card, the higher fee is paid. Each team pays one half of the referee fee. There is no overtime for League play.
Div 1 = U17-U19, 90 minutes, size 5 ball (Fee is $80 for center and $45 for ARs)
Div 2 = U15-U16, 80 minutes, size 5 ball (Fee is $70 for center and $40 for ARs)
Div 3 = U13-U14, 70 minutes, size 5 ball (Fee is $60 for center and $35 for ARs)

PASSES - Rule is "No Pass, No Play"
US Club passes are permitted for USCL games which are cross over matches between flights (the responsibility is on the coaches, not the referee to monitor this distinction), played under USCL league (We permit the use of US Club passes in certain games to allow teams the roster flexibility it provides).
One team cannot mix its passes, meaning the player passes of one team cannot be of different governing bodies. They are either USYSA passes or US Club passes - this applies to all players and coaches of a given team. Under USCL, teams may play against teams with other affiliations, meaning, US Club may play against USYS, just as it can occur in tournament play. US Club does not discriminate against other USSF affiliate organizations and as a result permits teams to use different passes in league play. (In tournament play, USSF permits sanctioning bodies to approve and host open tournaments whereby one team is allowed to play under US Club passes and the opponent play under USYSA passes. MSSL tournaments permit the same.)
Teams are expected to shake hands at the end of the game with the referee observing the teams.
Only if a player pass is held and the league needs to be notified of disciplinary action shall the report with pass be sent to the league. Send to: MAPS/MSSL

East Brunswick, NJ 08816
If a game is cancelled due to weather, the home team MUST notify the opposing team no less than 3 hours prior to the match-or at the earliest possible time (if game is at 8 AM, we do not expect a call to the opposing team at 5 AM, but certainly by 6 AM) being 6-7 AM. In addition, the HOME TEAM or club field/referee assignor MUST contact the REFEREE ASSIGNOR to let the assignor know for contacting the referees. Referees are NOT PAID in this case.
If, upon arriving at a field for a game, the referee determines the field is unsafe/unplayable, the teams WILL pay the referee(s) their fee. The referees do not remain at the field. The referees are only paid for the game in which they arrived and cancelled the game.
However, it is the responsibility of the home team to notify the next team on the field that the field has been deemed unplayable.
