AUTOMATED SCORE REPORTING

The VYSA State Cup is now using an automated score reporting system!  This new feature is very exciting as the scores, when called in by the WINNING team, will automatically post to the State Cup web page.  No longer will there be a lag time in entering scores. 

PLEASE NOTE - The automated system does not have the capability of differentiating when a game goes into OT or PKs. We are working with Demosphere to get the capability but we are not there yet.  See additional reporting requirement below for games that end in OT or PKs

For ALL games (Regulation, OT and PK), prior to leaving the game field, the WINNING team must -

1. Dial 571-730-5995 or 1-866-334-6294.
2. When asked, say or enter the pin number of the event, and the code of the game (the code is the game number). Your pin number is 5584.
3. You will then be told the division, teams playing, and field location - if this is the correct game, confirm by saying yes.
4. When asked, say or enter the score for each team, then confirm.
5. You can do more games in the same call, or just say goodbye when done.

Once you hang up, the scores will be automatically posted!  This is very exciting for not only VYSA but more importantly for the teams who like to see the scores go up quickly.

For games ending in OT or PKs, please send an email to your Cup Chair noting either the OT designation or, in the case of PKs, the score at the end of regulation and the score at the end of PKs.  The Cup Chair will then add this designation to the appropriate game.

For any RED CARD EJECTIONS, it is the responsibility of the WINNING team to email the appropriate State Cup Chair prior to mailing the game report.  This information is critical as it is needed by the State Cup Chairs to ensure that the required sit-outs are carried through.  The email MUST include the Name of the Team, the Jersey #, and the Name of the Individual receiving the RED card.

ALL teams are still required to mail in their game reports immediately as defined in the Welcome Letter.
