1. Spirit of the League:
a) All Players, Captains, Managers, Coaches, Referees, Board Members, and anyone otherwise associated with any League match, tournament or event, will be expected to abide by the "Spirit of the League", which is guided by the following Mission: “The purpose of the FCPTL is to increase the awareness, participation and enjoyment of healthy and friendly competition between clubs, teams, and associations throughout
Fairfield County, CT.”
b) It is expected that the aforementioned categories of persons will conduct themselves at all times with the utmost regard for the Spirit of the League, fair play, good sportsmanship, civil communications, integrity, and respect for their teammates and opponents.
c) Any participant in the League can expect to be treated in a like manner by any other participant, especially concerning matters of the League and friendly competition.
d) In most cases, as long as a match has been contested by all parties in good faith, the Board will prefer to let the results of the match take precedence over any post-match technical loopholes. The Board takes a very dim view of protests deemed to be a nuisance and without merit, and especially of those intended to cause harm to any affected party.
Guidelines 2015 – 2016
3. Player Eligibility:
a) All players must be a member of the Club for which they play, as determined by the club’s (facility’s) rules. In addition, at the following facilities - Darien Town & Town of
New Canaan - the following rule applies: At least 6 of the 8 players at each match must
be residents of the town in which the facility is located, and 100% of the players must be
residents of Fairfield County. The 2 (maximum) non-resident players must be Eligible
Non-Residents. A non-resident becomes Eligible after approval by the FCPTL Board. Clubs must e-mail a list of proposed non-residents to the Board on or before October 11th. The Board will then confirm which non-residents are Eligible Non-Residents.
e) Players can only play once per day and cannot play in more than 15 total matches,
regardless of the division, throughout the entire season (e.g. every match on Saturday
and only 2 matches on Sunday, or 8 matches on Saturday and 7 matches on Sunday, or
other combination).
Guidelines 2015 – 2016
League Rule Changes
Rule 3.c Player Eligibility:
Up to two Pro's (non-members) that are on staff at a given club may play subject to the following restrictions. A Pro becomes Eligible after approval by the FCPTL Board. Clubs must e-mail a list of Pro's that are on staff to the Board at least one week before the first match. The Board will then confirm which Pro's are Eligible Pro's. Eligible Pro's can only play in the top two divisions. In addition, only one Pro can be in the line-up for any team on a given Saturday.
For clarity, a Pro must play on a Club’s highest team, unless, based on his/her playing ability, he/she belongs on a lower team, in which case he/she may play in Division 2, if that option is available.
Guidelines 2015 – 2016
7. League Standings and Results:
a) The three highest ranked teams in division 2-8 will be promoted
b) The three lowest ranked teams in division 1-7 will be relegated
c) D8 will be a six team division
d) D7 will no longer have an “unbalanced schedule”
Guidelines 2015 – 2016
