CPSC ADULT INDOOR SOCCER LEAGUE
RULES and REGULATIONS
Call-up Players
If a team is short players, they may call-up eligible players from other teams registered in the division (i.e.
a co-ed player can be called up for another co-ed team; a player from the old-timers, who is not registered
in the co-ed division, cannot play-up on the co-ed team).
A team is eligible to call-up only as many players as they have present from the original team. Therefore, if
3 players from Team Soccer are at the dome, they may only call-up 3 players from other teams.
A team is eligible to call-up players to a maximum of 2 substitutes on the sidelines in accordance with the
previous rule (9 players total).
Call-up players must have played before the second half kicks off to be eligible to play. A call-up arriving
after the second half has started is not eligible to play.
All call-ups must be recorded on a separate call-up report. It must be submitted with the game sheet. Callup player names must not be recorded on the game sheet. Opposing team captain must sign the call-up
report to verify that the correct players are listed as call-ups. If not submitted, the offending team will
forfeit the match at the discretion of the AISC.
A player may be called-up to any team, within their division, for a total of
a) Three (3) times per team maximum, and
b) A maximum combined total of 6 times during the course of a session.
Any player who plays as an ineligible call-up will not be permitted to play for the remainder of the session
as a call-up. They may also face additional discipline.
Any player who receives two cautions or one dismissal across the course of the session will not be eligible
to participate as a call-up for the remainder of the session.
If a registered team player arrives after the match has begun with call-up players, and their arrival and
playing would constitute breaking the rule stating that A team is eligible to call-up players to a maximum
of 2 substitutes on the sidelines, the team does not have to default. The arriving player may play, so long as
all of the following points are met:
- The game has not entered the second half.
- The call-up player has no mark on the game report (no goals, no misconduct)
- The call-up player ceases to be a part of the match once the arriving team member steps onto
the field.
- The call-up player will be deemed to have played if they score a goal, receive a caution or
dismissal, or once the game enters the second half. The late arriving player may not take part in
the match when this occurs if their playing would break the aforementioned 2 player substitute
rule.
Exception to Call-up rule when there are already two substitutes:
1. Co-Ed:
The following is an exception to calling up players when there are already two substitutes.
If a team has fewer than four female players in total, they are permitted to call-up female players within their
division to field a team with four total females.
Example: Team Soccer has 9 males and 1 female for their game. They are eligible to have three females play
as call-ups. This provision, however, does not mean that a team can call-up males and females and have more
than 9 players. The only exception for having more than 9 players (2 substitutes) is if it is by female call-ups.
The game is defaulted should a team play with more than 2 substitutes with both male and female call-up
players.
2. Goalkeeper:
Teams are to identify one goalkeeper on their roster. If a team’s identified goalkeeper is not present, the
team may call-up an identified goalkeeper from another team to play as goalkeeper.
In divisions where there are two tiers of play:
a) In any game involving two Tier II teams, NO PLAYERS from Tier I will be allowed as a call-up.
b) In any game involving a Tier I and a Tier II team, a Tier I player is allowed to play as a call-up for the
Tier II team.
In this situation, the Tier I team is then permitted to call-up Tier I players.
However, the number of Tier I call-up players for the Tier I team must not exceed that which is called up
by the Tier II team.
Please note that all other call-up rules supersede this rule.
(ie. Tier II team calls up two Tier I players, the Tier I team is then eligible to have up to two Tier I callups)
(ie. Tier II team calls up two Division I players, the Tier I team cannot call-up any players if they already
have 2 substitutes)
