RULES OF PLAY: Except as otherwise provided, the FIFA "Laws of the game" shall apply to Recreational  competition sponsored by the Queen Anne Soccer Club (QASC).

REFEREES: The Referee is the final word during a game. The Referees are trained in the "Laws of the Game". A Referee shall be appointed to officiate in each game. His/Her authority and the exercise of the powers granted to him/her by the Laws of the Game commence as soon as he/she enters the field of play. Their power of penalizing shall extend to offenses committed when play is temporarily suspended, or when the ball is out of play. Their decision on points of fact connected with the play shall be final, so far as the result of the game is concerned. They enforce the laws. They have discretionary power to stop the game for any infringement of the Laws and to suspend or terminate the game whenever, by reason of the elements, interference by spectators, or other cause, he/she deems such a stoppage necessary. Seattle Youth Soccer Association and Queen Anne Soccer supports a zero toleration rule for arguing with referee or coaches by parents.

TEAM ROSTERS: A team roster for each team must be completed and turned into the appropriate Referee prior to any games being sanctioned. Roster includes players and coaches.

GAMES: Head coaches ages U-10 thru U-19 are responsible for calling SYSA after every game and relay the final score of that game to the Commissioner. Failure to do so will cause a zero to be scored for that game.
