The self-scheduling meeting is where teams will schedule their entire league game schedule for the season. Your team will be scheduling approximately seven games during their scheduled time this weekend. This process benefits teams by enabling them to plan their games around other events and training (practice) schedules.

Teams will pick the dates that they chose to play and only make AM or PM suggestions if that team has limitations on a certain day. If your team is available all day, no time preference is needed. The league will pick the location and the times of the matches.

(Field availability is the reason for not selecting location and times)

We ask that each team comes prepared for the self-scheduling. Each team will need to know their own team blackout dates and any conflicts associated with your team. You will need to have access to Microsoft Teams either by computer or phone.

We have provided the link to the division logins as well as the call-in number for every division. Please note these are unique per division so each meeting login is different. If you have not accessed Microsoft teams previously, we suggest logging into the system before the meeting.

All Premier Conference teams will need to be represented at the designated self-scheduling meeting. Each team must have a representative present at their meeting time, this could be a coach, team manager, or anyone designated by the team to schedule the team’s games.

Teams that are not represented during your scheduled meeting will have your games scheduled by the league based on opponent’s availability, as well as fined at least $100.

The published dates for NYSL game days begins August , and all games should be scheduled by November 22.

All days during this window are available for games to be scheduled. However, all teams should come prepared with at least 13 weekend dates they are available to play.

The league will release the division opponent match-ups to the teams a few hours before the self-scheduling meeting. The league will run every self-scheduling meeting.

On the self-scheduling league sheet there will be Team A and Team B. Team A will suggest a date, Team B will then accept or counter this date. This will process will go on for three rounds. After that point, if teams cannot decide on a date this game will be scheduled after the remaining games in your division have been scheduled.

Please note that home does not mean this is a guaranteed home location game, just the home team for scheduling purposes.

The league will input the dates only and will release those to ensure accuracy from the self-scheduling meeting. Teams will be given time to ensure these are correct.
