Spring 2014 Weeknight League Registration Info:

There is an 8-game guarantee, but most teams will play at least 9 games. Teams will play either a 7 or 8 game regular season, depending on the number of teams in their division.

8-team divisions who play 7 regular season games will have all teams make the playoffs. 9+ team divisions will play 8 regular season games with the top 60% advancing to the playoffs.

The maximum number of teams for the league will be 36.


Start Week:

The 2014 Spring season will begin the week of March 17th.


Divisions/Levels:

There will be 4 levels of play for the weeknight Spring League: A, B, C, and REC.
A: Though we recommend new teams do not start in "A", any team can register for "A". This is the top level of competition and includes teams who compete for the state championship. Previous Fall B+ champ must play in A. This division will issues berths to the State Tournament.
B: B is mandated for last Fall and Spring C final 4, suggested for previous C teams who finished above .500, B teams who did not make the top 4, former B+ teams (who are not mandated to play in A) who feel they cannot compete in A. This division will issue berths to the State Tournament.
C: C league is reserved for either new teams who want to play at the introductory competitive level (not renamed or reorganized/combined existing teams that must play in B) and previous C teams who finished under .500 as well as B teams who finished at or near the bottom of B.
REC: REC League is close to C but less competitive. Its for brand new teams with scarce or no experience, corporate teams, or below .500 C teams.

Games/Fields/Nights:

Games will be played on turf fields in Fairfax County. Playing nights will be determined by a consensus of coaches for each division. We will try and group all games for each division on the same night each week.

Stats:

Individual stats will be posted for all leagues. Check out the stat pages from the teams menu to see what we track!

Rosters:

You may carry up to 22 players on your team roster. Each player must have the address field filled out on the online roster (through coach access). If you cannot submit an online roster, you can email the league via the contact link and request a roster form to complete and mail in, or send online. Players may switch teams prior to week 3 games, but may not play for more than one team during a single week. After roster lock (prior to week 3 games) players may not switch teams.

Once rosters lock, any player can only play for one FCFFL team - regardless of
league/division. To be clear, players may not play for one team in the FCFFL "B" league and another in the FCFFL "C" league. However, a player may play on a team in the IFFL Sunday and a team in the FCFFL weeknight leagues.


Team Pages/Coach Access:

New teams will have accounts set up on the league site once their deposit is received.


Team Fee:

Team fee for the Spring 2014 season is $795. This fee is due in two payments:

1) deposit ($400) due in order to register your team.
2) installment#2 ($395) will be due the first week of April.

Alternately you can pay the full amount up front.

Your teammates can pay a portion of your team fee online by clicking "make individual payment" and selecting your team name. Your team account will be credited accordingly.

Your team fee covers everything: all officiating (season and playoffs), awards, County participant fee, insurance, field use, etc..., except - "out of County fees", which are assessed by Fairfax County at $30/non-county resident rostered and paid separate from team fee. We will invoice this amount after rosters lock. Those out of county players can pay their own fee online, individually.
