Updating Managers

If you are an existing manager of a team on othsl.org and you would like to add another manager, first go onto reg.mass-soccer.org and add them there. Then go to othsl.org and you should see a link to add them as a manager.

Only the existing managers of a team can add and delete managers. But if you get stuck, just email webmaster@othsl.org and someone will help you out.

Irregular Transfers

There are two irregular transfer types. Both must be done manually by a league administrator. The deadline for ALL transfers is week 8. All requests must be received before the deadline (midnight, Oct. 21). All requests must include the player‘s name, MASSID, current division and team, if any, and new division and team.

If a player is on a roster (or was on a roster), but has not played (4.B.3.i) or has not played since week 1 (4.B.3.ii), and wishes to move to a new team, the player and the new manager should send an email to the new team‘s division director and the Reports Coordinator (refreports@othsl.org) by Wednesday 6 PM. We need the extra time to review all of the game day rosters to confirm that the player has not checked into any games.

If the player wants to move to an older team (Rule 4.B.3.iii), the player and the new manager should send an email to the new team‘s division director, the webmaster (webmaster@othsl.org), the registrar (registrar@othsl.org), and the Reports Coordinator (refreports@othsl.org) by Thursday 6PM.

Requests received after the deadline will be processed the following week. It is enough for the manager or player to reply to the initial email that they approve the move.

Adjusting how Promotion/Relegation/Playoffs are Determined in 8-team Regions

Like prior seasons, teams in a region of 8-teams should expect to play 3-teams in their region twice per season in a home and home series, and 4-teams one-time each season for a total of 10 games (two flights of 4-teams in each region).  Starting this season, promotion, relegation, and playoff participation will be determined based on total points across the region, not within separate flights, such that:

  • The top 2 teams based on total points among the 8-teams in each region will be promoted.
  • The bottom 2 teams based on points among the 8-teams in each region will be relegated.
  • The top 2 teams in each region based on total points among the 8-teams will participate in the playoffs.  The top team in each region being the default hosting team playing the second-best team in the opposing region and vice vera.
  • Tie breakers, as needed, for any of the above, per rule 13. D Results and Standings | Tie-Breakers.

Regions with less than 8-teams may have different promotion relegation schedules – ask your Division Director if need more information.

Registration Will Now Be Due Twice A Year, JANUARY 15 AND JULY 10

The Board passed a revision of Rule 3 B that will now require all teams to register via the online registration site twice a year instead of only once.

PAYMENT FOR 2023 WILL BE $230 EACH SEASON

Here is the exact new wording of the registration conditions that will be added to the Official Rules of Play

All teams must submit registration fees (Fees) prior to each season. Registration and Fees are due by January 15th for the Spring Season and by July 10th for the Fall Season. Fees shall include those determined by the Board for execution of the season and any and all fines and bonds due by respective teams. Fees shall be net any referee fees paid on behalf of the League. Bonds payable shall be returned to teams outside of registration. To be complete, registration must include home field location, start times, and all field sharing constraints unless the Registrar, or another officer, allows in-writing. Teams that drop out after registering will forfeit all Fees.

NOTE - there is no grace period for late payments, if you don‘t register by these dates your team will be dropped

ID Cards

Some players have been getting away with registering as a manager only. This loop hole has been closed. If you find that you have suddenly disappeared from the game day roster, you need to log into MASS soccer and renew your account and make sure that you select the 2 year player option. Do NOT create a new account as that will only make things worse.

Managers, you can check if any of your players are in this situation by going to the roster editor and checking everyone‘s status. If a player is only registered as a manager, they will be in red with the message "User is not registered as a player".

Referee Fees Increase for 2022

Referee fees are now $50 per team per game.

Assistant Referees are optional and get $60 each per game. If the teams agree to have ARs, then each team needs to bring $110 to the game, but if one team unilaterally requests ARs, then they are on the hook for $170. ARs can be requested by contacting your division director and may be assigned based on availability and if we are given enough advance notice.

AED Rebate Program

We are pleased to announce a new program from OTHSL and MASS-Soccer to support the purchase of Automatic Electronic Defibrillators (AED) by the teams in our league. Both OTHSL and MASS-Soccer will provide a $250 rebate (Total $500) when a team purchases an AED to be available at league games. Teams already owning an AED may receive a rebate for replacement batteries and pads.

See this link on the MA Soccer page for details and the documents needed for the rebates.

Together with volume pricing and rebates from both OTHSL and Mass-Soccer, the out of pocket cost for an AED for your team can be less than $500. We believe that this will make these life saving devices affordable for many teams and more importantly, available if needed in case of an emergency.

Please contact Doug (douganneser@gmail.com) for more info.

rosters

Managers, when you invite a new player, they do not need the email to accept. The email is just a convenience. The player just needs to log into https://reg.mass-soccer.org and it will prompt them to accept (or decline) the invite. And if players have forgotten thier username, they can use their MASS ID number (starting with the MA) instead.

Players that are on a roster and that want to move to a team in an older age bracket will need to request that the move is done manually as the web site is not up to date yet. This also applies to players that show on a roster but have not played since week 1 and are therefore still new. In both cases, applications should be sent to the division director of your NEW team. Applications received by Wednesday 6 PM will be processed by that Sunday

AED Saves a Life

An AED unit that was subsidized by OTHSL and MASS was used to save a player's life earlier this season. At last report, he will make a full recovery. Every team should be bringing an AED to every game, scrimmage and practice. After the MASS and OTHSL subsidies, these units cost the average team about $20 per player. Click the banner above to learn more or visit MASS websiite and remember that OTHSL will match the MASS subsidy.

How to see referee info on this site

As a manager, you should have a link to your team on the right under quick links. If not, scroll down to the bottom of the page and check your userid and access level. If your access level is guest, you are not logged in. If you access level is not "manager..." then there is something wrong and you should contact the webmaster and let him know your userid and your team.

If you do have your team listed under quick links, click it, and then click the "show referee assignments" link and you should be all set

Managers, please note

An Over30 team has been removed from the league for using underage players. No one team can include more than 4 players from their final roster. If you have any doubts about whether the players you are adding may fall into this group, please contact the registrar.

As the team Manager, you need to be confident that the Date of Birth information on every player's MA ID is accurate.

See rule 4E:

Using Players from Suspended Teams:

No active team shall have more than four (4) players from any combination of the final rosters of teams suspended or expelled within the past two years. This restriction will not apply if the suspended or expelled team has been reinstated

Passcards and Rosters

Only current MASS ID player passcards may be used. Expired cards are not acceptable. However, temporary passes are acceptable, or you can show your ID on Your phone. Do not ask the referee to use his phone.

Players without a valid MASS ID number will not appear on printed rosters.

Click Here for the MASS Registration Site If you have any questions please direct them to Andrea at andrea@mass-soccer.org

Managers check your rosters. If you have players showing up in red, they will not print on your game day roster and they cannot play. period. Contact your players and get them to renew their registrations and/or submit a new headshot. Then they should print a temporary passcard and you should reprint your roster

For support on rosters, please contact Jeremy

For help with renewing your registration or fixing your headshot, contact Debbie, the MASS registrar
