Tournament Classifications

The following classifications identify the competitive level of teams invited to participate in tournaments:

1. Division 1
First division of "A-level" age pure, U10, U11, U12, U13, U14, U15, U16, U17, U18 and U19 competition teams classified by oldest player. Division 1 tournaments are open to all CYSA and affiliated teams from foreign countries and other state association.

2. Division 2
Second division of "B-level" mixed ages (by oldest player) U-10, U12, U14, U16 and U19 competition teams. Division 2 tournaments are open to all CYSA affiliated teams from foreign countries and other state associations. At their discretion, tournaments may limit the number of older players on a Division 2 team's roster. Under 19 Division 3 and 4 teams may participate in Division 2 tournaments without jeopardizing their Division 3/4 standing.

3. Division 3
Upper level, advanced or first division development teams whose players are normally selected via tryouts and a draft. These teams include only a portion of the league population in an age group and are intended to provide a level of play between house league and competition teams. Division 3 tournaments are open to all CYSA and affiliated teams from foreign countries and other state associations.

4. Division 4
House or lower house development teams that are normally formed on the basis or geographical distribution. These teams are usually intended to be equal in strength when formed and do not conform to any of the above classifications.

NOTE: Unaffiliated Tournaments

CYSA teams may not participate in tournaments sponsored by a group not affiliated with USYSA. This prohibition also extends to practice games and any other form of competition. If there is any question about a group's affiliation or if a team wishes exemption from this restriction, please contact your District Commissioner. Approval to play in a competition sponsored by an unaffiliated group for "the good of the game" must be recommended by your District Commissioner and approved by the CYSA Board of Directors. These policies must be followed for CYSA's medical liability insurance coverage to be in effect for the team.
