Game on week 7 between San Carlos & Union Ocopilla:

During the game last Sunday a fight brook up between booth teams the board decision after reviewing the Referee report is as follow.

The 2 teams will not get any points from their week 7 game. Plus booth teams will be panelized with 3 additional point’s deduction, due to the involvements of their players and spectator .

Player Juan Pinto from Union Ocopilla is bane for life from playing in CASL.

And both teams are now on probation, any problems, fighting, misconduct, from San Carlos or Union Ocopilla will result of immediate expulsions from playing in CASL.

In February  the CASL Board voted to give a life ban to a Union Ocopilla player,Salvador Adame for starting a fight. This last Sunday (Feb. 21st) a Galaxy FC player, while down on the ground, received a blatant, purposeful kick to the head from another Union Ocopilla player. We are not sure of the current condition of the Galaxy FC player but such behavior is not acceptable in our league. Union Ocopilla has a history of fielding under-age players and is well known for verbally abusing referees and opponents. At this juncture this team represents a safety concern for our league and them, and all players on their roster, are banned from CASL for 1 full season. The voting for this ban was unanimous and no hearings will be held.

 

Attention to all managers and team players. We will monitor every game for

alcohol use any team or players we see with open containers of beer will result in

forfeit the game and second time the players will be banned from playing in CASL,

and possible bane of the whole team. 

We forfeited los Borrachos 40 on week 1 games for having open beer.    

we forfited Super guapos 50 game against Aria Fc on week 4 for under age player that is not on the team roster.

we forfited Asturia fc 50 game against Aria fc on week 5 for using 2 under age players.
