Word on the street is coach @Or Rush used an ineligible player during finals match. OYSA looking into, could lose their State Championship.

Your news is old
OYSA already decided that the Rush player in question was eligible, case closed as far as OYSA is concerned. -
Don't want to stir the pot, but just curious about what would make a player ineligible?
Wrong age, not on the roster by the cutoff date, and ??Comment

Believe that would be the goalkeeper that had moved to California last year but stayed on the roster. They flew her in the night before the final game and she played the second half plus the overtime.Comment

YIKES! so does the win go to WSM?Comment

See post 2, OYSA has already ruled in favor of Rush, the player was eligible, Rush is going to regionals. WSM was told a few days ago that as far as OYSA is concerned the case is closed.Comment

Sad thing was for the goalkeeper that got the team to that point. Guess that is what "competitive" soccer is all about?Comment

Ruling is not complete
WSM is appealing for information.
The player in questions moved from Bend to California, then ended up in Montana.
The ruling is being appealed because you have to live in the State when the Club registered you. If the player was living in California or Montana at the time they were registered, then the player would be viewed as ineligible.
There is a ton of public information in Montana that the player lived there and played sports.
The Club and Coach could have avoided all the problems registering the player in Montana and then transfer to Oregon. Never did this.Comment

Closed
The Player was allow to have live in Montana and register in Oregon based on custodial parent. USYSA Closed the loop on this.Comment

Better question
Why would the Bend club even open this 'loop'?
Kid lives full time in Montana with parent not the custodial parent in Bend?
Truly not in the spirit of the game to have players who live full time in Montana register at the 11th hour for state cup in OregonComment

So for the betterment of the girl she should have been restricted to playing in Montana notwithstanding her family history with Oregon? Is it in the "spirit of the game" for a kid in Salem to play with a team in Portland. Assuming it was approved and above board, what's the issue. I have no connection to either team, but really think people are making much ado about nothing.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Funny Irony
Bend club stays in the OYSA which actually restricts out of state players to an Oregon State Cup roster. An association that is littered with much red tape to have an out of state player player for an Oregon Championship.
US Club soccer the new governing body of the OPL doesn't have this kind of rigid system.
Yet the Bend club chose to stay and play in the OYSA.
Now I understand what a contradiction this Bend club has made of themselves.
BTW my nephew lives in Colorado and would love to join them in next year's state cup. 15 years ago I was granted custody of my nephew but things worked out and he lives full time with my brother in Colorado. So he is legal to play for Bend, if they want to win.

Usysa
USYSA Stepped in and ruled in Rush's favor.
Custodial parent Lived in Oregon and the Player can choose to Register from this location.
It is true that the Player's has been and is living out of State.Comment

If you are a part of an OPL club, which it seems you are, and your are from the Portland metro area, what are the chances that your club has players from Southern WA registered? I would bet nearly every OPL founding club has WA players who have never resided in OR, don't go to school here, etc., but play in your club, and played for the OR State Championship. Does your kid play ODP? If so, his/her team has WA players on it.
There are policies for these types of situations, which aparently Rush followed.Comment

Difference is
They (OYSA teams with Wa Playerers) have kids who live in SW Washington don't do a clever work-around and then claim they actually reside in Oregon. They get released from the state they reside in and play in Oregon a few miles away.
Unlike the Bend club who have a full-time Montana resident not fill out any release and claim they actually reside in Oregon.
