Players
and Teams
How are the Masters teams chosen?
Masters teams are chosen based on league status
and location, with regards to where the particular
event takes place.
How are the Masters players chosen?
The Masters Football season runs from April 1 –
31 March. It
consists of the Masters Cup
[June – Sept], the tour of Asia [Nov] and
Home Nations or Dubai Cup [March]. Players
must be 35 in the year of the tournament.
Many of the players take part in Vets teams for
their clubs and an effort is made to ensure each
Masters team is made up of those players that contributed
as much as possible to their respective club. Fitness,
age and availability are also taken into consideration
with the goal of maximising each team's potential.
Events
How many Masters events are there in a year?
There are eleven Masters Football events every year.
Throughout June and July, we host the Masters Cup,
a series of eight regional qualifying events where
the winning team from each group goes through to
the Masters Cup Grand Final, usually held in early
September.
We also run several International Masters events.
Venues
Why are these venues chosen?
The venues are chosen for their locality to the
teams taking place, as well as for the set up. Since
Masters events are based on Ice Hockey sized pitches,
we base each event on suitable arenas that either
host Ice Hockey or have provision to accommodate
the 60m by 30m pitch.
Rules & Referees
How do we choose the referees?
All referees are FA endorsed, with substantial experience
in refereeing both Premiership and league football.
How does the sin-bin work?
Sin-bin will be used in an unofficial capacity for
yellow card offences. The referee will suggest the
player leaves the pitch for two minutes. Any player
who receives a red card will be sent off immediately,
cannot be replaced and will be banned for the next
match. |
