Details

U13 teams who have already transitioned to 11v11 play will be permitted to register in the U14 division should they wish. In this case we would recommend that teams register in a lower level of play to account for the fact that they are playing older teams. 

Tiering: 
The Slurpee Cup is primarily a BC Soccer Provincial A & B Cup level tournament and accepts teams from multiple provinces, territories and states. To better help you establish the most appropriate level of play for your team we are simplifying our registration by using Tiers 1 & 2. Please review your age group carefully to register and place your team correctly. 

U9 to U10 = ONE tier of play: 

• Development 

U11 to U13 = TWO tiers of play: 

• Tier 1 (top level development teams) 
• Tier 2 (mid-range development teams) 

U14 to U18 = TWO tiers of play: 

• Tier 1: For teams competing at a BC Soccer Provincial A Cup level (Tier 1 in Alberta). 
• Tier 2: For teams competing at BC Soccer Provincial B Cup level (Tier 2 in Alberta). 
• PDP (BCSPL / APDL) teams are to register in Tier 1 of the year older. 

IMPORTANT: Ensure the placement of your team is accurate at the time of registration. The tournament will not be responsible if you register in the wrong age and/or level. We cannot promise that we can move your team later, if you register incorrectly. If you are unsure of your tiering, email office@kufc.ca for assistance. 

KUFC reserves the right to combine or modify divisions and may do so should registration numbers require.  

Scheduling: 
We will attempt to accommodate teams with significant travel with later games on Saturday and earlier games on Monday however we DO NOT guarantee that requests for any scheduling changes will be met.  As such, teams must plan for their travel and accommodation based on the scheduling parameters below. 

• Saturday and Sunday – Earliest kick-off is 9am, latest kick-off is 7:30pm.  
• Monday – Earliest kick-off is 8:00am, latest kick-off is 3:00pm. 

We make every effort in our scheduling to provide ‘fair’ kick-off times across divisions and to accommodate those teams with the furthest travel however teams should be prepared to kick-off at any of the times listed above. 

Group Formats: 
The following formats are followed in the U13 to U18 divisions to determine champions and runners-up:

Championship Medal Ceremonies: 
All Championship Medal presentations will take place in front of the KUFC Office next to Field #2 on McArthur Island.
