D.C. United reserve division schedule announced

28 Mar, 2008

D.C. United announced Thursday its 2008 Reserve Division schedule and format. D.C. United’s reserves will kick off the season on April 18 at home against the Columbus Crew at 10 a.m., and will play a total of 12 games during the year. United’s reserves play their home matches at the D.C. United Training Complex located on the northeast side of RFK Stadium off C St. NE and 21st St. NE. Games are open to the public and free-of-charge.

All reserve teams will compete in a single table with a $20,000 team bonus awarded to the team that finishes the season at the top of the table. Each team will play 12 Reserve Division games throughout the course of the season. No team will play any other team more than twice.

MLS RESERVE DIVISION FORMAT:

• Each team will play 12 games (6 home and 6 away).
• A total of 20 eligible players for the home team and 20 players for the visiting team may be placed on a club’s game roster for any Reserve Division game with each team permitted to make up to six (6) substitutions.
• Suspensions attributable to yellow and red cards issued in Reserve Division games shall only be imposed for future Reserve Division matches and not for games during the MLS regular season.  Conversely, suspensions attributable to yellow and red cards issued during MLS regular season games shall not apply to Reserve Division matches.
• Any player who receives four yellow cards during the Reserve Division season shall be suspended from the next Reserve Division game in which he may appear.
• No Player shall play more than 120 minutes in a Reserve Team match and any preceding match(es) that occur within a 60 hour period.  Injury time is not considered a part of a player’s maximum number of minutes played (e.g., if a player enters a game at halftime and the referee adds two minutes of stoppage time to the end of the second half, the player will be considered to have played 45 minutes since the two minutes of stoppage time is essentially added to make up for 'lost' time). 
• A Reserve Division call-up or “Guest Player” with an MLS team may be eligible to appear in an MLS Reserve Division Game provided that he is properly registered with U.S. Soccer.
