Cup Finals – ID checks, team sheets, cup tied players & no extra time
Cup tied players – Any player who has played in a previous round for another team in the same age group and playing day cannot play for another team in the same age group cup competition as they will be cup tied and therefore ineligible. Any team found to have played an ineligible player will be removed from the competition. Please check and make sure you do not fall foul of this rule.
Cup Rules & ID Checks – Please ensure you have read and understand the cup rules inc ID checks and providing team sheets to the refs – YELonline.com -under rules and regulations.
Extra Time & Penalties – If the scores in the cup finals are level at the end or normal time, THERE WILL BE NO EXTRA TIME. The game will go straight to penalties. Check YEL Cup Competition Rules for details – YELonline.com
Updating your teams for the 2024-25 season – Reregistering and removal
Scoreline is now open to allow CLUB OFFICIALS to update your teams for the 2024-25 season. This is an ongoing process and will be available until May 31st. This does not need to be completed immediately. As and when you know a team/s is continuing/not continuing simply follow the instructions below. Only update your teams when you are certain about what they are doing next season.
The process in the YEL is very simple and set out below.
All teams names/age groups are current 2023/24 age groups. These automatically age by one year at midnight May 31st/June 1st in readiness for the new 2024/25 season eg YEL Utd U12 Blue will become YEL Utd U13 Blue.
All team headers have been changed to blue. These will indicate the teams where no action has been taken yet by the club. Once you have decided on whether a team is continuing or not, follow these instructions. If the team is continuing – you tick ‘confirm.’ If a team is not continuing – you click ‘remove.’ Once you click ‘save’ the header in the main ‘Teams’ page will change to green for the ‘confirmed and continuing’ and red for those ‘not continuing’. Only teams that are ‘confirmed’ will roll through/age at midnight on May 31st/June 1st. All others will be removed from the league and any teams wishing to continue after the roll through will need to reapply. No invoices will be raised until June 1st when we know which teams are continuing. Current U14 teams will need to be ticked as ‘remove’ as they will have come to the end of their YEL experience.
ONLY available to Club Secs/club officials with appropriate permissions to make changes on Scoreline.
- Login to YEL Scoreline at https://portal.yelscoreline.com
- Click on “My Clubs” from the left hand main menu
- This will open your club card (example used is Bingham Town FC). Click on the blue button ‘club’ which will then open your club dashboard
- Scroll down to the “Confirm club teams” section and click whether your team is continuing or removing (not continuing) – in the example below Bingham Black U13 are continuing next season; Bingham Blue U10 are not continuing
Once you have done this, click ‘save.’ If you are not sure about a particular team, you can leave it and come back to it at a later time provided it is done by midnight 31st May.
When all of your teams are either ‘confirm’ or ‘remove’ click the button at the top of the page to confirm that your club has completed the process. Do not do this please until ALL are confirmed/removed.
Any issues, email YEL OFFICE – office@yelonline.com

Team names for 2024-25 season
If you enter two or more teams at the same age group playing on the same day, it is essential that both teams have a distinguishing name/colour after them. We cannot accept just a club name for one team and a colour/name for another.
Eg YEL United FC U12 and YEL United FC U12 Red – no longer acceptable.
Examples of what are acceptable YEL Utd U12 Blue & YEL Utd U12 Red or YEL United U12 Warriors & YEL United U12 Trojans
