FA rules

Younger age groups and sanctioning

The FA doesn't allow results or league tables to be published for U7–U11 age groups. Competitions can collect results, but not publish them. (source: The FA: youth league results position (9 Dec 2015))

Tournaments involving affiliated teams must be sanctioned by the County FA. (source: The FA: tournaments sanctioning) Squono reminds organisers about this, but can't sanction a tournament for you.

For U7–U11 age groups, the public view shows fixtures and “played” only. Results and tables aren't published, in line with FA rules.
