schedule. Teams that have already played each other in pool play will not play each other in these games (including quarter-finals and
semi-finals) if avoidable. If required to prevent this situation, the re-pairing will match the highest-point qualifier with the lowest-point
qualifier that it did not play in pool play (i.e. Only the lowest-point qualifiers will be swapped. Under no circumstances the top seeds
(S1/S2 in Semis and S1-S4 in QFs will be paired in these games).
GENERAL GAME RULES

Teams will set up on the side of the field designated by field marshals, with spectators on the opposite side. Spectators are not allowed
on the goal ends of the fields. Each team must have at least one properly credentialed adult present on the sidelines of each match.
12. GAME LENGTH

13. HOME TEAM
The team listed first on the schedule for the preliminary round of games will be the Home Team. For Championship and Consolation
games, the team with the highest total points of the paired teams will be the Home Team. If both teams have the same number of
points, a coin toss by the Field Marshal/Referee will determine the Home Team. In the event that both teams have the same colored
jerseys, the Home Team will switch to alternate jerseys as determined by the referee. To simplify matters, we strongly suggest the
Home Team wear a dark color and the visitor wear a light color.
14. GAME START
All games will start at the scheduled time. Teams must report to the Field Marshal 30 minutes before each game for check-in.
If a team has not taken the field with at least eight (8) players within 5 minutes of a scheduled game time, the game will be forfeited to
the team with at least eight players in attendance. For 8v8 games, the minimum number of players is six (6).
All preliminary games will be called not less than five (5) minutes prior to the scheduled start of the following game, regardless of the
amount of time played up to that point. A game is “complete” upon completion of at least one half of play regardless of the
circumstances of termination during the second half. Final results will be based on the score at the time the game is called. Preliminary
games can end in a tie.
15. HALF TIME
Half Time will be exactly 5 minutes. The Tournament Director reserves the right to extend the half time under special circumstances.
Field Marshals may alter the length of any game at their discretion. Except for Championship & Consolation Games, games tied at the
end of regulation time will be recorded as ties.
16. TIE BREAKING PROCEDURES FOR GAMES
Quarter-final, Semi-final or other games that must produce a winner that end in a tie will go directly to penalty kicks as described by
FIFA until a winner is determined. Only players who are on the field at the end of the game may participate in the penalty kick shootout.
rd
For Championship games and Consolation games to determine 3 place, games that end in a tie in regulation time will be extended by
two 5-minute overtime periods (with no rest period between them). Golden Goal rule will apply. If the game is still tied after the
overtime periods, both teams will take penalty kicks as described by FIFA until a winner is determined. Only the players who are on the
field at the end of the last overtime period may participate in the penalty kick shootout. Ties are an acceptable final outcome for all
other games.
5
17. SUSPENDED and TERMINATED GAMES
Tournament Officials may suspend and/or terminate games for reason. If a game is terminated, the game may be resumed at the
discretion of Tournament officials, but is subject to ending five (5) minutes prior to the next scheduled game start. If a game is
terminated due to field issues, or due to the serious injury of a player, play may be resumed at the discretion of the Tournament
officials.
Tournament officials may also conclude the game, require completion of the game, or utilize penalty kicks to determine the winner of
the game, depending upon the circumstance. If in the opinion of Tournament officials, a game must be terminated due to the serious or
violent misconduct of players, coaches, or spectators; the offending team may be immediately suspended from further play and all
remaining games. All previous points earned remain as played. Additionally, the home league, State Association and/or US Club will be
contacted as appropriate.
Delays of game will only be allowed for an injury to a player that is unable to be moved from the field and/or requiring professional
medical attention. Primary regard will be to the safety of the injured player. The delay will result in appropriate time being added to the
full game time, based on the judgment of the referee. Preliminary games shall not be extended to affect game start of the next game as
described herein. If more than a quarter of preliminary game cannot be completed due to a serious injury suspending game play, the
game shall be determined by penalty kicks.
18. SUBSTITUTIONS
Unlimited substitutions during a game are allowed at the discretion of the referee:

Prior to a throw-in by your team or by opposing team if it first initiated substitution.

Prior to a goal kick by either team.

Prior to a kick-off by either team.

During an injury stoppage of play (only the injured player may be substituted).

A player receiving a yellow card caution may immediately be substituted, but this is not required (no other players may be
substituted then).
19. SPECIAL RULES FOR 8v8 DIVISONS
Except for the special rules listed below, the FIFA Laws of the Game as modified by US Club Soccer will apply and by these
tournament rules shall apply to 8v8 games:

Maximum number of players on the field at any time is eight (8), including the goalkeeper.

Opponents must be at least eight (8) yards away from the location of any direct or indirect kick, including start of play.
In addition, the following rules will apply for U8-U9 divisions only (not U10 or U11):

Goal kicks will be taken from anywhere within the '18'-yard penalty area

NO PENALTY KICKS. Instead, direct kicks in the penalty area shall be taken from closest point on the ‘18’-yard penalty line
20. EJECTIONS and CAUTIONS
A player, parent or coach who has been ejected in a single game shall not return for that game and will not be allowed to participate in
the next scheduled game. Ejections will be reviewed by the Tournament Committee and may result in a more severe penalty, including
additional game suspensions in the tournament and potentially contacting of club, league, and playing association for additional
penalties. Fighting by players, violent conduct or harassment of referees by players, coaches, parents or spectators will be considered
serious misconduct.
Each ejection will result in a cumulative deduction from the team’s tournament points. Ejection of a player will result in a 1-point
deduction & any ejection of a coach or a team-affiliated spectator will result in a 2-point deduction from the team’s tournament points.
21. DISPUTES
Game conduct is under the total jurisdiction of the referee. The tournament will not overrule a referee’s decision.
22. PROTESTS
All game results will be considered final. No protests will be allowed.
23. FORFEIT and BYES
