Scoring
All scores will be posted on the Tournament website. Scores posted on the internet are official. At the end of the game, the Referees and each coach are to sign the official game card certifying final score and turn in to Field Marshal. Bracket standings leading to championship play, will be determined on the following basis.
Points:
Win = 3 points
Tie = 1 point
Loss = 0 points
The score of a forfeited game shall be recorded as 4-0 in favor of the team not forfeiting, if;
The game has not commenced, or 2) the game has commenced and the non-forfeiting team has less than a 4 goal lead at the time of cessation. If the non-forfeiting team has more than a 4-goal lead at the time of cessation, the score shall stand. Forfeiture will be declared for a failure to begin play within ten (10) minutes of game time. Failure to complete a match or a team leaving the field during play may result in forfeiture. In no case will a team which has forfeited a game be declared a group winner or wild card.
In the event of ties in point standings, the following sequence will be used:
Result of head to head game (2 teams only)
Highest total net score for tournament games. Net score = goals scored, less goals scored against. A maximum differential of 4 goals per game will account for this purpose.
Fewest goals allowed.
Penalty kick elimination: FIFA rules.
In the event of ties at the end of championship round games, winner will be determined as follows:
Two ten-minute overtime periods (five-minute for U8-U12) will be played, both mandatory.
Penalty kick elimination as above. Only players on the field at the end of the second overtime are eligible for penalty kicks.
Forfeits:
Failure to complete a match, failure to begin play within 5 minutes of game time, or a team leaving the field during play will result in forfeiture.
No team that has forfeited a game will be declared a wild card or group winner. The team winning by forfeit will be awarded one goal, or remaining team will have the score recorded at the time of walk off (whichever is higher). The opponent’s score will be zero. This score will be the official score in case goal differential is necessary. The Tournament Officials reserve the right to decide all matters concerning a forfeit.
A team must have 7 eligible players to start a game for 11 v 11, 6 for 9 v 9, and 4 for 7 v 7. A team will be required to forfeit if they do not have the minimum number of players 5 minutes after the scheduled start time of the match.
Standards of conduct
All participants will be expected to maintain high standards of conduct during the tournament. These standards are expected of players, referees, and spectators.
There shall be no dissent between players and/or coaches and the referee. Questioning a referee is considered dissent. All coaches are responsible for the actions of his or her spectators, specifically verbal abuse of referees. Such abuse will not be tolerated! Violation may result in forfeiture of the game and/or expulsion from further play.
Any player or coach ejected from a game will be ineligible to participate in the next scheduled game. The player/coach pass is to be turned in to the tournament headquarters immediately following the initial suspension game. Any serious or violent infraction may result in more than a one game suspension (to be determined by the tournament director(s) and referee committee).
No substitution will be permitted for an ejected player.
In the event a coach has been ejected and the game cannot be completed, the score will be recorded as a 4-0 forfeit.
Any player or coach who receives an accumulation of two (2) yellow cards or a red card in a game must sit out the next game. The player card must be turned into tournament headquarters immediately following the suspension game.
All coaches will remain within 20 yards of the centerline on their half of the field, on the same side as their team's spectators.
Spectators may be ejected from the park for improper conduct, at the discretion of the tournament officials.
Protests are not allowed.
Awards
First and second place individual awards will be awarded after the final game for all ages. Only team members and registered guest players will receive an award. Coaches are not eligible to receive an individual award. (5 team brackets 1st place and 2nd place points will get award).
Inclement Weather/Cancellations/Reschedules:
The tournament committee has the right to shorten and/or cancel matches due to climatic conditions or others acts of nature, which are beyond our control.
In the event that severe weather delays the tournament, all games which are at least at halftime will be considered a complete match. The score at the stoppage of the play will be the final game score.
If the first half has not been completed and the game is stopped, every effort will be made to complete the game, or play to complete at least the first half and record the score as final.
In the event the current half can not be completed, the game will be considered a 0-0 tie.
If necessary, game lengths may be shortened to accommodate scheduling requirements. It is the responsibility of each coach to check the Tournament website for reschedule information. However, in the event that rescheduling is not possible, and game cancellation creates a situation where teams within the division are unable to play an equal number of qualifying games, the group winner will be determined on the basis of average tournament points for games played (including the tie breaking procedure). The team with the highest average points will be declared the winner of the group. In the event there is a tie which cannot be resolved by point averaging, the advancing team will be determined by a coin toss, or penalty kicks, per FIFA as directed by the Tournament Director(s).
Kolping shall not be responsible for any team’s expenses due to weather-related cancellation of games.
Cancellations
All sales are final once a team is accepted. No refunds will be given.
If the Tournament is canceled due to events beyond the control of the Tournament Committee, the Tournament will not be required to make any financial reimbursement.
Final Rulings
The final interpreter of the foregoing rules and regulations, and also any matters not provided for in these rules, will be the Tournament Director(s), whose decisions shall be final.
