(NOT a Silent Super Soccer Weekend tournament; however, all spectators and coaches are still expected to adhere to the Club’s rules regarding good sportsmanship and field etiquette)
Final rules/format subject to change, but will be announced prior to the start of the tournament:
Format:
-All preliminary games are abbreviated (final tournament schedule to be provided)
-Please contact your coach if you need a copy of the tournament schedule; It's a tight schedule, so please be ready/on-time for your scheduled game start time; teams that are >5 mins late may be required to forfeit
-On Saturday, there is no stoppage time, no overtime, and no shootouts; If there's a tie after the allotted abbreviated game time, the results will be recorded as a tie
-Championship/Runner Up games are standard game length
-Semifinal games and the Championship/Runner Up games cannot end in a tie; semifinals that end regulation in a tie will go to a best out of 5-shootout; if the championship or runner up games end regulation in a tie, the coaches will get to decide if they want a 10 minute "Golden Goal" overtime (first goal wins and ends game) or a best out of 5-shootout to end the game
Scoring:
-Final rankings for the opening day will be determined World Cup style:
-A victory equals three (3) points
-A draw equals one (1) point
-A loss equals no (0) points
-The two teams from each bracket with the highest cumulative point total will advance to the semifinals
-If any two teams contending for a place in the semifinals are tied in points at the end of the first day, the higher placed team is whichever team won the head-to-head matchup or (if a tie) whoever had the higher cumulative tournament point differential (the difference between how many goals a team conceded and scored in its games)
🏆Good Luck!🏆
