Forfeits/Team Disqualifications
If a team forfeits due to a no show or not having enough players during the preliminary round, the following will apply “Forfeit one-forfeit all”. If a team forfeits in a later round, only that match will be forfeited. If a team doesn’t have their player cards present by the end of the match, only that match will be forfeited. Games will be recorded as a 1-0 victory for the opposing team. Any team that forfeits will be reported to their State Association.
Match Preparation
Teams will present themselves at the field to the Field Marshal for check-in 30 minutes prior to game time. All matches will have a 5 minutes grace period to appear with at least 5 players (2010 thru 2005) to avoid a forfeit. The home team is the first team listed in the schedule, has the choice of field side, must provide the game ball, and must change jerseys in the event of a referee determined color conflict with the opposing team. Teams and spectators must be on opposite sides of the field or as instructed by tournament officials with teams being on one side and spectators on the other.
Substitution
Substitution will be allowed during natural stoppage of the match at the referee’s discretion. All divisions, free substitution, and re-entry will be allowed.
Player/Coach Conduct
Any player receiving a double yellow / red card or coach receiving an ejection shall be ineligible to participate in the remainder of that match, plus the following match. If a player or coach is ejected for assault, then the player or coach shall be ineligible for the remainder of the tournament and their player or administrator card will be turned over to their respective State Association.
Team/Spectator Conduct
Coaches have total responsibility for their players and spectators at all times. If the referee must terminate a game for misconduct of players or spectators, the offending team may be disqualified from further tournament participation. The forfeiture rule will be imposed and no refunds will be given to the offending team.
2 Yard Sideline Rule
All spectators must always be at least 2 yards away from the sideline. This rule will be enforced by the Referee Field Coordinator and Tournament Officials.
Withdrawal from the Tournament
Any team withdrawing before November 30, 2018, will receive a full refund minus $75 processing fee. Any team withdrawing after November 30, 2018, will not be entitled to a refund.
Inclement Weather or Unexpected Termination of Play
In the event of inclement weather, which the Tournament Committee deems as being unsafe for the players and/or the fields for competition to continue; or the unexpected termination of the match, the following system for determining the winner will be implemented:
Matches that are at the half time break or in the second half of play will have the score stand.
Matches that are less than 20 minutes into the first half will be deemed not to have been played.
Matches for a given day may be postponed and played the following day if fields are available.
Matches may be shortened in order to play all assigned matches. If all assigned matches are unable to be played, awards will be made based on a point system to be determined by the Tournament Committee.
Note: that it may also be necessary to change match locations in the event the assigned fields are unavailable for play, for any reason.
Canceled matches due to unsafe playing conditions, will be as follows. As in years past, we will put forth our best effort to get all matches completed. Refunds are: Cancellation of all matches – 100% less $75.00 administrative fee, One match played – 60% after $125.00 administrative fee, Two matches played – 40% after $275 administrative fee, Three matches played – No Refund
