RED AND YELLOW CARDS
Any player or coach ejected from a game will be ineligible to participate at a minimum in that team’s next game. No substitution will be permitted for an ejected player. Anyone fighting can be subject to ejection from further participation. Red and yellow cards will be recorded and reported to Indiana Soccer and the home State Association of the team involved. The Home State Association or member thereof and the home club or league shall, except in the case of referee assault or abuse, have the responsibility for imposing, should circumstances warrant, additional penalties within their respective jurisdictions with regard to any matters arising from the tournament or games.
STANDINGS and SCORING
Because the purpose of this event is pre-season competition, no final game is played; rather a round robin format is used. Therefore, a winner is declared based on the point system as follows:
• 6 pts for a win
• 1 pt for each goal scored up to 3
• 1 pt for no goals allowed.
• Maximum 10 pts can be awarded per game.
• If a team forfeits, their opponent will receive a score of 3–0 which equates to 10 pts in the scoring system.
In the event we have more than 1 team with the same amount of points after the completion of the games there will be a
tiebreaker put into effect. The tiebreaker will be as follows:
• Goal Differential – Goals For, Minus Goals Against.
• Most goals scored up to a maximum of 4 per game.
• Team with fewest yellow or red cards.
• Head to Head.
• In the event of a three way tie the tiebreaker will be in effect once 1 team has been eliminated, the tiebreaker will begin again
for the remaining two teams.
FIELD RESTRICTIONS
Teams and coaches will be located on the side of the field opposite spectators with a two-(2) coach/manager maximum. Coaches will be restricted to an area along the touchline within 20 yards of the midfield. No coaching will be allowed from the sidelines. No spectators or coaches will be allowed behind the goals.
PROTESTS
No protests or appeals will be entertained. The decision of the referee is final.
WEATHER
In the event of inclement weather, the Tournament Committee will have the authority to relocate, reschedule, cancel or change the duration of any game. If lightning is sighted or thunder is heard, the referee will immediately suspend play and clear the field. Play will resume after 30 consecutive minutes of no lightning. Time permitting, games will be played to (a) completion, or (b) completion of first half and score recorded.
IMPORTANT: The game clock will not be stopped because of injury to any player unless, at the discretion of the referee, the injured player must be removed from the field by medical personnel. The clock will run continuously.
TOURNAMENT CANCELLATION
