TOURNAMENT INFORMATION

TEAM CHECK-IN
Coaches must check-in their teams at the tournament HQ tent before their first match and provide a copy of their final roster (if changes are made).

COACHES
Only two coaches are allowed with each team. Coaches must wear their badges at all times. Coaches without badges will be asked to leave the area immediately.

PLAYING TIME
As a reminder, all players must play at least 50% of every match.  If a player is unable to play at least 50% in a match, the coach must notify the referee and opposing coach of the reason (illness, injury, disciplinary action, etc.)

UNIFORMS
All jerseys must have numbers.  Players without numbers on their jerseys will not be allowed to play.  In case of color conflict, the home team will change colors.

SCORING SYSTEM
Win = 3 points
Tie = 1 point
Loss = 0 points

GAME CARDS
The referee will record the scores and sign the card after each match. Both coaches must also sign the card. The coach from the winning team will be responsible for submitting the game card to the tournament staff so the scores can be recorded.  In case of a  tie, the home team is responsible for submitting game card.  Missing game cards will result in zero (0) points awarded to both teams.

DISCIPLINE
Red Card:  A player who receives a red card must sit out the remainder of the match and leave the area immediately.  The player will also be suspended for the next match.  A player receiving two red cards will be suspended for the remainder of the tournament.

Yellow Card:  If a player receives two yellow cards in a match, the player is ejected from the match and is suspended for the next match. It is the coach’s responsibility to sit an ineligible player and inform the referee and opposing coach of the reason why the player is sitting out a match (red card, etc.). 

SPECTATORS
The behavior of spectators remains the responsibility of the coach.  Failure to monitor and control the behavior of the team’s parents may result in the coach being ejected from a match.  The use of artificial noise makers is prohibited.
