Tournament Rules:
General
Warming up on the game fields will not be allowed. Spectators must be on the opposite side of the field as the players.
Equipment
All PYSC games will be played with a size 4 ball. Players must wear their season jersey the same color as their teammates. Jerseys are to be unaltered. Sleeves may be tied up or bottoms tied back. Any player with an altered shirt will not be allowed to participate. The goalie will wear their jersey with a pinnie over that will be colored different then opposing team and stand out. Shin guards are mandatory and must be covered fully. No cleats with toe nubs. No jewelry will be allowed, even if covered with tape. Coaches must wear their coach’s shirt to be on the coach’s side of the field.
Roster
Your in-season official roster will be used to identify eligible players for your tournament team. Each team will need to check in at the tournament tent at least 30 minutes prior to your first game. Any players showing up late will need to be checked in separately with a coach prior to that player being allowed to participate in any game.
Suspension of play
The referee has authority to suspend games at any time. In addition, tournament play may be suspended in the event of weather conditions. The decision to suspend play for the reason of weather will be made by the Tournament Director. Game duration times may be adjusted at the decision of the Tournament Director. In the event of inclement weather which forces play to be halted and prevents the game from being completed during the scheduled time, the score shall stand if at least one-half of the game has been completed.
Score Cards
Both head coaches are responsible for verifying the score of the match by signing the referee score card at the conclusion of the match. Failure to do so will negate any grounds for protest for incorrectly recorded scores.
Point scoring system
Teams will be ranked by the total number of points accumulated through individual games in each round of play. A win is awarded 6 points, a tie or bye is awarded 3 points, and a loss is awarded 0 points. A forfeit is awarded 10 points. 1 point will also be earned for each goal scored up to a maximum of 3, and 1 point will be earned for a shutout. Teams may have a point deducted if the team exhibits poor sportsmanship. Please see Misconduct. A maximum of 10 points may be earned in a single game.
Tiebreakers
In the event that two or more teams’ average point total tie them for placement into either the championship or consolation round the tie breaker will be used. Each tie breaker scenario will be applied, in order, until the tie is broken. Once a tie is broken any remaining scenarios will not be used. The following tie breakers will be used (in order of precedence): 1) Head-to-Head, 2) Overall record in tournament, 3) Point differentiation in tournament play (Total Points scored for, less Total Points scored against), and 4) Coin toss
Tents:
Team tents will be allowed to be set up, on Sat. morning after 7am, along the chain link fence and specified tent area along the woods. Each tent leg must be weighted down with a 5 pound weight. No tents are allowed in any other area of the fields. This is to ensure that emergency vehicles are able to enter if needed. Nothing bigger than a golf umbrella is allowed to be on the sidelines during game times.
Game rules:
Playing time
All players must be allowed to play total minutes equal to one half of the game. Teams not adhering to 50% playing time will forfeit said game, it will be scored as a 3-0 shutout, their opponent will be awarded 10 points and the offending team will have a point deducted for poor sportsmanship.
U10
Games will be played 7 vs 7 (including the goalkeeper). Duration will be two 20 minute halves with a 5 minute halftime.
U12
Games will be played 9 vs 9 (including the goalkeeper). Duration will be two 25 minute halves with a 5 minute halftime.
Player Count and Misconduct
A red or yellow card will be issued by the referee for misconduct at their discretion. Any player being issued a yellow card must immediately leave the field and is not allowed to return until the next period of play. A red card or the accumulation of two yellow cards by a player/coach in a single game will result in removal of that individual for the remainder of that game and will carry a one game suspension. The offender’s team will receive a deduction of one point for poor sportsmanship for that game. An accumulation of two red cards by an individual during the course of the tournament will result in suspension of that individual for the remainder of the tournament. When a player is removed, the team will play short. A U10 then must field 6 players, and U12 would field 8. When a team is playing down one of those players must be designated as goalie and sport the appropriate identification.
