Rules
Tournament Structure - Each team is guaranteed 4 games during group play with a maximum of 6 games on the day. There will be a recreational bracket and a competitive bracket—essentially two separate tournaments. Each winning team will receive a prize.
Number of Players - Ten (10) is the maximum number of players allowed on any given team. A player may only register for one team. Games will be played with a total of five (5) players on the field per side at least two (2) of which must be female at all times. There will be no goalkeepers.
Team Uniforms and Equipment - Teams will wear uniforms/t-shirts of matching colors—provided at check-in on the day of the tournament. Shinguards are recommended but not required. The playing surface is field turf, so cleats, turf shoes, or flats are all appropriate. Game balls will be provided.
Game Duration- Each game will be twenty (20) minutes in duration with a half time. There will be five (5) minutes between each game. The referee will keep time. Games tied after regulation will end in a tie except in the playoff rounds. Golden goal will be used to decide contests in the semi-final and final games. Any team delaying the start of a game by more than five (5) minutes will forfeit the by a score of 3-0.
Group Play Scoring - Each win will be worth three (3) points. A tie is worth one (1) point. Losses are awarded zero (0) points. Head-to-head results will be considered first, followed by goal differential, to decide any group bracket ties.
Referees - There will be one referee per field for all games. Substitutions may be made on the fly.
Field Rules - Direct, indirect, and penalty kicks will be awarded at the referee's discretion. Throw-ins, goal kicks and corner kicks will used to restart play. There will be no offsides in effect.
Sportsmanship - Players are expected to act in the nature of good sportsmanship at all times, particularly when thinking about abusing the poor referees; their job is tough! All games will be played in the spirit of SWB, using “fair play points” in addition to goals to determine the result of a game. Following each game, both teams will circle up and award the other team fair play points on a scale of 1-3, with 1 indicating poor sportsmanship and 3 indicating good sportsmanship. Fair play points will be counted as the same as a goal, so on-field attitude conduct is important! Consider language, attitude, respect, language, treatment of opponents/teammates/referees, and overall positivity when awarding fair play points.
