Game Cards

Coaches supply their own game cards for all games.

Game cards to be collected by the center refs following each game and given to the field marshals.

Game cards to be paper clipped together following each game in order to better figure out scores and fill in electronic brackets on the Area 2C web site. www.ayso2c.org

Sunday games will be collected by the regional representatives at each field. Those cards will be given to the score keepers following the tournament.




Point System

Point system as follows:

a. 1 point per goal up to three goals.

b. 1 additional point for a shut out.

c. 6 points for a win.

d. 3 points for a tie.

e. 1 point deducted for a player send off, either red card or two combined yellow cards.

f. 1 point deducted for winning any game over a 6 goal differential.

g. 6 points for a Bye.

h. 8 points for a forfeit.

i. 6 points for each team for a Double Forfeit. This is in case no ref shows for a game and the game is called. See Ref info below.


Ties in semis go directly to Kicks from the Mark since there is no real time to extend the semi games and give the proper rest time between semis and finals.

Ties following regulation in semi's and finals games will play two 5 minute overtime periods (no golden goal). If tied after overtime periods, teams will go directly to Kicks from the Mark. Only players on the field at the end of the 2nd 5 minute overtime can participate in the penalty kicks. FIFA instructions (Procedure to Determine the Winner of a Match) for the taking of kicks from the penalty mark will be followed.

Rainout hotline should be updated by 7AM. MDSA rainout hot line is 672-3373. MDSA Hotline is usually updated by 7:30AM.



Field Info

No dogs allowed on Concord or MDSA fields.

Teams in opening games will be responsible for field set up.

Teams in last game of the day will be responsible for field take down.



Awards

Medals will be handed out at the field marshal meeting to the various marshals who will deliver to the fields of play.

Center Ref's or a regional rep will be responsible for handing out the medals to the winning and runner up teams.



Refs

If only one referee shows up - they should use club linesman - positioned on opposite sides of the field from their home team.

If no refs show up then a uniformed referee could step in - but both coaches have to agree on the referee. Once agreed - then the game results stand. If one coach does not agree - the result reverts back to the 'no ref' situation.

Must be impressed upon everyone that NO GAME can be played if no Certified Referee is in the center. This would result in the double forfeit (6 points for each team) as mentioned above in the Point System category.
