better figure out scores and fill in electronic brackets on the Area 2C
web site. www.ayso2c.org

Tie Breakers for bracket play
- Goal differential will be +/- goals first.
- Goals will be counted up to a max of 3 goals per game.
- If there is still a tie, least amount of goals given up.
- If there is still a tie, flip of a coin will determine the winners.
- Ties
in semis and finals will 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.
Game Results
- Game
results for Saturday will be posted by Mike Morrissey and crew. All
Saturday game scores will be updated on the Area Web site by 8PM
Saturday evening. Coaches should check the Area web site late Saturday

standings which will determine who goes to the divisional final games.

Rain Out Info

on Sunday, point totals and goal differential will decide the winners
of the Area Cup via the Tie Breaker Rules.
- Goal differential will be +/- goals first. Goals will be counted up to a max of 3 goals per game.
- If there is still a tie, least amount of goals given up.
- If there is still a tie, flip of a coin will determine the winners.

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.
- Concord Field Point Person: Tony Martinez 709-9794 home 628-6156 Cell / Megan Pollastrini 676-2903 home 408-1410 cell
- PHMSA Field Point Person: Heather Schaefer / 925-212-1791 cell / 925-228-7352
Awards
- Medals will be delivered to the various fields hosting Finals and placed in the knack boxes.
- Center Ref's for the finals will be responsible for handing out the medals to the winning and runner up teams. TBD
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.
- Because
there is little time between games - there will be no coin toss for any
pool play game. Home team will kick off and visiting team will select
side to attack. Semis and Finals will have coin toss.
