Klein 3v3 Winter Shootout Rules 2020 Tournament Rules

*FIFA rules apply if not modified within* REGISTRATION.

Teams must have completed registration and will be deemed accepted once payment has been received by the tournament administration. Players must be on the roster prior to the first game.

NUMBER OF PLAYERS: A team may consist of a maximum of six (6) players. Three players will be on the field at a time. There are no goalkeepers in 3v3. No changes may be made to the roster after registration check-in. Any exceptions must be approved by the Tournament Director. Players may only play on one team
per division.

TEAM UNIFORMS: All players must wear uniforms during play. Each uniform must have a number. For this event light and dark jersey options are not required, however if the opposing team’s uniform is too similar, then pennies must be worn by the Home team. The home team is the first team listed on the schedule.

PLAYING RULES:

• All age groups will play on approximately 40 yd. x 20 yd. fields with small goals.
• There are no offsides and no goalkeepers.
• There is no slide tackling.
• When the ball leaves the field of play, a kick-in will be awarded from the spot the ball went into touch. A goal kick or corner kick will be awarded if the ball travels over the end line. Goal kicks may be taken from any point along the end line.
• Kick-offs may be taken in any direction.
• All dead ball restarts, including corner kicks and fouls, are indirect. In all dead ball situations, defending players must stand at least five yards away from the ball. If the defensive player’s goal area is closer than five yards away, the ball shall be placed five yards from the goal crease in line with the place of
  the foul.
• Penalty kicks shall be awarded if, in the referee’s opinion, a scoring opportunity was nullified by the infraction. A penalty kick is a direct kick taken from the mid-line (center field) with all players standing behind the mid-line. If a goal is not scored, the opposing team is awarded a goal kick.
• Substitutions may be made on any stoppage of play, except free kicks and penalty kicks. Please notify the referee of all substitutions.
• No Headers for all age groups.

GAME DURATION: A team will forfeit the game if not ready to play at the scheduled time, at the discretion of the referee or Tournament Director. It is the responsibility of the coach or team manager to check the schedule for any changes the day of the tournament. You will not be notified of any changes, except if your first game time is changed.

Games will consist of two 10-minute halves separated by a two-minute halftime AND if a team reaches a 12-goal lead during the game, the game will end. Games ending in tie will be considered a tie, except during playoffs, when the golden goal rule will be enforced, followed by penalty kicks. The golden goal overtime will consist of one (1) period, 5 minutes in length, with a coin toss to decide kickoff and direction. The first team to score during that period will be declared the winner.

If the game is still tied, penalty kicks will be taken to determine a winner. The three players from each team that were on the field at the end of the final golden goal period will alternate taking the penalty kicks. The team that has scored the most penalty kicks at the end of the first-round wins. If it is still tied at the end of the first
round, the same players will rotate in a sudden death penalty kick from the mid-line until a winner is decided.

SCORING: Winning team is responsible for reporting the score to the Clubhouse. A goal may only be scored from a touch within a team’s offensive half of the field. If a goal is scored from the defending half of the field, a goal kick is awarded to the opposing team. Standings will be based on the 3-point scale:

• 3 points for a win,
• 1 point for a tie,
• and 0 points for a loss.

In pool play, ties between two or more teams will be broken by:

1) head to head results between teams,
2) goal differential,
3) goals scored,
4) goals against.

Note: only 5 goals max will be counted towards goal differential. In a cross-bracket group for a team to advance they must have a minimum of 3 points to advance to the next round.

EJECTIONS: Referees have the right to eject a player, coach, or parent from the game. If a player on the field is ejected, the team must complete the game with two players on the field. Substitutions may still take place, but the offending team may only have two players on the field at any one time. Players, coaches, or parents whom are ejected by the referee must leave the field and area around the field. The game will not restart until the offending player, coach, or parent has been removed, yet the game clock will continue. If a player, coach, or parent refuse to leave, the game may be forfeited in favor of the opposing team. An ejected player may be required to sit out the team’s next scheduled game of the tournament or may be banned from the remainder of the tournament; depending on the severity of the foul causing the ejection. All referee decisions are final.

GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP: must be used by players, coaches, and spectators at all times. Abuse of the referees and event staff will not be tolerated and could warrant disqualification of the offending person and team from the tournament.

PROTESTS: No protests are allowed. This is a friendly tournament. Referee judgement calls are not grounds for protest.
