FIFA with ISST provisions as follows:
Maximum number of players (including managers) will be fifteen (15).
Maximum of six (6) substitutions per team allowed in any one game can be used providing FIFA procedures
are followed. Players may therefore re-­‐enter the game. Any player sent off cannot be replaced.
Games will be 2 x 30 minute halves with a five (5) minute halftime. In a tied quarter or semi final game extra
time will be played 2 x 10 minutes with no half-­‐time break. In a tied medal game extra time will be played 2
x 10 minutes with no half-­‐time break.
A precise record of all yellow and red card offences should be kept by the tournament director. The
tournament director is responsible for keeping totals throughout the championship. Any player sent off in
tournament play is ineligible to play the following game (i.e. the player is banned for one [1] game following
the sending off).
Two (2) yellow cards in separate games do not result in suspension from the next game. (i.e. the cards do
not become red )
In round robin play: Win = 3 pts. Draw = 1 pt. Loss = 0 pts.
Step-­‐1
No extra time will be played in any group stage game.
Places will be determined in descending order of priority as follows:
• Points earned involving the games between the tied teams only.
• Goals difference involving the games between tied teams only
• Goals scored involving the games between tied teams only
• Goal difference involving all group games
• Goals scored involving all group games
• A penalty shoot out will be held
Step-­‐2
If after any stage a three-­‐way tie is resolved by one team being placed first or third, the two remaining
teams use the following steps:
1. Head-­‐to-­‐head result
2. Goal difference involving the games between the tied teams (including all three)
3. Goals scored involving the games between the tied teams (including all three)
4. Goal difference involving all group games
5. Goals scored involving all group games
6. A penalty shoot out will be held
This will be done at the end of the group stages with any team not in attendance forfeiting their games.
1) In a three-­‐team penalty shoot out, teams play each other in the same order as in pool play.
2) In a three-­‐team penalty shoot-­‐out, the winning team will be awarded three (3) points and the losing
team zero (0) points.
3) Should there be a tie at the conclusion of the group stage penalty shoot out, places will be determined
as ina flight ite, but including the first five(5) penalties per team, per shoot out.
1. Each team will nominate eleven (11) players, including goalkeeper for each shoot out game.
2. From the eleven (11) players, the team nominates five (5) penalty takers.
3. A toss of a coin decides the option to take the first penalty.
4. Penalties will be taken alternately. A minimum of five (5) penalties must be taken by each side. If the
scores are even at the end of five (5) penalties, the score must be noted and a sudden death penalty
shoot out will begin. Only players not used in the original five (5) penalties can be used from the eleven
(11) declared at the beginning of the shoot out. This continues until one team wins on an equal number
for penalty kicks.
5. Should the result not be achieved once all eleven (11) nominated players have taken a penalty, then
sudden death continues using the eleven (11) nominated players, including the first five (5) penalty
takers, in the same order as originally used.
In a tied Quarter Final/Semi Final and all Medal games extra time will be played and if still tied then
penalty kicks will be taken.
No extra time will be played in games to decide non-­‐medal places (i.e. places 5 -­‐12). In an event of a tie
the place will be shared.
Note: In the 9-­‐12 play offs, any tied game shall conclude with a shootout per the above. The outcome
becomes the head-­‐to-­‐head result only for the match of the teams that are tied for position. The match is
recorded as a tie and the winner of the shootout is NOT the winner of the actual match.
