Please Read!: One penalty point will be accessed to the winning team if the final score differential is 5 or more goals. For Example: A final score of 6-1 means 2 Net Tournament Point for the winner and 0 for the loser. Details: (6-1= 5 goal differential. With 5 goal differential or more, the winning team is penalized 1 penalty point) so, 3 Points for win minus 1 penalty point = 2 Net Tournament Points for the winning team. A final score of 6-2 means (a 4 goal differential, no Penalty Points) so 3 points for the winning team. ***intentional “own goals” to manipulate the final score to cause penalty points will not be considered in penalty calculations.

Championship Game If any playoff game/championship game is tied at the end of regulation: 1. Coin toss to determine kickoff or choose side of field 2. A five minute overtime will be played. All 5 minutes will be played. This is not sudden death. 3. If still tied, switch sides, play a second 5 minute overtime period. This overtime is sudden death. 4. If still tied, a 5 player shootout. The shooters and goalkeeper can be from any players on the team both on the field and on the bench. 5. If still tied, sudden death shootout.

If still tied, now ignoring everything that happened in c) and d) above. The sudden death shootout will continue. But, all players on a team must take a shot before a player takes their second shot. For example: in c) players A, B, C, D, E took shots. In d), players F, G took shots and then the other team exhausted all their players. Now both teams start fresh, but all must take a shot before one can take their second shot. So if this team has 10 players, you could now in e) restart and rotate A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, A, … and the other teams e) rotation could be A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A, B, … Special Tournament Considerations:
