2008 KISYL 14-17 COED DOUBLE ELIMINATION TOURNAMENT

Additional Tourney Rules:

GAMES: 30-MINUTE HALVES; ONE 10-MINUTE SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME PERIOD (IF NECESSARY); IF THE GAME IS STILL TIED AFTER THE OVERTIME PERIOD, THEN 5 PLAYERS FROM EACH TEAM SHOOTOUT.  THE SHOOTOUT GOALIES MUST HAVE PLAYED AT LEAST ONE 30-MINUTE HALF OR THE ENTIRE 10-MINUTE OVERTIME IN THE GOAL.  THE GOALIE CAN TAKE ONE OF THE PENALTY SHOTS.  1^ST ROUND SHOOTOUT PARTICIPANTS MUST BE ON THE FIELD AT THE END OF PLAY.

ALL PLAYERS MUST PLAY AT LEAST 50% OF THE GAME UNLESS INJURED OR A PLAYER REFUSES TO PLAY.  (THIS IS A KIYSL RULE).

NUMBER OF PLAYERS:  7 VS 7 (IF ONLY 4 PLAYERS SHOW, THEN IT IS A FORFEIT) A TEAM CAN PLAY WITH 5 OR 6, BUT DON’T EXPECT THE OTHER TEAM TO PLAY DOWN.  THE DECISION TO PLAY LESS THEN 7 PLAYERS IS UP TO THE COACHES.  YOU SHOULD NOT PLAY DOWN A PLAYER JUST TO ALLOW SUBSTITUTIONS. THIS IS THE END OF THE YEAR TOURNEY. 

TEAMS NEED TO BE READY TO PLAY WITHIN 10-MINUTES OF THE POSTED GAME TIME (OR COMPLETION OF THE PRIOR GAME ON THE FIELD- WHICHEVER IS LATER), OR IT IS A FORFEIT.

IF THE 5-PERSON SHOOTOUT ENDS IN A TIE, EACH COACH MUST CHOOSE ANOTHER 5-PERSON SHOOTOUT GROUP (NO REPEAT SHOOTERS; IF THERE ARE LESS THAN 10 PLAYERS ON EACH TEAM AT THE GAME, THEN THE 2^ND ROUND OF SHOOTOUT PARTICIPANTS IS REDUCED TO THE LOWEST NUMBER THAT INCLUDES ALL PLAYERS ON THE TEAM WITH THE FEWEST PLAYERS – EXAMPLE IF THERE ARE 8 PLAYERS ON ONE TEAM AND 9 ON ANOTHER, THEN THE SECOND GROUP OF SHOOTOUT PARTICPANTS WILL BE THREE ).  IF STILL TIED AFTER THE 2^ND ROUND OF PENALTY SHOTS, THEN THE SHOOTOUTS BECOME SUDDEN DEATH (EACH TEAM GETS EQUAL NUMBER OF SHOTS), AND THE COACHES CAN USE PREVIOUS SHOOTERS. 

WINNING COACH – PLEASE CALL OR E-MAIL JOE ON 410-643-0119 WITH THE FINAL SCORE.   MY CELL IS 202-369-3202, IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS.

IF THE FIELDS ARE PLAYABLE (CHECK WEBSITE) THEN THE GAMES MUST BE PLAYED.  "COACHES DISCRESSION" MEANS PLAY UNLESS THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.  IF WE HAVE RAINOUTS, THEN I WILL HAVE TO MAKE A LOT OF CALLS.  GOOD LUCK TO ALL!
