Tournament Overtime Rules
Applies to the U9-U18 Tournament
Any games before semi-finals will immediately go to penalty kicks. 5 penalty kicks will be taken by each team (teams will alternate kicks and players taking the kicks do not have to be on the field at the end of regulation). If there is still a tie after 5 penalty kicks, then sudden victory penalty kicks will be taken by each team (teams will alternate kicks). The first team to score on a penalty kick when the opponent does not score on a penalty kick is declared the winner. Sudden victory penalty kicks cannot include any of the first 5 players until all players on the team have taken a kick.
Semi and Finals Games: One ten-minute period with two five-minute halves with no break between halves (teams switch sides). The team that has scored the most goals during the ten-minute period is declared the winner (the overtime period is not sudden death where the first team to score wins). If the game is still tied after the overtime period, 5 penalty kicks will be taken by each team (teams will alternate kicks and players taking the kicks do not have to be on the field at the end of regulation). If there is still a tie after 5 penalty kicks, then sudden victory penalty kicks will be taken by each team (teams will alternate kicks). The first team to score on a penalty kick when the opponent does not score on a penalty kick is declared the winner. Sudden victory penalty kicks cannot include any of the first 5 players until all players on the team have taken a kick. Any game that makes it to half-time that has to be canceled due to weather is considered a complete game.
