Tournament Format & Rules
- Coaches are required to check in at the Registration Desk/Tent PRIOR to their games.
- Coaches should bring a minimum of 3 official RSL rosters for Saturday's games (add another 3 for Sunday if team wins)
- Games are 30min halves
- If scores are tied - no overtime - directly to penalty kicks.
- Penalty Kick Procedure:
- Referee will usually decide which goal to use
- All players other than the kicker and the goalkeepers must remain in the center circle
- Only players who were active on the field at final whistle qualify to participate.
- Teams take turns to kick from the penalty mark until each has taken five kicks. However, if one side has scored more successful kicks than the other could possibly reach with all of its remaining kicks, the shoot-out immediately ends, regardless of the number of kicks remaining; this basis is called "best-of-five kicks".
- If after five rounds of kicks the teams have an equal number of successful kicks, additional rounds of one kick each will be used until one team scores and the other misses. This is known as sudden death.
- The team that scores the most successful kicks at the end of the shoot-out will be the winner of the match.
