General Information
1. Before your first game please go to the head tournament table, located on the left side of the concession stand to make payment arrangements, turn in team roster, and receive tournament updates.
2. Please remind parents and players that we are trying to promote good sportsmanship. So please have fun and cheer for your team but let the coaches, and coaches only, talk to the referees. Coaches will be responsible for the parents and players on their teams.

Coaches, you may bring a cooler for use during your game.

Rules
1. North County CYC soccer rules will apply except where otherwise noted below.
2. Home team will be determined by coin-flip before the game. Home team will determine direction. Visiting team will center-off first half.
3. All games will consist of twenty-five (25) minute halves. In extremely hot weather, a break may be taken at the halfway point in each half to allow the players to rehydrate. This will be at the discretion of the tournament director (or his alternate) and the referees.
4. Free substitution. Both teams can sub on any goal kick. Teams can sub on their own corner kick or throw-in. If the possessing team subs on their corner kick or throw-in, the other team is also allowed to sub. Substitution is at the referee’s discretion during the last 2 minutes of play.
5. All games can end in a tie except semi-finals and finals. In semi-finals and finals that end in a tie there will be up to two – 5 minute overtimes with golden goal in effect. If teams remain tied after both overtimes, penalty kicks will determine the winner. Penalty kick process will follow the rules for “Knockout Competition” as outlined in the Archdiocesan CYC Soccer Rules Handbook.
6. Brackets are setup for pool play. Points will be awarded for each game. See point system on next page.
