TEAM STANDINGS AND TIE-BREAKERS
Team standings will be based on the following scoring system:
Win….3 points
Tie……1 point
Loss…..0 points
Tie-breaker system is as follows:
***If 3 teams are tied, we will proceed down the tie-breakers until there is a winner or one team is eliminated. If one team is eliminated, then we will start back with those two remaining teams at tie-breaker one (1) and proceed down the tie-breakers with the remaining two teams.
***In the event that the wildcard team comes from Group A then Group A winner will play Group C winner and Group B winner will play the wildcard. This will prevent two teams from the same bracket playing each other again in the semi-finals.
Kickoff will be at the scheduled time unless games are delayed. A team not ready to play at the scheduled time or immediately after the conclusion of the previous game is subject to forfeiting the match. Home team sits on North or East side and changes if color conflict.

An ejected player or coach is ineligible for the next scheduled game. Any ejected player or coach must report to tournament headquarters immediately after receiving the red card. Ejection for fighting will automatically result in the player(s) not being allowed to participate in the remainder of the Tournament. A player who accumulates three yellow cards in the tournament will serve a 1-game suspension for the next tournament game. Should a player receive a red card, that player must sit out the remainder of that game plus the next game. Should a player receive a second red card in the Tournament, that play will be suspended from the remainder of the Tournament. In addition, any coach receiving a yellow card in two consecutive games will be ineligible to participate in the next scheduled game. All red cards will be reported to your State Association.
