Game Tie-Breaking Procedures
(semi-final & final games only)
If tied at the end of regulation time:
A. Sudden Death Overtime
1. 2 5-minute periods
2. NO goal-keepers (except for penalty kicks)
3. Number of players on the field: 11v11; 11 players, 9v9; 9 players, 7v7; 7 players
4. FIRST GOAL WINS!
If still tied after both 5-minute overtimes:
B. Shoot-Out
1. Each team picks 5 shooters and a goal-keeper (the goalie may be one of the shooters) from the players on the roster.
2. Shooters will alternate taking turns (home team goes first) until all ten have had a turn. The team with the most goals wins!
3. At the start: (referees will choose the goal), *passers & wings- shooters will start at the top of the penalty box and the goal-keeper shall be on the goal line. *strikers & kickers- shooters will start at the bottom of the kick-off circle and the goal-keeper shall be on the goal line.
4. Each player will be allowed 10 seconds to score. A player may play the ball as many times as he/she wants, but once the goal-keeper gains possession, or the ball goes out of bounds, the play is dead.
5. The goal-keeper & the shooter may both move once the whistle is blown to start the 10 seconds.
6. If the goal-keeper commits a foul and no goal is scored, a penalty kick is awarded to the shooter, to be taken by the same shooter/goal-keeper. If the penalty kick is scored, the goal counts.
7. If the shooter commits a foul and a goal is scored, the goal will not count and the shooter's turn is over.
If still tied after first shoot-out:
C. Sudden Death Shoot-Out
