· Games are twenty-five minutes – there is no half-time;
· Late starting games will be shortened to five minutes before the start of the next match even if it means the match is less than 20 minutes long;
· If a clash of shirts, second named team has to play in an alternative strip;

· Points system is 5 points for a win, 2 for a draw, none for a loss, 2 points for each goal scored and minus 1 for conceding a goal;
· Top two teams in each group play in the final for the “JUG”. Runners-Up in each group play off for 3rd place.
· If the Final is all square, a seven-a-side golden goal game will be played – max time 10 minutes then penalties;
· If other play off place matches finish all square, then both teams have come equal;
· For qualification – if teams are equal on points then, firstly the team who won when the teams met will finish higher; then goals count, then most wins, then flicks; and
· In the event of a disagreement not covered above then the decision of the organising committee prevails and no disputes are allowed or tolerated.
