Teams should look to make their reservations as soon as possible to get the best choices. Please mention San DiegoShores’ CountyCup to get the tournament rate.
FORMAT: Each division will play in a double-elimination format (unless there are not
enough participating teams that we make it into a round-robin format). The
format and the rules being used are that of the Speedo Cup National
Championships which gives a minimum 4 games to a maximum of 6 games
(usually to medal contenders) throughout the weekend.
AWARDS: 15 Gold Medals for each division
15 Silver Medals for each division
15 Bronze Medals for each division
7 All-Tournament Team Trophies for each division
1 Tournament MVP Award for each division
1 Silver glass-bottomed Pilsner for each division’s Champion Coach
PLAYING RULES: 2011 USWP rules including:
- All teams must meet grade level requirement.
- All athletes, coaches, and Clubs must be USWP registered for 2011.
- Teams are limited to 15 players, although we will allow more on your roster upon request, but we only award 15 medals per team.
- The course will be 25 yards with wall cages, except for where floating goals are necessary.
- The ball size for all divisions except 10U (Size 3) will be Kap7 size 4.
- Each team will be entitled to two timeouts per game.
- Ties in advancement games outside original bracket will be played out with one sudden death overtime period. Any remaining timeouts from the previous four quarters can be carried over. In all medal games we will use the two 3-minute overtime rule.
- Ties within brackets will be determined by “fewer goals against.” This will keep teams from having to run-up the score. Instead, teams will focus on defense and allowing fewer goals.
- Code of Conduct toward officials and Scorer’s Table Staff will be upheld.
- Only coaches listed on your team roster will be allowed on the bench.
- Ejection areas are opposite the scorer’s table, unless otherwise noted before the game.
