League Games and Playoffs

All registered teams will be guaranteed to play 3 league games. Teams with the highest points in their bracket will play a final championship game; or qualify for a playoff game.

Game Duration

• Games will be 24 minutes in duration, divided into two 12 minute halves; with a 2 minute halftime; or first team to score 12 goals.
• Game begins with coin toss to determine possession and direction
• Clock does not stop during game; with the exception of serious injury
• Kickoff will begin promptly at the hour and half-hour marks.
• Teams that do not kickoff on time may have their game length reduced to accommodate for the delay. A tournament official will signal the start to each game with a horn-signal in order to ensure the tournament remains on schedule. Game duration may be affected if teams are not prepared to start on-time. In the event of intentional delay of game, the team may be penalized by the match official and/or tournament management.

Penalty Kicks

• The 3 players on the field at the end of the overtime will take Penalty Kicks.  A coin toss will determine order.  The team with the most points at the end of shootout determines the winning team.  In the event of a tie, the same three players, in the same order,  will alternate kicks in Sudden Death to determine the winning team. 
• Penalty kicks are taken from the midfield line, inside the circle.

Point System

The tournament will follow the 3-1-0 point system; 3 points for a win, 1 for a tie and 0 points for a loss. The top two teams in each bracket with the most points will advance to the Final.

Field Dimensions

The playing field is 25 yds wide x 35 yds long for all ages and divisions. Goals are 4’x6’, with a 5yd GOAL BOX outlined in front.

GOAL BOX

Since there are no goalkeepers in 3v3 soccer, the GOAL BOX is a designated space where players are not allowed to make contact with the ball. Players may pass through the box, as long as they do not make direct contact with a ball inside the area. If a defensive player makes contact with the ball inside the GOAL BOX, a goal will be awarded to the offensive team. If an offensive player makes contact with the ball inside the GOAL BOX, a goal kick will be awarded. If the ball stops inside the GOAL BOX, a goal kick is awarded to the defending team.  

Restarts

Any ball that exits the field of play across the sideline will be restarted with an Indirect free kick, and may be passed or dribbled in. If the ball is dribbled in, the player taking the kick is allowed one touch (with the ball making a full rotation) before a defender may take it.

Kick0ffs- are indirect, may go in any direction but MAY NOT start with a dribble

Penalty Kicks and Corners- are direct but MAY NOT start with a dribble

Goalkicks- are indirect, and MAY start with a dribble

*At the taking of any indirect or direct kick, the defensive team must show a designated 5yds of distance before the play will commence.

Substitution

All substitutions can take place at any dead-ball situation, where the referee must acknowledge the substitution. No on-the-fly subbing!

Goal Scoring

A goal may only be scored in the offensive team’s half. Goals scored on a team’s own half will be disallowed, and restarted with a goal kick for the opposing team.
