The substitute must wait for the player to leave the pitch before entering. When substituting, the team must notify the referee when the ball is out-of-bounds for the substitution to happen. Substituted players shall be allowed to re-enter during the same match (rolling substitutions).
A maximum of five (5) minutes allowance shall be allowed after the starting whistle by the referee, failing which a walkover may be awarded to the opponents with full points and a registered score of 3-0.
Win: 3 points; Draw: 1 point; Loss: 0 points
Coaches, team managers and supporters shall not question the referee's decision. The use of foul language and/or aggressive behaviour could lead to a team being removed from the tournament. All teams are reminded that this is a youth tournament and that positive support is strongly encouraged. Please take a moment to read our stance on Parent Conduct here.
If the field becomes unsuitable for play due to heavy rain, lightning or for any other reasons, the Tournament Committee reserves the right to decide on the event or change the format of the event.
In the event that lightning or bad weather causes a stop in play, a match result will stand if more than 10 minutes of that match has been played. If less than 10 minutes of a match has been played at the time of the stoppage, the remainder of the match will be played once conditions are deemed safe by the organiser. In the case of severe weather, the organiser reserves the right to amend the schedule and formats in order to complete the tournament according to our principles of safety.
A medical team will be on site at both locations to aid injuries, however players must have their own medical insurance. The tournament organisers are not liable for any death, disability, personal injury, loss of property or any other loss howsoever arising from any cause whatsoever at any time during the course of this tournament. The organising team will take all reasonable precaution, but each player is responsible for his or her personal health and safety upon agreement to participate in this tournament.
In the event of a protest or dispute, the Tournament Committee shall have sole jurisdiction in settling the matter.
