Oakfield / Alexander Soccer Clubs Present: 5 th Annual 6 v 6 Shootout Tournament

Dear Coach:

You are invited to the 5th Annual Oakfield / Alexander 6v6 Shootout Tournament. Our first tournament of the year saw 21 teams in 5 divisions participate in a great day of soccer. Our 2nd tournament will be Saturday August 1st, which will be held at Alexander Central Schools. Our tournament will be played on 55-yard by 35-yard fields, and will be played 6v6 plus goalies. We will offer both boys and girls divisions in each age group (U11, U13, U15, U17, U19). In the event that there is not enough for an age group to take place, we will offer the teams an opportunity to move up an age division or refund your money.

The registration deadline is July 24th for the August 1st Tournament.

We have up to 7 fields available for play which allows the tournament to be over by 5pm under most circumstances. We will also have concessions available for players and spectators on site.

The cost to enter a team is $150. It is the responsibility of the coach to ensure that all of their players are properly insured before attending the tournament. Coaches should have a NYSW certified roster or be prepared to show proof of insurance for all of their players. Valid player passes are also acceptable, but you must have a roster.

Rules for the tournament are attached. The idea behind this tournament is that it is roughly ½ a soccer field with roughly ½ the number of players. Most everything else is the same (rules, etc) with a few minor changes, which are listed on the rules page.

Winning teams will receive 13 championship t-shirts. All teams are guaranteed 3 games.

Players may play in multiple age divisions as long as they are age appropriate, however we cannot schedule games to accommodate this. If there are any questions please contact Tim Grimes via email ([email protected]) Chad Flint via phone 585-259- 2968 or email ([email protected]).

Equipment: All players should be properly equipped with shin guards and matching uniforms with numbers clearly visible. No metal studded cleats. Playing Area: This tournament will be played on 55 by 35 fields (close to half a regulation field). The goalie box will be a 12-yard box instead of the usual 18-yard box. Goals will be regulation size. We will have up to 7 fields available. Game Rules: ● The tournament will be played 6v6 plus goalies ● All players must be wearing shin guards and be wearing matching uniforms with numbers. Pinnies will be available in case of color conflicts. No metal studded cleats. ● Games will be 25 minutes running time (clock only stopped for an injury) ● The clock will start running at the scheduled start time, any team not ready to play within five minutes will forfeit the game. ● Goalkeepers may not punt or drop kick the ball (penalty: indirect free kick from spot of infraction). ● Any unsportsmanlike conduct may result in dismissal from the tournament. ● Substitutions can be made at any time as long as the player coming off is within the bench area and no advantage is gained from the substitution. ● Players or coaches ejected from a game will be suspended for a MINIMUM of the next game and will be subject to a board review for reinstatement. ● On a free kick opposing players must be a minimum of 5 yards from the ball. ● Goal kicks and kickoffs are indirect, as are goalkeeper’s throws. ● Player’s age level eligibility is determined by their age THE DAY OF THE TOURNAMENT. ● All other rules are normal FIFA rules.

Point System: ● 6 points for a win, 2 point for a tie, 0 points for a loss. ● 1 point for a shutout ● 1 point for each goal differential in a game (max of three). (ie, a 2-1 win has a goal differential of 1, therefore the winning team would receive 7 points, 6 for the win and 1 for goal differential. Max points for a single game would be 10, a 3-0 win). ● Top team in each division will advance to the final. ● In the event that two teams are tied in points at the end of round robin play, the tie breaks are as follows: ● head to head play ● most wins ● fewest goals allowed ● most goals scored (max of 3 per game) ● penalty kicks (sudden victory)

Playoff Tiebreaker: Teams that are tied after regulation during the playoffs will play 5 minutes of golden goal overtime. If the tie is still not broken the game will be decided by a penalty kick shootout (normal shootout rules apply).
