3.  COMPETITION RULES

Teams arriving late:
If a team is fifteen (15) or more minutes late without a valid reason, the game may be forfeited or the team arriving on time may be awarded goal(s).  (Up to the discretion of the convenor and/or MHSAA representative)

Game Length        All games will consist of two- 45 minute halves (new).

Overtime
Should there be overtime, the overtime will consist of two 7 1/2 minute halves.  After that, if the teams are still tied, penalty kicks (as per FIFA Rules) will decide the winner.  Teams will select five players from those eleven players on the field at the end of the overtime to take the first round of kicks alternately with the opposition.  If, after the first round of shots the score still remains tied, then teams will continue alternating the shootout one at a time with those players of the eleven who have not shot.  Teams must have an even number of shots to declare a winner.  That is, the first team to score does not necessarily win.  If the score remains tied after all eleven players have taken kicks, then any of the first five shooters is eligible to take kicks again.  

Uniforms
Shin guards are mandatory.  Teams must have the same coloured shirts and matching shorts.  Absolutely no multicoloured shorts, knee length shorts or cut off jean shorts.  A set of extra uniforms or pinnies (numbered) should also be brought to prevent uniform clashes.  Teams with improper uniforms may not be allowed to play. Athletes, team members and coaches will not be allowed to wear headgear during competition (except the goal keeper). Athletes, team members and coaches will not be allowed to wear headwear during opening ceremonies, award ceremonies or any special functions.

*            Coaches should be advised that if the uniform rule is not adhered to, they may not be allowed to compete and may be fined up to $200.00 and be put on probation.  (Probation being that; if the school violated the infraction again, the school may be suspended from all MHSAA activities).

*        Advertising on uniforms must adhere to guidelines as outlined on pages 73-74

Substitutions
Each team is allowed an unlimited number of substitutes.  Substitutions are allowed at any time during the game when there is a definite stoppage in play and when the substituting team is in possession of the ball.  The referee must be informed of the intention to enter the game by calling “substitution”.  The substitute should remain on the sidelines until the referee waves him/her in.  Players coming out of the game may return later.  Players sent off during a game by the referee cannot be replaced.  The suspended player cannot return during the game.

Cautions
A player receiving one red or two yellow cards during the tournament will be automatically suspended for the following game.  In the case of a red card received during a game, the player will be ejected and the team will be forced to play short for that game.  The player will not be allowed to play in the next game.  If a player receives two yellow cards in one game he/she will be ejected from the game and the team will be forced to play short for that game.  The player will not be allowed to play in the next game. If a player receives two yellow cards during the tournament he/she will be suspended from the next game.
