Format
- We have 9 teams signed up for Elite and 4 teams for the Recreational group.
- We will start off with 3 Elite groups (randomly drawn) and 1 Rec group -> all play all once in each group.
- Then we will create 3 new Elite groups (1sts, 2nds, 3rds) -> again, all play all once in each group.
- The Top 8 Elite teams will progress to a knockout phase where each team will play 3 knockout / placement games.
- The bottom Elite team will move into a bigger Rec group with 5 teams now -> all play all once to decide final placement.
- All games will be 10 minutes and started and ended centrally. Then we will have 5 mins for a quick changeover of teams and scribes.
- Teams are allowed to share/lend goalkeepers.
- The tournament is intended to be very friendly and we ask referees to whistle accordingly.
- There are no bench penalties - they are replaced with a penalty shot.
