-
All games will be played indoors on an artificial turf field. The field dimensions are 105ft x 160ft. Teams shall consist of 6 players on the field (5 outfield players + a goalkeeper).
-
This tournament will be a world cup style format. Each team will get 3 round robin games. The Knockout Stage may consist of 4 rounds; First Round, Round of 16, Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and The Final.
-
All games must end on a GOAL! Each game shall consist of 20-30 minutes of regulation time. When this time elapses, the game is not done. After the conclusion of the 20-30 minutes, matches go into "Target Score Time", with a target of one goal more than the leading team's (or tied teams') score. Every 3 minutes in Target Score Time, a player is removed from each side until each side is reduced to 2 players (1 player + 1 goalkeeper) or the winning goal is scored, whichever comes first.
