In the event of inclement weather, the Nutmeg State Games Administration reserves the right to modify the schedule and all tournament rules in order to safely and fairly end the tournament successfully.

Roster Check-Ins:

• Prior to the first game of the tournament each team will be required to have their roster checked by the site director at that location.
• Roster checks will be done at the same time of equipment checks with the game official present.
• We ask each team to be at their field 15 minutes prior to the schedule start time of their game so that we may get through rosters efficiently without delaying the any games.
• Each team must have each participant playing in the tournament with the proper proof of age available.
• We ask that each team send in their proof of age prior to the start of the tournament. Coaches will need to have a copy of their complete roster and proof of age for all players with them for all games.
• Players that arrive late to the tournament must be checked off by the site director prior to them entering the game.
• If medal round games are a separate day than the first day of play roster checks will be completed prior to a team’s first medal round game.

Game format will be:

•  11 & Under 8 v8 and 12 & Under - 9 v 9 with two 30 minute halves in preliminary and medal rounds

•   14 & Under, 16 & Under and 18 & Under - two 35 minute halves in preliminary and medal rounds.

IMPORTANT: NO-OVER TIME GAMES will be played in the preliminary rounds!  Preliminary round games will end in a tie. Over-time format will apply to medal round games ONLY. One ten minute over-time will be played to completion. If the game is still tied, penalty kicks will be taken to determine a winner.

All coaches are responsible for assuring that all players are properly equipped.

•  Teams will be allowed a maximum of 22 players, two coaches and one scorekeeper for credentials and awards.

•   Teams are to provide their own practice and game balls.

•    Any player or coach ejected from a game (RED CARD) may not participate in the team’s next game.

Two-Team Ties: In the event of a two-way tie in the standings, the following tiebreaker system will be used (in-order) until the tie is broken

1. Head to Head record
2. Total Points
   1. 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, 0 points for a loss
3. Goals allowed
4. Goals scored
5. Coin toss

Ties Involving Three or More Teams:
In the event of a tie amongst three or more teams, the tie breaking system (above) will be used (in-order) until the highest seeded team is determined. Once the highest seed is determined, the remaining tied teams will RESTART from the BEGINNING of the tie breaking system.

Score-Keeper
All teams are required to provide an official score keeper as part of their roster. We strongly recommend that the score keeper be an adult and must be present at each contest. The home team's (which will be determined by a coin toss before each game) score keeper will be the official score keeper for that game with the visiting team also keeping score as a secondary or back up score book. The official score keeper will sit with the administration and volunteers at the scorer’s table or tent during the contest. The score keeper is now part of your roster and will be treated as a member of your team.
