Playing times – games are 20 minute halves for U10 and U12, and 25 minutes for U14.
There will be no coin toss - home team will select which end to defend and visiting team will kick-off
If teams are tied at the end of regular time, there will be no extra time, and the winner is determined through penalties - best of 5 penalties, sudden death if tied after the first 5. Coaches - please review the penalty shoot-out procedure summarized here.
For all U10 and U12 games going to penalties, except in the final rounds, penalties will be taken on Field 10 to avoid delaying the games following on the original field. U14 will stay on Field 1 to take penalties, if required.
