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. 

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.
