SUBSTITUTIONS

MATCH SCHEDULES

Each player will play his group stage matches first (normal a minimum of 3 games). After the 3 games in the group stage, the top two players in each group will qualify for the single-elimination stage up to the final. The brackets in the single-elimination stage are not randomly seeded. If you came first in your group, you will play against a player who came second in his group, and vice versa, in the first round of the elimination stage.

FORFEITS

If a player does not show for the game or forfeits during the game, he/she loses the game with the maximum score of 3-0.

STANDINGS AND TIE-BREAKERS

It is the responsibility of the players to keep up with their team’s standings. Three points will be awarded for a win, one point for a tie and zero points for a loss in the group stage. In the event of ties in point standings, the following sequence will be used to determine who advances to the elimination stage, and who wins his group:

1. Points earned from matches won or tied.

2. Result of head to head game.

3. Goal difference: Total net score for tournament games. Net score = goals scored, less goals scored against.

4. If two teams are still tied, an 8min (4min per half) match will be played to determine the winner.

5. After a tied game in knock-out stage, the game will go to overtime and then penalties to determine a winner.

CONDUCT AND DISCIPLINE

The administration has the right to disqualify players from the tournament after misconduct or unethical behaviour during the Tournament. Disqualification means that the player is not allowed to play any more games in the Tournament and will automatically lose every next game with the maximum score of 3-0.

GENERAL RULES

• A player cannot press the middle pad to use the goal keeper in any point during the match.

• Frequent and purposeful pausing during game play is not allowed.
