Coaching Area

Each team is allowed up-to two (2) certified and approved Coaches (i.e. Head Coach and Assistant Coach). Both Coaches must stay within the Coaches' Area during the match, REGARDLESS of whether the area is marked on the field. This area is defined as a space 1-1½ yards back from the touch line and extends 10 yards either side of the halfway line.

Only the players and the coaches are allowed to be in the Coaches' Area. No spectators are allowed in the coaches' area.

(Coaches should use the center circle as a guide when the coaching area is not marked.)

Point System / Tiebreaker

Standings will be determined on the “three-point system” as follows:

WIN = 3 points
TIE = 1 point
LOSS = 0 points
GOAL = 0 points
SHUTOUT = 0 points
FORFEIT = 3 points (scored as a 1-0 win)
SEND OFF = 1 point deduction for each send off of a player or substitute.
EJECTION = 3 point deduction for each ejection of a team official or spectator

In the event teams are tied on the basis of points earned at the conclusion of pool play, a team’s pool play final standings will be determined in accordance with the following sequential tie breaker criteria:

Winner of head to head competition (this criteria not used if more than two teams tied).
Fewest number of blowout matches (max goal differential allowed 6)
Fewest goals allowed
Winner of most games
Greatest number of shutout victories (wins only)
Coin Flip

Above tiebreakers apply to Area play divisions where an Area divisional champion may be required.
