Tournament Rules - Updated Sept 30

1	Substitutions	Unlimited substitutions at midfield only and may be done at anytime; when other players exit the field. No need to inform the referee with the exception of a goalkeeper substitution.
2	Play Time	15-minute halves/2 minute halftime. Finals will be 20-minute halves.
3	Players	All players must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to play. Teams must have at least five (5) players to avoid forfeit. The maximum number of players on the field of play is seven (7). There will be a 5-minute grace time to the scheduled kickoff.
4	Coed Rule	Each team is required to have a minimum of four (4) men and two (2) women on the field at all times. The goalie can be of either gender. If only one woman is present, the team will be required to play short as long as there is a minimum of five (5) players on the field.
5	Roster	Teams can have a maximum of twelve (12) players on the roster. This includes two (2) non-Esri employees.
6	Game Play	Goals are worth one (1) point regardless of gender. Goal kicks and throws from the goalie must touch the ground before crossing the halfway line. Throw-ins will take place when the ball crosses entirely over the touch lines. Goals cannot be scored by direct throw-in. The ball must touch another player before scoring. All free kicks, with the exception of penalty kicks, are indirect. The wall on a free kick is placed at six (6) yards from the spot of the ball. No offsides.
7	Points of Play	Teams are awarded points for game results as follows: 1. Win = 3 points 2. Tie = 1 point 3. Loss = 0 points

8	Confrontations	Any physical confrontation or aggression will disqualify the player or team for the rest of the tournament. NO EXCEPTIONS/NO REFUNDS.
9	Red Card	If a player receives a red card, he/she must sit out the rest of that game and the team may not substitute for that player. Red cards do not carry over to the next game unless they are for violence.
10	Tied Games	During the qualifying round, tied games will remain as a tie. During playoffs, there will be two 5-minute sudden death halves. Should teams still be tied after the first 5-minute half, the second 5-minute half will be played without goalies. Should a tie persists, teams will go to a 3-3 shootout until somebody wins. Penalty takers must come from the field of play first and must alternate between male and female players.
11	Tie Breakers	Ties will be broken in the following order: 1. Head to Head 2. Goals Against 3. Goals Differential
12	Referee	The referee has final say in all matters of the game. Any disputes concerning the score of the game or calls made by an official should be settled during each half.
13	Safety	NO SLIDE TACKLING. Sliding to get/prevent the ball from going out of bounds when no other player is nearby is permitted. The goalkeeper is the only player that may slide in the box (goal area). If the goalkeeper slides outside of his/her area, he/she will receive a yellow card.
