Balboa Park AYSO 2008 Playoffs – Rules and Tie Breaker Format

Playoff Rules: ¾ minimum play time is required. No player may play 4 quarters unless all players have played 3 quarters. AR’s are requested to help in monitoring this. There are no goalkeeper playtime restrictions during playoffs. Overtime periods have no restrictions regarding playtime.

Player maximum/minimum numbers on the field: U10 8/5; U12 9/6; U14 11/7

The following format is to be used for games that may not end in a tie:
For games that require a winner and which end regulation play (regulation game length is 2x24 minutes for U10, 2x25 for U12 and 2x30 for U14) in a tie, the following rules will apply:

U10 Assistant Referee requirements are very specific and the pool play system is easily amenable to adjustment for not fullfilling the AR requirements using point adjustments.

We have tried to have the general referee (Center Ref) performance requirement encouraged positively. If each team has at least one referee, there is generally enough interest in helping out, in refereeing for fun or in Turkey Tournament to staff the park. Negative consequences are kept as a backup and can be imposed as needed if this in not working.

It is our hope not to have to use them.

We strive to improve the system each season.
