TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE Tournament games will be played at South and East High Schools on Thursday and at South on Friday and Saturday. The reason for using East HS is so we don t have to start as early on Thursday and can keep students in class longer and to assist with travel. Thursday schedules will be determined following the conclusion of the regular season. Game times and sites may be adjusted slightly depending on how the South teams finish, as we will play all South games at SHS. I believe anyone traveling here on Friday could be here in time for a 1 pm start, but if any of you have concerns about this, let me know.

WHSAA RULE WHSAA REGIONAL/STATE SOCCER TIE GAME PROCEDURE When the score is tied at the end of the regulation time, the referee will instruct both teams to return to their respective team boxes. There will be five minutes during which both teams may confer with their coaches. The head referee will instruct both teams as to proper procedure: 1. There shall be two full ten-minute overtime periods (note not sudden victory). a. A coin toss shall be held as in Rule (e). b. At the end of the first ten-minute overtime period, teams shall change ends.

4 2. If the score still remains tied, a representative from the coaching staff of each team, officials, and team captain shall assemble at the halfway line to review the procedure as outlined below: a. The head referee shall choose the goal at which all of the kicks from the penalty line shall be taken. b. Each coach will select and identify to the officials any five players, including the goalkeeper, on or off the field (except those who may have been disqualified) to take the kicks. c. A coin toss shall be held as in Rule (e). The team winning the coin toss shall have the choice of kicking first or second. d. Teams will alternate kickers. There is no follow-up on the kick. e. The defending team may change the goal keeper prior to each penalty kick. f. Following five kicks for each team, the team scoring on the greatest number of these kicks shall be declared the winner. g. Add one goal to the winning team score and credit the team with a victory. An asterisk (*) may be placed by the team advancing to indicate the advancement was the result of a tie-breaker system. 3. If the score remains tied after each team has had five kicks: a. Each coach will select five different players than the first five who already kicked to take the kicks in a sudden victory situation, wherein, if one team scores and the other team does not score, the game is ended without more kicks being taken. b. If the score remains tied, continue the sudden victory kicks with the coach selecting any five players other than the previous five to take the next set of alternating kicks. If a tie still remains, repeat 3-a. WHSAA RULE CONFERENCE STANDINGS The following criteria will be used to determine conference standings: a. 3 points will be given for each win, 1 point for each tie, and 0 points for each loss in division play. 1 point will be given for a team that loses in overtime. b. If two teams tie, the team with the better head to head record is declared the winner. If a tie still exists, compare the records of the tied teams against the record of the highest-ranking non-tied team. Continue through the Division Standings until the tie is broken. If a tie still exists, compare the tied teams records against nondivision opponents. This criteria is to be used only if the site of the competition was at home for all tied teams or at the common opponent s home site for all tied teams. If a tie still exists, the team with the fewest goals allowed during divisional play will gain the advantage. Should the tie remain after this consideration, the WHSAA Commissioner will flip a coin. c. If three teams tie in the league standings and one did not lose to the other two teams, it would be given the advantage. If one team lost to both of the other teams involved, it would lose the advantage. At this point, apply the tie breaking procedures outlined in b above. d. If any other multiple tie exists, the WHSAA Commissioner will resolve the conflict.
