for more details on venue etc and for directions please visit there website at
www.powerleague.co.uk/5-A-Side/center.asp?CID=CAR the tournament will be on a league basis with all 4 teams playing each other once which means each team will play 3 matches.
teams will recieve 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a defeat.
if at the end of the tournament 2 teams have the same amount of points at the top of the table then the result between the 2 teams will decide the winner, if still level then goal difference will decide and then if still level goals scored will decide the winner.
if still level we have a ruck "royal rumble" style with the last person standings team being declared the winner!
each match will be 16 minutes long and will be a straight one half.
each team must only have 6 players on the pitch at any one time.
substitutions will be roll on roll off but must only be made when the ball is dead and the referee must be made aware of changes.
the ball must be kept under head height at all times, under head height is defined as under the referees height. failure to do so is punished by a free kick to the opposition
all free kicks are direct and any wall must be at least 6 feet away
goalkeepers must only roll out the ball underarm, no overarm throw or kicking out.
no players are allowed in either penalty area and neither goalkeeper is allowed out of there area.
if an attacker deliberatly goes in the area its punished with a free kick to the defending side which is taken by the goalkeeper by way of a roll out.
if a defender deliberatly goes in his own area it is punished by an award of a penalty to the opposition.
all free kicks are direct and any wall must be at least 6 feet away.
matches will be start with a drop ball and restarts after a goal will be via a centre.
no slide tackles allowed
players must only wear trainers or astro turf trainers, no boots moulded or otherwise.
shinpads are recommended but not compulsary as are cricket boxes (a good idea when playing the ladies team guys)
