| FIVE-A-SIDE RULES
SYSTEM: 1) There will be two groups of three teams. Each team will play the other teams in their group twice. 2) Each game will last EIGHT minutes. 3) A win is worth THREE points, a draw ONE point, a defeat NO points. 4) If two teams are level on points, we decide positions according to: 1st) Goal difference. 2nd) Goals scored. 3rd) Penalty shootout. 5) The winner of each group will play the runner-up of the other group in the Semi-Finals. Each Semi-Final will last TEN minutes. 6) The winners of the Semi-Finals will meet in the Grand Final. The Grand Final will be played over TWO HALVES OF EIGHT MINUTES EACH. 7) If the Grand Final or Semi-Finals end in a draw, there will be a penalty shoot-out. IMPORTANT RULES: 1) The goalkeeper may not leave the penalty area (the three-point arc) or handle the ball outside the area. If this happens, a free-kick will be awarded to the attacking team. 2) If the ball goes over the green dotted side-line, the other team will restart the game with a kick in. 3) If the attacking team plays the ball over the goal-line, the goalkeeper gets possession. 4) If the defending team plays the ball over the goal-line, the attacking team will take a corner. 5) All free kicks are direct. The opposing players must stand three metres from the kicker. Kick-offs, kick-ins and corner kicks are not direct. 6) Any foul inside the penalty area will be punished with a penalty kick. 7) Teams may substitute players at any time; however, the player going off must leave the pitch before the replacement comes on. If this does not happen, the referee may decide to punish the team with a free-kick where the player entered the pitch. |
