Tournament
Format:
|
 |
ALL
teams are a part of the tournament, regardless of regular season results. |
 |
This is a 'seeded' tournament. That is, each
team's position as of the seeding date, which is approximately
January 29th,
is used to assign them to groups. The intent is balance each group
with the same quantity of stronger and weaker teams,
while giving those teams with a better record some advantages. |
 |
The
tournament is a 'round-robin' format. The first round for
most teams
is 3 or 4 games, playing each team in its group once. At the end of
the first round, the top two (or in a few cases three) teams in each group will
advance to the second round (or directly to the 'Soccer Bowl' games for
smaller groups). |
 |
Games
may end in ties in all matches except the 'Soccer Bowl' finals on March 2.
Advancement and position within group is determined by points
from the number of wins/ties and possibly by the number of goals scored,
subject to a maximum. Complete rules are provided to each coach. |
 |
Medals
are awarded to the top four finishers in each group. Thus everyone
who plays on March 2 will receive a medal. |
