Overtime procedures

If a playoff game ends in a tie:

TWO Ten Minute overtime periods in their entirety (Coin toss required) NO GOLDEN GOAL

If a team is winning at the end of the two ten minute overtime THE GAME IS OVER

If at the end of the two ten minutes overtime the game is still tied:

TWO Five Minute overtime periods with sudden death.
(Coin toss required)

If one team scores anytime during the two five minute periods GAME IS OVER

If neither team manages to score after the completion of the second five minute period than the game will be decided by kicks from the spot
(Another coin toss required)

      Kicks from the spot

USE FIFA laws when administering spot kicks with the Exception:

Any player on the roster may participate in the spot kicks provided they were not ejected from the match

Eleven and only eleven players participate in spot kicks – there is no player reduction

In addition, only players participating in the kicks are allowed in the center circle –no coaches

All referees should be recording during kicks.

For more information see page 85 in your handbook!

The Fourth referee is in control of the two technical areas

Manage Coaches

Makes sure that all substitute players are seated at all times

Makes sure that coaches are in their technical areas

Make sure all balls are in bags. Only game balls can be out (Do not have balls around benches and do not allow players to warm up with balls during the game)

Records Everything. At minimum record ALL Yellow Cards, Red Cards, Scores, and Serious injuries. You do not need a clip board; it is recommended that you use your regular referee notebook

Can be dressed in matching referee uniform as the remainder of the crew or in a black jacket
