Tournament Information
The dates for the 2010 Winton Valley SAY Fall Area Tournament
will be announced after July 20th.
The tournament includes all teams,
irrespective of regular season performance from Wings, Strikers and Kickers levels of play.
Teams are bracketed into competitive levels, and winners of top bracket participants advance to the SAY State Tournament, usually
held the first and second weekends in November.
Given the advent of Inter-play with districts outside of
the Winton Valley area, we anticipate additional teams participating in the
tournament. We look forward to welcoming these new participants to the
event.
The Winton Valley Tournament will also feature a new
location for 2010.
Tournament Volunteering
Reminder
As a result of challenges in past
tournaments with the adherence to the SAY playing time policy, coaches will be
asked to provide a volunteer to act as time keeper for their respective team, to
assure proper / balanced play of their during the game. More details on
the specifics of this policy will be coming from the tournament committee.

Winton Valley SAY Tournament Tie-Breaker Rules
(subject to review prior
to the tournament)
Applicable to Kickers, Strikers and Wings level play
NOTE: If both teams are playing their first tournament
game, steps 1 and 2 do not apply (i.e. go directly to step 3 and use the
Penalty-Kick shoot-out format to determine a winner).
1. If the regulation game ends in a tie, a 5-minute
overtime period will be played. Kick-off order will continue as determined at
the beginning of the game. Teams will switch ends and the team that kicked off
to begin the third quarter will kick-off to begin the overtime period. The team
scoring the first goal in overtime will be the winner ("Golden Goal").
2. If a tie still exists at the end of the overtime
period, another 5-minute overtime period will be initiated. Teams will again
switch ends and the team that kicked off to begin the fourth quarter will
kick-off to begin the second overtime period. The team scoring the first goal in
overtime will be the winner ("Golden Goal").
3. If a tie still exists at the end of the second overtime
period, a Penalty-Kick shoot-out shall be used to determine a winner.
A. Prior to the first shoot-out round a coin toss will be
taken. The winner of the coin toss shall shoot first.
B. Each team will select any five (5) players to kick in
the first shoot-out round.
C. Teams will alternate taking shots until all 5 players
from each team have shot once. The team scoring the most goals will be the
winner.
D. If the score is still tied after the first shoot-out
round, a second round of kicks will be initiated. Five (5) players will be used
only if both teams have five available players. Otherwise the smaller roster
will determine the number of shooters in the second round.
E. Teams will again alternate taking shots until all
available players from each team have shot once. The winner of the coin toss in
step ‘A’ will also again kick first. The team scoring the most goals will be the
winner.
F. If a tie still exists after the second shoot-out round,
each team will select any ten (10) players to participate in any order in a
“sudden victory” shoot-out round.
G. Teams will continue alternating shots
“one-set-at-a-time” until one team scores and the other team does not. Once a
player has participated in a “sudden victory” shoot-out round, that player may
not shoot again until all of the other selected teammates have participated.
H. If a tie still exists after all 10 players from each
team have participated, then repeat steps ‘F’ and ‘G’ again (and again, etc.)
until a winner is determined.
The Tournament Committee reserves the right to adjust
these rules at any time.
