RR Soccer Christmas Tournament Team Registration

RR SOCCER CHRISTMAS TOURNAMENT Official Rules & Regulations Host / Organizer: RR Soccer Venue: Crossbar Denton (Denton, TX) Format: 12-Team Adult (18+) 7v7 Competition 1. MATCH FORMAT & TIMING Match Duration: Each match consists of two 10-minute halves (20 minutes total running clock) separated by a 30-second halftime interval. Schedule & Field Transitions: There is a strict 5-minute maximum transition window between scheduled matches. Strict Kickoff Policy: The match clock will start promptly at the scheduled kickoff time regardless of whether teams are fully assembled or on the pitch. Forfeits & No-Shows: Any team failing to field the minimum required players at kickoff—or failing to appear for their scheduled match—will incur an automatic forfeit and immediate tournament disqualification without refund. 2. GAMEPLAY & FIELD RULES (7V7) No Offsides: The offside rule is not in effect for any match during the tournament. Slide Tackling: Clean slide tackling is permitted, provided the tackle is controlled, wins the ball cleanly, and does not endanger the safety of an opponent. Reckless, late, or two-footed slide tackles will be penalized with a direct free kick and disciplinary carding. Kickoffs, Restarts & Out-of-Bounds: Standard 7v7 small-sided rules apply (kick-ins or throw-ins per facility standards; defenders must give 5 yards on all free kicks and restarts). Goalkeeper Distribution: Goalkeepers may distribute the ball via throw, roll, or pass from the ground. (Note: Punting or drop-kicking is prohibited if restricted by Crossbar Denton house rules). 3. TIEBREAKER PROCEDURE (SUDDEN-DEATH PENALTIES) Knockout / Elimination Matches: If a match ends in a draw at the expiration of regulation time, the winner will be decided immediately via a Sudden-Death Penalty Shootout. Shootout Format: 1. Each team selects one (1) shooter per round. 2. Both teams take one penalty kick in the first round. If both teams score or both teams miss, the shootout continues round-by-round with new shooters until one team scores and the other misses in the same round. 3. No player may kick a second time until every eligible player on the field at the end of regulation has taken a penalty kick. 4. DISCIPLINARY CODE & SPORTSMANSHIP Zero-Tolerance Policy: RR Soccer maintains strict standards against dangerous play, fighting, and referee abuse to ensure a safe, competitive environment for all participants. Yellow Card Offenses (Cautions): • Reckless challenges, hard fouls, or uncontrolled slide tackles. • Dissent, verbal insults, or unsporting behavior directed toward referees, tournament staff, or opposing players. Red Card Offenses (Send-Offs): • Receiving two (2) yellow cards in the same match. • Serious foul play, violent conduct, or any reckless challenge (including dangerous slide tackles) that endangers the physical safety of another player. • Consequences: A player issued a red card is ejected from the current match immediately, their team must play short-handed for the remainder of that match, and the player is automatically suspended for the team's next scheduled game (subject to further review by tournament organizers). Zero-Tolerance Fighting Policy: Any physical altercation, fighting, striking, or aggressive confrontation on or off the field will result in immediate expulsion of the individuals involved and instant disqualification of the entire team from the tournament, with no refund. 5. ROSTERS, EQUIPMENT & AUTHORITY Age Requirement: All participants must be 18 years of age or older and must have a signed RR Soccer Participant Waiver on file prior to stepping onto the field. Valid government-issued photo ID must be available upon request for age verification. Mandatory Gear: All players must wear matching team jerseys/shirts, athletic shorts/pants, shin guards (completely covered by socks), and turf shoes or indoor flats (metal cleats are strictly prohibited at Crossbar Denton). Referees & Tournament Authority: All referee decisions on the field are final. RR Soccer reserves the right to interpret, modify, or enforce any rule in the best interest of fairness, safety, and tournament schedule integrity.
