Maryland Sports Arena Valentines Tournament Rules

THE Maryland Sports Arena & Harrisburg Heat ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INJURIES, REGARDLESS OF HOW SUSTAINED WHICH A PLAYER RECEIVES. THE Maryland Sports Arena ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT OF ANY PLAYER OR FOR PAYMENT OF MEDICAL BILLS.

Each team's tournament roster/liability waiver form must be fully completed and submitted before the beginning of the first game of the tournament. Collect all forms and submit to tournament directors or concession stand. These forms are your roster. Nothing else is required. Youth Form is located here http://marylandsportsarena.com/waiver.pdf . Adult form is located here http://marylandsportsarena.com/2024adultwaiver.pdf Individual waivers will also be available at concession stand. Teams playing at the Maryland Sports Arena may use their current online roster. If you add players for the tournament, submit an individual player liability waiver to the concession stand prior to your game for that player. Players may not play on more than one team in the same age tournament. Ages are based on 2024/25 US Soccer Age Chart http://marylandsportsarena.com/agecutoff.htm. Please make sure your team is registered in the correct age group. Teams U12 and younger play with 7 players and use a size 4 ball. Teams U13 and older, play with 6 players and use a size 5 ball. No slide tackling is allowed in U14 and younger tournaments. Teams may have a maximum of 2 coaches on the player s bench. If you need additional coaches, permission may be granted by tournament directors. Players not dressed to play are not allowed on the bench without permission of tournament directors. All youth teams must have an adult coach (i.e. a parent or someone of similar age) on their bench during all games. You may carry up to 18 players on your roster.

All rules are those of the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) unless amended by the Maryland Sports Arena. Gum chewing or chewing of other similar type of products will result in a 2 minute penalty. Spitting on the field is a 2-minute penalty. The games are 24 minutes with no timeouts. Game time is forfeit time. Substitutions are unlimited. Maximum 15 seconds allowed for guaranteed substitutions (ceiling, side or rear netting out of bounds.) Fouls are not guaranteed substitutions. Teams may substitute "on the fly" for fouls. Ball must be played within five seconds on foul situations. Two whistles for out of bounds, one whistle for fouls. No guaranteed substitutions will be allowed during the last 2 minutes of each game. Goalkeepers may not handle balls which are intentionally played to them by a teammate except for head balls or other balls played above the knee. No punting or drop kicking is allowed by the goalkeeper except for u8, u9 and u10 tournaments. For youth tournaments, ages u14 and younger with the exception of the age groups previously mentioned, when the goalkeeper has possession, the ball may only be distributed by throwing. For ages u15 and up, the goalkeeper may also roll the ball to his/her feet as an alternative to throwing, however, once the keeper places the ball on the ground, it is no longer his/her possession and may be challenged by an opposing player. Again, no drop kicking or punting will be allowed except for u8, u9 and u10 tournaments.. Opposing player must be 10 feet from the ball in dead ball situations. Outstretched legs into the 10 feet are considered encroachment and may result in a two-minute penalty. Be prepared to play when entering field. No coaches meetings on the field after the game. Please use other locations inside the building and leave the field immediately when your game has finished. At times, the tournaments run early. Your team MUST be at the facility at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled game. There is no warmup time on the field. Be prepared to play when you enter the field. A player wearing a plaster cast will not be allowed to play. Players may use flat soled soccer or tennis type shoe, or turf shoes on the field. No cleats are allowed on the playing surface. Shin guards are mandatory for all youth players. The home team is responsible for uniform change in case of conflict.

Dissent towards officials will not be tolerated from players, coaches, or spectators. Continued dissent may result in expulsion. Taunting is a 2-minute penalty. Teams are responsible for the behavior of their fans. Any player ejected before, during or after a game will be automatically suspended for 2 games. In addition, all red cards are reviewed with the possibility of a tournament suspension. A red card is a 5-minute un-releasable penalty. Any teams, players and coaches who threaten officials will be banned from the facility. Simultaneous penalties are un-releasable. A referee's decision cannot be protested. Teams ejected from the tournament do not receive refunds. Teams wishing to protest ineligible players must notify the referee prior to the end of the game regarding the player being protested. Referee will note the players being protested by asking the opposing coach the name of the players. Referee will then record player name and birthday and give to tournament directors. If your roster is not completed, you cannot protest players. If your player is protested and you have not completed your roster, you forfeit. Please do not shout disparaging remarks at other players or coaches. Never tell your players to foul an opponent. If your game becomes physical, or you have a player out of control, it is your responsibility as a coach to correct your player. For major infractions in the penalty box, penalty kicks are awarded. Penalty kicks are taken from the first dot outside the penalty box. All other players must be behind the 2^nd dot outside the penalty area when the penalty kick is taken. The ball is live once the kick is taken. Shootouts have been eliminated from tournament play.

For 4, 6 & some 8 team tournaments, 3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie. In case of a tie for tournament advancement the following tie breaker will apply: 1. head-to-head competition, 2. goal differential head-to-head, 3. total goal differential (maximum allowed is 7 goals per game), 4^th, least number of goals allowed. If still tied, a coin flip will decide who advances. For must win games, best of 3 alternating penalty kicks. If still tied 1v1 until there is a winner. A maximum of 7 goals is allowed in the goal differential and most goals scored calculation. for 5, 9 and some 8 team tournaments, 7 points for a win, 3 points for a tie, 1 point for each goal scored (max 7), 3 points for a shutout.
