Team's Fee: RM 120 per team

Sportsmanship: Good sportsmanship is to prevail at all times. Team's captains will be held responsible for the conduct of themselves, their players and supporters.

Number of Players: Five is the maximum number of players on a team: three field players and two substitutes. (A team must have a minimum of 2 field players). There are no goalkeepers in 3v3.

Player Registration: All players (male and 15 years of age above) must be registered with the carnival before or on the closing date 30th November 2010. There will be a draw in ascertaining the team's placement and kickoff time. The date of the draw is on 5th December 2010. Teams cannot add or change players after their first game has been started. Tournament officials have the right to demand proof of age for any player included on the roster.

Uniforms/Protective Casts: All players must wear jerseys/shirts during play and each team must bring both a light and dark colored jersey/shirt. If both teams are wearing the same color, a coin flip in pool play will determine which team must change. In playoffs, the higher seed will have the option. The Tournament Director and/or Referee Assignor must approve players wearing protective casts. Hard casts will not be allowed. No jewelry will be allowed, including earrings of any type, rope necklaces and bracelets. The only exception will be players wearing medical bracelets.

Field Dimensions: The playing field is 27ft by 18ft.

Goal Scoring: A goal may only be scored from a touch (offensive or defensive) within the team’s offensive half of the field. The ball must be completely on the offensive half of the field, and cannot be touching the mid-line (Example: kick-off). If a player in their defensive half kicks the ball across the midline and the ball hits another player (offensive or defensive) and the ball goes in the goal, a goal will be awarded. If a ball is kicked from the defensive half and is not touched before the ball rests in the goal, a goal kick is awarded to the defensive team.

Game Duration: The game shall consist of two 4-minute halves separated by a one minute halftime period. Games tied after regulation play shall end in a tie, except in the playoffs. There are no timeouts and the Game Clock does not stop in 3v3 games. The referee has the official time on the field and holds the right to take necessary action if he feels that a team is delaying the game.

Forfeits: Teams are given five minutes before a forfeit is issued by the referee. All forfeits must be approved by the Tournament Director before the game is considered an official forfeit. The Tournament Director has the option to replay a forfeited game if deemed necessary.

Substitution: Substitutions will be made on the fly!

Delay of Game: Any player may be cautioned with a yellow card if it is deemed by the referee that the player is
intentionally wasting time .e.g.: if a player intentionally kicks the ball long distances away from the playing field in
order to waste time.

Playoff Overtime: There is no playoff overtime, if no team has scored in the official playoff time, the winner shall be decided in penalty shootouts with a coin toss to decide team kicking order. The three players from each team remaining on the field at the end of playoff period will be the only players to kick for their team. The remaining three field players will rotate, alternating teams with each kick. The first round of shootouts will consist of each player kicking once (round of 3 players shooting per team).

The penalty kicks will be taken from midfield. The team with the most goals after the first round will be considered the winner. If the score remains tied after the first round of penalty kicks, the same 3 players will alternate in the same order in a sudden death penalty kick format until one team scores unanswered. If one team has received a red card during the game and finishes with 2 players on the field, a remaining roster player (other than the red carded player) must be chosen to kick in the rotation of penalty kicks. If the red-carded player is the last remaining roster player, one of the two field players must kick twice.

No Offsides in 3v3 Soccer!

No Slide Tackling: If a player is sliding, no contact is allowed. If a player slides and contact is initiated, a free kick shall be awarded. This does not prevent players from sliding to stop/intercept a ball where contact is not initiated during the slide. Example: a player may slide to save a ball from going out-of-bounds.

Hand Ball Clarification: Deliberate handling of the ball that denies a team of an obvious goal-scoring opportunity will result in the following: (1) A penalty kick (at the discretion of the referee) (2) A yellow or red card given to the player committing the hand ball (at the discretion of the referee).

Cautioned Players (Yellow Card): Players that receive two yellow cards in one game will result in a red card. (Please see red card rule). Any player accumulating three yellow cards during a tournament will automatically be
suspended for their next game (no exceptions).

Player Ejection (Red Card): Referees have the right to eject a player or coach from the game for continual disobedience or as a result of an incident that warrants sending off. The team may then continue with their remaining
two, three or four players, however, if the player receiving the red card was on the field of play, the team must complete the entire game a player short.

The player receiving the red card will automatically be suspended for their
next game (no exceptions). Players or coaches that are red carded must leave the immediate playing area, including the fan and team areas. If the player delays or refuses to leave, the game will be forfeited in favor of opposing team (regardless of the score at the time of the incident).

** If players are red carded for fighting, they will be ejected from the tournament and are subject to removal from the facility for the duration of the event.

Kick Off: May be taken in any direction. You cannot score directly from a kick off (ball must be 100% over the mid-line to be considered on the offensive half of the field).

Kick-Ins: The ball shall be kicked into play from the sideline instead of thrown in. The ball is considered in play Penalty Kicks: Shall be awarded if, in the referee’s opinion, a scoring opportunity was nullified by an infraction (the infraction does not automatically result in a red card). Penalty kicks are direct kicks taken from the center of the mid-line with all players (on both teams) behind the mid-line. Penalty kicks are dead ball infractions. If a goal is not scored, the defense obtains possession with a goal kick.

Scoring (In Bracket Play): Games will be scored according to the following: 3 points for a win; 1 point for a tie; 0 points for a loss. A forfeited game is scored as a 6-0 win for the team that is present. Referees will provide the winning team a scorecard, which must be turned into the Headquarters immediately following the game!

Protests: Protests are strongly discouraged as this is a friendly tournament. Team wishing to protest must do so to the Referee Supervisor or Tournament Director before the end of the game in question or 10 minutes after the end of the game. A deposit of RM2000 should be placed along with a formal written protest where the deposit would be forfeited should the protest failed and returned should the protest prevailed. The formal protest must be made from the captain of the team protesting.
