The rules
- Easy tackling only! Using default tackling will give a "yellow card" warning; do this a 2nd time during the tournament a second "yellow card" warning will be issued, and a 1 goal penalty will be assessed in the match. If "hard" tackling is used, it counts as a "Straight red card". If a second "red card" is received during the tournament, it amounts to a 2 goal penalty and so on.
- No more than 2 players aged 22 or more may start a match. A 3rd such player may be subbed on after half time (45') but no more than 3 may play in a match at any given time*. The first additional overage player that is used will result in a 2 goal penalty** and a warning. After that, using additional overage players will result in forfeiture of the match and a "red card" that may jeopardize the manager's ability to join future friendly tournaments. You are responsible for checking your opponent's lineup. Report infractions by posting in this thread.
- Matches are held in the larger stadium of the two competitors. If there is no difference in stadium size, then the one with higher quality gets the match. if the stadiums are the same size and quality, then it will be randomly assigned. If a match is played in the smaller stadium due to error, a "yellow card" warning will be issued.
- During knockout rounds, a draw counts as a loss for the team with higher club rating (i.e. more established teams are expected to win)
- If you accept a friendly match with a club other than your assigned competitor, or fail to arrange/accept a friendly invitation, then it counts as a forfeit (loss) with a 3 goal penalty**, and a "red card" issued to the team failing to arrange the match in a timely manner. Teams can accept the forfeit as early as 11 hours before match start time (8.5 hrs prior to tactics timeout) by posting their situation in the thread any time after this deadline so they may arrange an alternate friendly match, so make your friendly arrangements EARLY. If nothing is heard from you by 2.5 hrs prior to match start time, the it is assumed you have forfeited the match.
-Accumulating 2 "red cards" or 5 "yellow cards" through the duration of a tournament will result in responsible club being DISQUALIFIED and not being approved for the following season's friendly tournament. Also any team that unilaterally withdraws from the tournament will jeopardize their ability to join other friendly tournaments/mini-leagues in the upcoming season!

* automatic substitutions made due to injury do NOT count toward this.
** goal penalties are accrued to goals scored tally as negative goals (goals are not awarded to opponent for YC infractions while 1 goal is awarded for RC infractions), which may result in a negative GS

Tiebreakers for teams level on points:
1.   Head to Head result
2.   Goal Difference
3.   Goals scored
4.   Club Rating (lowest advances)

[jemseed]

I accidentally played 1 too many overage players in MotS match with Highbury so subtract 2 goals from my tally. I won't make the same mistake again

Warnings issued:
Manchester of the South - YC
New Breed FC - RC
Penguin - RC

Remember, if you have attempted to arrange your scheduled match without response, you can force them to forfeit by reporting it here any time after 8.5 hours prior to match start time. If no report is made, I can only assume it is a double forfeit, as happened today. Also, double check your players' ages! 

[perrito]

Thanks Brian, hey  Guys  how do you do in the first match of cup?

[jemseed]

I send a friendly request to Thegunner FC yesterday and the manager still has not accepted. Now there is 1 hour left before match timeout, so this is a forfeit according to rules?
 
Now I will try to find a new friendly match.

[Brian Clough]

ohhhhh don't forget friendly is on wednesday!!!!

due to time difference, that is Tuesday night for USA managers for matches arranged by USA managers; next match is Friday night for matches arranged by USA managers. Matches held in Bermuda or Bolivia stadiums (when these managers arrange the matches) are much later
