Town and Country 2021 Spring Cup

Tournament Results

Partial Bracket Tie Breaker Process

For brackets with a final playoff game the two teams that had advanced to the finals are 1st and 2nd place and the process of determining the winner is:

• If the two teams had previously played head to head in the tournament and one team won then that team is 1st place and the losing team is 2nd place. (denoted: Finals/Head to Head below)

  • If a winner is still not determined then the tie-breaker process for a group stage bracket is used to break the tie

• If the two teams had not previously played then the tie is broken by accumulated tournament points for all games played in the tournament: group play + semi-final games. (denoted: Finals/Points plus Semi-final Points)

  • If a winner is still not determined then the tie-breaker process for a group stage bracket is used to break the tie

For brackets that did not play a final and only played group games the process of determining the winner is:

• If all teams in the bracket played the same number of games then points accumulated determine the winner (denoted: Straight Points)

• If teams in the bracket played a different number of games then the average number of points per game for each team is calculated by dividing the points accumulated by the number of games played and the teams are re-ranked based on this calculation. (denoted: Average Points Per Game)

  1. Team Roster: we will keep this on file. This should be an official roster from your team's association (STYSA, EDDOA, NTYSA, WDDOA, etc). It should have correct jersey numbers on it and any guest players added and labelled as GUEST.

  2. Player Cards: We use virtual cards - you do not need to be separately uploaded player cards BUT if you have physical cards you should have in your possession at all games at the event.

• Contact Josh Brown, Tournament Director, with any questions.

If you are interested in playing in the tournament but not quite ready to fully register then submit your team to the Interested Team List Here:

Interested Team Sign Up

Entering you team here lets other teams know who's interested and to gauge the competition level of all interested teams.

ID Cards

All Coaches and all players must have approved ID cards from the team’s association - virtual cards are acceptable but must include a picture. Any exceptions to the player card requirement must be approved by the tournament director.

Players

A player can play with up to two teams as long as the second team is an older age group than the player's primary team and he/she must be included on the roster of the second team and noted that the primary team is in the event. A player who is rostered to a U11 select team cannot play down to the U10 7v7 division. Guest players can only play in their division or age group or in a higher age group. The Level of competition for each division is set as the highest level of any team that is registered for that division - guest players can be utilized from this level and below but not from a higher level. For example, if the highest level team registered for U11B is a S2 team then a D2 team in U11B can guest pass S2 players, but they cannot guest pass D1 players because the highest level team in U11B is S2. To check on level of teams available in a bracket contact the tournament director.

Coaches/Rosters/Size of Teams

Each team’s final, roster signed by their association registrar (including guest players written in on the bottom) must be verified at check-in and be available at each game. A max of 3 coaches and 1 manager will be allowed on the roster and on the sideline. A guess coach not listed on the roster may be used if approved by the tournament director and only in the event of a team/coaching conflict or other conflict outside of ejection from a game. If the coach/s listed on the roster is removed from the game by the referee either the manager becomes the coach or the game is completed at that point.

• Maximum roster size for 7v7 is twelve (12) players. Each team is allowed Three(3) guest players.

• Maximum roster size for 9v9 is sixteen (16) players. Each team is allowed Three (3) guest players.

• Maximum roster size for 11v11 is eighteen (18) players. Each team is allowed Four (4) guest players.

Age Brackets/Competitive Levels/Number of Games

• U9 to U10 will play 7 versus 7 format

• U11 to 12 will play 9 versus 9 format

• U13 and up will play 11 versus 11 format

Game times maybe adjusted depending on tournament conditions.

Single age brackets and formats will be formed if the number of accepted applicants supports this grouping. If it is not possible to group teams into individual age brackets, age groups may be combined.

We will offer at least two competitive levels for each age group if the number of applicants supports this grouping. Teams will be asked to choose their competitive level based on their fall season record, the experience level of their players and the ages of the players on their teams. Bracket assignment is ultimately the decision of the tournament director.

Each team is guaranteed to play at least three (3) games. Depending on the number of teams in the age group bracket, only the top scoring teams will advance to the finals.

All CAYSA area teams must be prepared to play Friday night by 6pm. All out of town teams must be prepared to play at 8 am Saturday morning.
