U10s: Girls-only and Boys/Mixed teams
U16s: Ability Counts
Open Age: Ability Counts
Non-competitive - Round Robin
We have a player centred, non-competitive ethos. As such, there will be no referees officiating the matches. We kindly request that coaches share this responsibility between them to ensure fair play and we also encourage coaches to be mindful of matches becoming one-sided. If such a situation arises, we encourage the sharing of players to equalise the game and create an enjoyable experience for all participants.
Each team will play each other once.
Day 2 - cOMPETITIVE
On the second day of Fest4All, the following teams will engage in competitive 6v6 games arranged in a mini-tournament format:
U12s: Girls-only and Boys/Mixed teams
U14s: Girls-only and Boys/Mixed teams
Each game will have a referee and will be played without interruption for a duration of 10 minutes.
The mini-tournament will comprise a group stage followed by a knockout stage:
The top two teams from each group will advance to the Semi-Finals. The winners of the Semi-Finals will then proceed to the Trophy finals and the semi final losing teams will play in a 3rd place playoff final (without a trophy).
The two teams that finish at the bottom of each group will compete in a playoff game. The winners of this game will contend for 5th place (without a trophy), while the two losing teams from the playoffs will participate in a 7th place playoff (without a trophy).
