Tournament Rules Night
General
A team consists of a maximum of 9 players (4 outfield players and 1 goalkeeper), whereby the goalkeeper may also be used as an outfield player and vice versa.
If a team has more than 4 outfield players on the field for >5 seconds, the team takes a 2 minute team penalty and plays for 2 minutes with only 3 players.
If a team shows up to a game too late or not at all, the match is recorded as 3:0 for the opponent!
