The Tournament Breakdown
  • The Tournament will run from 09.00 to 16.00
  • Teams will requested to supply an umpire for the game after they play. A youth umpire would be preferable. An invitation has been extended to the Youth Umpires who have been part of the Youth Umpiring Coaching Scheme organised by Judy Miller.
  • The Tournament will start at 09.00 sharp.
  • Each match will be 10 minutes each way with a 3 minute half-time break to be monitored by the umpires.
  • Each Team will start with 8 players on a 3 / 5 mixed ratio.
  • The Team squads will be no more than 12 players.
  • The positions within the sections will be decided on the following:
         Win - 3pts : Draw - 1pt : Loss - 0 pts
        If Teams are on the same points then the decision will be made
        on Goal Difference then Goals For. Hopefully this will suffice and
        we will not have to toss a coin!!
  • In the event of a colour clash the 1st named Team will change unless by agreement between Teams.
