Matches shall be played in conformity with the Rules of FIFA and UYSA, unless otherwise stated herein. The Tournament Committee shall be the final authority in all tournament matters.

Official player cards and rosters are NOT required for Jamboree teams. We do ask that each team create a GotSport account and player roster to be used for check-in if needed.

All teams must check-in at Tournament Headquarters at least 30 minutes prior to the start of their first game to receive check-in items and information.

There will not be assigned match officials, Coaches will act together as match officials and will be allowed on the field when necessary.

All teams will play four games at 20 min each game with 10 min between games and 1 bye. *Subject to change, accumulative game time will remain the same*

All ages will play 4v4 with all field players and no goalkeepers.

Maximum roster size will be 8 players and it is strongly encouraged that all players receive equal playing time

Substitutions are unlimited and are allowed ‘on the fly’ at any point during the match. Player being substituted out must leave the field of play prior to the new player entering the field of play.

‘Running up’ of Scores is STRONGLY discouraged (If your team is winning by more than 4 goals, please have opposing team add another player, or provide restrictions to your players prior to further scoring attempts) Abuse of this or purposeful running up of score may result in your team being asked to leave the event.

As this is a Jamboree recreational event, no official scores or standings will be kept

Every team will receive a set of Official Tournament Pinnies prior to their first games in the tournament. Teams are strongly encouraged to wear these for every game. When the color of the team uniforms conflict, the team listed as “Home” must change to an alternate color.

For all matches, the home team will kick-off and the away team will get to choose their side.

Heading will not be allowed.

Offside rule will not apply, however the Half-line will serve as a build-out line for goal kicks

All restarts after a foul or dead ball [free kicks] will be kicks with a 3yd ‘no-entry’ radius, meaning only players from the kicking team may enter the 3yd area.

No Throw-ins; play will restart with pass-ins or dribble-ins. The ball must be stopped on the sideline prior to playing it in and defenders must allow a 3yd no-entry radius

Goal kicks may be a passed in or dribbled in [no punting] by any field player 3yds from goal. The defending team must retreat behind the half-line. Defenders may enter the build out area once the ball has been played.

Corner kicks apply and may be passed in or dribbled in with a 3yd ‘no-entry’ zone.

The tournament committee will provide Size #3 balls for each match.

Coaches are held strictly accountable for the conduct of their teams, parents and supporters. Abusive behavior toward the coaches, referees(if applicable), opponents, opposing spectators or tournament staff will not be tolerated. Such misconduct and breaches of sportsmanship shall be turned over to the Tournament Committee for possible action.
