Age Groups: Determined by age as of July 31, 2007. See Format below and the Tournament Rules for further information.
Rules: Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) Laws of the Games apply, except as modified in order to benefit the youth players by the Utah Summer Games Soccer Committee. Each team is expected to print and review the Complete Soccer Tournament Rules.
Equipment and Clothing: Appropriate and approved soccer attire is required (see FIFA Law IV). Each player is required to have an alternate color jersey and the home team is required to change color in case of color conflict.
Format: Teams will play a minimum of three games. Teams will be eliminated in pool play with the top teams (based on points earned) from each division qualifying for the semifinals and finals. Most two-year age divisions will be split into sub-divisions based on the age and relative ability of teams. The Soccer Committee expends considerable effort to assign teams to subdivisions in as fair a manner as possible based on information available. Except in very rare circumstances, requests for changes in sub-divisions will not be considered. The final decision on assigning teams to divisions and sub-divisions rests with the Soccer Committee. The Soccer Committee reserves the right to bracket same age group and gender teams as necessary to fill brackets.
Each division or sub-division will have its own semifinal and final matches. Depending on the number or teams, some divisions or sub-divisions may not have semifinal matches or may have the third game provided through a semifinal game or a game between third place finishers in flights.
Game Schedules: It is anticipated that game schedules will be posted to this web site by May 31, 2008. Teams are responsible for monitoring this site for notices of schedule changes occurring prior to the beginning of the tournament. Due to the large number of teams that register and games that are scheduled, requests for multiple team scheduling conflicts can not be accommodated.
Soccer Headquarters and Results: Soccer headquarters is in a classroom at the southeast corner of Canyon View High School. Results are posted on the windows at the southeast corner of Canyon View High School as they are received from the game officials. Wednesday evening results will not be posted until Thursday morning. Teams are responsible for monitoring the posted scores and schedules to be aware of assignments for semi-final and medal games, tie-breaker requirements, and any schedule changes. Results will be posted on the Summer Games web site following the tournament.
Medals Ceremony: Gold, silver and bronze medals are awarded in each bracket (i.e. Girls U14 Red). Immediately following the medal games, the top three teams in each bracket should proceed to the south end of the SUU Coliseum to receive their medals.
