RUBBISH:
Each team will be given a bin bag, which we ask you to put any rubbish in and take it away with you
when you leave the tournament.

COLOUR CLASHES:
In the event of the referee considering the teams’ colours being too similar, the away team will be
asked to wear either bibs or an away shirt (if your team is lucky enough to have one). Please ensure
you bring your own bibs or change shirt with you.

REFEREES:
Lincs FA referees will officiate at 11-a-side and 9-a-side games. The manager of a non-playing Mini
Kickers / U6 and Under 8s team is obliged to referee the 5-a-side match or 7v7 match in which their
team is not playing.

LINESMAN / REFEREES ASSISTANT:
As per Mid Lincs rules, each playing team is required to provide a Referee’s Assistant. We
respectfully ask that they do not coach during the matches.

RESPECT:
This is a developmental tournament, designed to help the players become accustomed to playing a
new format of football. Breaches of the FA’s RESPECT guidelines will not be tolerated. Any player,
manager or spectator breaching the guidelines will result in their team being disqualified from the
tournament.

KICK OFF TIMES:
It is vital that matches kick off on time. Please ensure your team is ready to play and by the side of
your pitch at least 10 minutes before kick off. Should your team not be on the pitch and ready to kick
off on time, you will be deducted 2 points.
Results
The referee will record the result of competitive fixtures (9v9 and 11v11) and relay them to the
tournament organisers who will update the scores and league table. No results will be recorded for
5v5 and 7v7 development games.
Points
In the competitive games (11v11 and 9v9): 3 points will be awarded for a win, 1 point for a draw. In
the event of a tie, goal difference, then goals scored and then the result in the fixture against the tied
team will be used to decide league positions. In the event of a tie still remaining for first place after
these methods, a penalty shoot-out will be staged comprising five spot kicks (ABBA method) followed
by sudden death.
After the group stage of the 11v11 and 9v9 leagues, a play off final will take place between the teams
finishing first and second, the winner of which, will win the tournament.

FIRST AID:
As per normal Mid Lincs rules, each team is responsible for providing its own First Aider and for
knowing each players’ individual needs, allergies and medical conditions. Please bring your own First
Aid Kit.
