Official tour Rules & Regulations

(FIFA Laws of the Game apply unless specifically modified below.)

1. Tournament Rules

Scoring:
- Goals cannot be scored from a team’s own half; a goal scored from a team’s own half will result in an opponent’s goal kick.
Goal Box Rules:
- No player may touch the ball inside the goal box, though players may move through it.
- Offensive contact in the goal box results in a goal kick for the opponent.
- Defensive contact in the goal box results in an automatic goal for the attacking team.
General Play:
- Teams must supply game balls. The designated home team is responsible for providing the official match ball.
- No offsides.
- No slide tackling. Sliding without another player nearby is permitted.
- A five-yard rule applies on all dead ball situations. If the ball is placed closer than 5 yards to the goal, it must be moved back.
- Balls played out of bounds may be kicked in or dribbled in (no throw-ins). The ball must come to a complete stop before restarting play.
- Goal kicks are taken from any point on the end line, outside the goal box area.
- A 10-goal mercy rule applies in the second half only.

Yellow Card: The player who committed the foul must be substituted immediately. The player may re-enter the game at the next eligible substitution opportunity.
Red Card: The player who receives a red card will be removed for the remainder of the current game and is suspended from the team’s next match.
Team Format: Following a red card, the team will continue play with three players on the field — no numerical disadvantage will apply.
The Tournament Director reserves the right to suspend or dismiss any player or bench personnel from the remainder of the tournament if necessary.
