In terms of rules it is 15 a side and 30 mins per half with regular rules.

Also if a player receives a red card he/she will receive a game suspension in the tournament.  But it won’t follow up to any other league or championship.However you are allowed to make as many subs as you want as there is a possibility a team will play 3 games in 2 days.

 

This could be a great start to your club year.
