of the Competition, should they do so, they will be expelled from
the tournament.

7.
Any team more than 10 minutes late taking the field shall forfeit
the game. Teams taking the field late up to a maximum of 10 minutes
shall be fined €1.50 per minute. This rule will be strictly enforced
due to the tight schedule that is being operated.

8.
All games including the finals of the championship and plate shall
be 10 minutes per half.


9. Teams shall be divided into groups of 5 teams in each group.
The group will run on a league basis with 3 points for a win and
1 point for a draw. The quarter-finals format will be decided
on completion of groups.

10.
Each team shall play a total of 80 minutes in their group matches
– 4 matches consisting of 20 minutes per game. However, in the
event of a team or teams in any group failing to turn up on the
day and if a standby team is not available, the remaining teams
in the group shall play more than 10 minutes per half to make
up the 80 minutes, so that an advantage will not be accrued by
any team at the quarter-final stage. Example = 4 teams in a group
= 13 minutes per half 3 teams in a group = 20 minutes per half

11.
Should there be a group tie for first and second positions in
the group, the placing shall be determined by 5 shots for points
from the 30m line. Players have the option of taking the kick
off the ground or from the hand. The ball has to be kicked before
the player crosses the line. Only points count. Should the teams
be still tied, taking of points will continue under the sudden
death procedure by using the remaining members of the panel. Should
there be a tie for first, second and third positions in the group,
the placings shall be determined by 5 shots for points from the
30m line by all 3 teams. Shots are to be taken into goals already
in use for competition.

12.
Each team may use as many substitutions as they wish within the
