PENALTY KICK TIE BREAKER PROCEDURE

 

1.      The two head coaches, officials, and team captains shall assemble at the halfway line to review the procedure.

2.      The head referee shall choose the goal at which all of the penalty kicks shall be taken.

3.      Each coach will select any five players, including the goalkeeper, on or off the field (except those who may have been disqualified) to take the penalty kicks.

4.      A coin toss shall be held.  The team winning the toss shall have the choice of kicking first or second.

5.      The kicks shall be attempted from the penalty mark.

7.      Following five kicks for each team, the team scoring on the greatest number of these kicks shall be declared the winner.

8.      Add one goal to the winning team score and credit the team with a victory. 

 

If the score remains tied, after each team has had five penalty kicks:

1.      Each coach will select five different players other than the first five who already have kicked to take the penalty kicks in a sudden victory situation, wherein, if one team scores and the other team does not score, the game is ended without more kicks being taken.

2.      If the score remains tied, continue the sudden victory penalty kicks with the coach selecting any five players other than the preceding players to take the next set of alternating penalty kicks.

3.      If a tie still remains, repeat sudden victory procedure.
