2007 U14G Regional Tournament
November 17, 2007
Tournament Director: Lee Berg  248-3372 cell
The primary purpose of the Tournament is to have fun while gaining tournament experience.
The Tournament is also used to determine which teams advance to the Area Tournament in Menlo Park, December 1-2, 2007.
The four (4) teams finishing highest in the Regional Tournament will advance to the Area Tournament.
No awards (trophies, medals, ribbons, certificates) are given for placings in the Regional Tournament.
If the Regional Tournament is not played on Nov. 17, the Tournament will be canceled and
the top four teams in the final regular season standings will advance to the Area Tournament.
Every player present must play at least one half of each game.
Tournament Format
The Tournament will be played according to the Tournament Rules. All coaches and referees should read these Rules prior to the Tournament. Teams are seeded according to their final regular season standings (which do not include practice games):
	Pool A			Pool B
	Name	Number	Color	Name	Number	Color
	Code Red	U14G-2	Red	Tigers	U14G- 5	Orange
	Ultra Violets	U14G-6	Purple	Blasters	U14G- 1	Blue

Each team will play a 35-minute game (for points) against each of the two other teams in its pool.
The team finishing 1st in each pool will play in the Championship Game.
The team finishing 2nd in each pool will play in the 3rd Place Game.
The team finishing 3rd in each pool will play in the 5th Place Game.
Pool Play and Playoff Game Format
Each game will consist of two 17.5-minute halves. There will be a substitution break at the end of the first half.
ONLY PLAYERS LEAVING THE GAME MAY LEAVE THE FIELD. Players staying in the game may come
to the touchline to get a quick drink but must return to their positions quickly. The break will last only 1-2 minutes.
COACHES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE THAT THEIR PLAYERS OBSERVE THIS TIME LIMIT.
Scoring
Tournament scoring will be used to award points to each team for each game in the Pool Play round:
	Win:	6 points
	Tie:	3 points
	Shutout:	1 point (a 0-0 tie = 1 shutout point for each team)
	Goals:	1 point for each goal (maximum: 3 points per game)
If two or more teams in the same pool have the same point totals after the completion of the Pool Play round, the tie will be broken in this order:
	1. head-to-head result in Pool Play
	2. fewer total goals allowed
	3. larger goal differential (total goals scored minus total goals allowed; maximum: +/- 3 per game)
	4. coin toss
