Regular Season Times of Halves:

Point System:

3 points per win

1 point per tie

0 points for a loss 

Forfeits:

In the event of inclement weather, teams will give another school, three possible dates to make-up game to be fair to all teams in league. If the opposing team is unable to accommodate the three dates, it will count as a forfeit. The "winning" team will post the score as 1-0 on the website. There are four possible make-up dates built into the schedule, along with days off to reschedule games. 

Soccer Playoff System: 

We will have a 6 team playoff system and seeding will be determined by a point system. Teams will be awarded three points for a win and one point for a tie with league games only.  The winning team is responsible for inputting their score to the Google form link within 24 hours so we can all maintain records/standings. If two teams are tied based on points then the tiebreaker will be:

1) Total Points

2) Head to Head

3) Goals Against

4) Wins vs. Higher Seeds

5) Coin Flip

*70%+ of a team's league games must be completed
