Main Rules

edit

Games are played first to ten, with the winner having to win by at least two points. If it's a one point game, it will go to overtime. In the case of overtime, it goes best out of three, if the game is still tied, it goes to best of two, one, and repeats. Also, if the ball deflects of the post of the goal or the goalie without full control, the shooter may try again on the "One Touch Rule." If a player were to taunt, waste too much time, or destroy substances as in a ball, goal, or plant more than once a yellow card will be given. Three yellows equals a red, resulting in an ejection. "Free Kicks" can be given to the shooter if the goalie lines up too far in front of the goal or taunts one time. The free kick is a wide open shot for the shooter to take.

The league doesn't have any dress code, but players are required to wear gloves or some sort of hand protection. Standing in the goal or the "box" without gloves automatically gives the opponent a free kick. Bolles has even played games with a mouth guard.

Games are started with a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors. The Referee will make the opponents turn back to back and play until one wins. The winner chooses to kick or play goalie first. Referees will keep score and give signals like when to kick, timeouts, and cards. The Line Judge Referee will decide if a goal stands and also see how far the goalie is lined up. Since you have to win by two, if the score is 9-9 the first to score 10 in regulation will get to kick first in overtime.

The League playoffs currently consists of 3 of 4 teams. Based of records, the highest seed or best overall record (tiebreakers based off head-to-head) gets the first seed and a first round bye. The 2nd and 3rd seeds play each other in the CCPG. (Conference Championship Penalty Game) The 4th seed misses the playoffs. The Championship is played by the 1st seed and winner of the CCPG. It is a 5-game series in which the first team to 3 wins will get the League Title. The title comes with the trophy (Cum Cup) and check for $125.
