Playoff Information

Session Two Playoffs

All session two playoff matches will be full-length, 48-minute matches.

Most divisions will play semifinals on 3/20 or 3/21 followed by finals on 3/27 or 3/28. Some divisions will play finals only, which will take place on 3/27 or 3/28.

All teams will play two games across those two weekends -- three teams will play doubleheaders on the first date and will not play on the second weekend.

Semifinals and finals that are level at the end of regular time will play a five-minute, golden goal period. If the match is level after five minutes, kicks from the penalty mark will be taken. If the match remains level, kicks will continue in a sudden-death format.

Trophies and awards will be presented to the top two finishers after the completion of the championship match. Fair Play Awards will also be disseminated.

Divisions where only finals will be contested (between 1st and 2nd place teams): B910 South / B910 Central / G910 Central / G1314 South / G1314 North / All adult divisions.

(Boys South will play a round-robin, three-team playoff with each team playing the other for a 24-minute match, the champion will be the team that wins both its matches, if two teams finish with one win and one draw, the team with the greater goal differential will be crowned champion.)

 

Session One Youth Playoffs

For all divisions, the top four teams make the playoff round. Teams seeded first and fourth will play in one semifinal, teams seeded second and third will play in the other semifinal. Each semifinal match will be 24 minutes -- no halftime. Either immediately following the semifinals or after a 30- or on occasion 60-minute break, the semifinal winners will meet in the championship match, which is also 24 minutes long.

Teams that lose in the semifinals will play each other or play other teams for an additional 24-minute match.

Semifinals and finals that are level at the end of regular time will play a five-minute, golden goal period. If the match is level after five minutes, kicks from the penalty mark will be taken.

All playoffs will take place on Jan. 30 & Jan. 31 on regularly scheduled league dates.

 

Session One Adult Playoffs

Adult divisions will play regular-length, 48-minnute playoff matches beginning on Jan. 24 with semifinals for the top four teams in each division. Teams not making the playoff round will compete in an alternate round of games. Finals will be contested on Jan. 31. 

 

Awards

First and second place teams will receive trophies, and players on the top two teams will receive individual awards as well. One team per division will receive a Fair Play Award. Awards ceremonies will take place immediately following each division's championship match.
