OFFICIALS: The host team will provide officials from their respective regions. The championship site will provide two officials and an alternate, if available. The officials will be paid from the gate receipts of High Schools rules
TIES/OVERTIME PROCEDURES: If a game is tied at the end of regulation play, two 7 v.7 sudden death ten minute periods will be played. The games will end upon the first goal scored in either period of play. Substitution is allowed during these periods. A coin toss will determine which team has possession of the ball at the beginning of the first sudden death period. The other team will have possession of the ball at the beginning of the second sudden death period, if it is required.
If the tie remains after completion of the sudden death periods, then strokes will be taken to determine the winner with five strokers per team. A coin toss will determine which team has the first stroke with the winner of the toss electing to shoot first or defend first. Each team shall alternate strokes and the winner will be the team with the most goals after all five strokes have been taken.
If the tie remains after completion of these strokes, the team will go into a sudden death stroke-off. The same set of five strokers may take the strokes, but the order does not have to be the same. The first team awarded more goals than its opponent, after an equal number of stroke attempts, shall be the winner.
GAME BALLS: Home teams should provide game balls for tournament games.
ADMISSION: Unless otherwise specified, admission for NCISAA play-off events is $7.00 per adult and $5.00 per NCISAA student. Children under the age of eight will be admitted free. 100% of gate receipts, after approved expenses, is due the NCISAA.
RULES: Unless otherwise specified, National High School Federation rules will be followed. The NFHS position on protective eyewear for players has been endorsed by the NCISAA.
