Registration is now open.
The tournament will be played in accordance with the applicable rules of FIFA and the KNVB and some deviating rules determined by the tournament management. Teams are expected to know the rules of the game for the age category that apply to them. These can be found elsewhere on the website. It is played on natural grass and on artificial turf pitches. It is not possible to indicate in advance that you do not want to play on artificial turf.
In all groups, there is no limit to the number of changes. These changes must be made with the permission of the referee, in accordance with FIFA rules. So not during the game. If the referee judges that substitutions in the final minutes of the game are only made to gain time, he may decide not to allow the substitution.
In matches where a decision has to be made (in the play-offs), in the event of a tie, penalty kicks will be taken immediately and no extra time will be played. The match is only over when the referee signals this by blowing the whistle, not when the announcer indicates this. Only in exceptional cases will injury time be added.
The scoring is in accordance with the three-point system, so;3 points for a win1 point for a draw0 points for loss
If two or more teams end up in the same place in the group phase, the following will be considered:1. Goal difference2. The number of goals scored3. Mutual results
If this also does not provide a definitive answer, then;1. In the event that both teams play (simultaneously) at the same location that day, penalty kicks will be taken.2. In the event that both teams play at a different location that day (or are no longer present) and taking penalty kicks is therefore not possible, will be decided by drawing lots. The results of this draw will be announced via the website and no correspondence can be entered into about the results of the draw.
All participating teams are obliged to submit a list containing the names and dates of birth of the participating players (well) before the start of the 1st match, or when registering upon arrival. A player list must be submitted on Saturday and Sunday. Players are obliged to identify themselves when necessary if the organization requests it and will regularly carry out random checks regarding ages. If a player cannot or refuses to identify himself, this player can be denied further participation by the organization. If, after possible identification, it appears that a player has unlawfully participated in the team in question, all previously played matches of that team will be declared invalid and converted into a legal 0-1 loss. The player in question will also be denied further participation and the organization may decide to remove the team in question from the tournament.A player may only be registered for 1 team during the tournament.
All teams must ensure that they arrive on time before the start of their match. Teams that, without good reason, cannot be there in time to start their match will automatically lose 0-1. Not being able to find the sports park, or not knowing where to play, is not a valid excuse. That is why it is also important to check carefully on Saturday where and at what time you have to play on Sunday. If your team is late and you have a good reason for this, we urge you to contact the (local) organization in a timely manner.The first named team may choose which side his/her team defends. The other team may kick off.
ALL matches are played WITHOUT Assistant referees. The referee is the only one who decides whether or not a ball has crossed the line or when a player is offside. During the final matches for places 1 and 2 on Sunday, the organization will appoint official assistant referees. ALL decisions made by the referee on the pitch are binding and no objection is possible. Complaints about referees will only be dealt with by the organization in exceptional cases.
Just like in almost all competitions nowadays, only the captain is allowed to ask the referee for an explanation of decisions made in a proper manner. If a player, not being the captain, comes to seek redress, the referee may take action against this
A player who receives a yellow card during the match must leave the field for two (2) minutes. It may not be replaced during that period. The referee MUST indicate this by showing the yellow card. A player who receives a second yellow card must leave the field and is excluded for the remainder of that match. A player who is sent off with a direct red card is excluded for the remainder of the match in question and the next match of his/her team. In case of serious violations or violent acts, the (local) organization may decide on a longer suspension. If a player who has received a direct red card still plays in the next match and this is determined, that team will lose the match in regulation. The team management is responsible for this and only when a player is suspended for more than 1 match will this be communicated by the tournament management.If someone on the bench / along the field, belonging to the team, i.e. team officials (coach, assistant coach, caretaker) or reserve players receives a red card (even if this is the result of two yellow cards), then one player will have to leave the field and the team in question will play with one player less.When a match is abandoned, the following action is taken;– The referee informs the tournament management of the reason for the strike– In consultation, a guilty team will be designated by the referee and organization– This team will then lose the match 0-1, and may be removed from the tournament– If both teams are at fault, both teams will be deducted 1 win point and can be removed from the tournamentIn case of (repeated) misconduct, or violent acts, the organization will not hesitate to immediately remove teams from the tournament. We stand for respect and fair play. Misconduct along the field by parents or leaders will also be dealt with harshly and this can also lead to the removal of individuals or the entire team. The police will be called in at all times in the event of serious (violent) crimes.Again, ALL decisions of both referee and organization are binding and no correspondence will be entered into.

After the match, the referee will ask both coaches to sign the result for approval on the match sheet. This is to ensure a correct result. When a coach refuses, on whatever grounds, to sign, he automatically agrees with the result. If you nevertheless notice an incorrect result, we ask you to report this to the local tournament management. On Saturday it is possible to correct incorrect results until 19:00, after which all published results are binding. All results and fixtures will be published on www.tournify.nl.
– Each team is expected to arrive at the accommodation in sportswear. Shower facilities will be provided.– All spectators at the matches must be behind the fence or at least 2 meters from the field. This also applies to teams that are waiting to play their own match if the previous match has not yet ended. The referees will not start until everyone complies with this request. If this does not happen, the match will not be started and the organization can take measures against the offender(s)– Playing is at your own risk. The organization cannot be held liable in the event of any injuries, accidents and/or theft. So make sure that valuables are not left alone or unattended. First aid for accidents is available at the event. In case of serious injuries, the organization will call in the appropriate emergency services.– It is NOT allowed to consume alcohol as a player (this is of course only possible in case of the U19 teams), when a team still has to play. If the organization determines that this is happening, a team will be irrevocably excluded from further participation. It is also not allowed for anyone to enter with glassware on or around the field.
It is possible to submit oral and/or written complaints against decisions taken. A deposit of 50 euros must be paid for this. If the complaint is upheld, this amount will be refunded. If the complaint is declared unfounded, the objector will lose this amount. We would like to emphasise that in most cases protests against decisions taken by referees have no chance. We would like to point out that we, as tournament directors, stand 100% behind the decisions made by our referees. It is NOT allowed to ask the referee for an explanation after the game, especially when he has left the field. Misconduct by players or coaches after a match can lead to a point deduction or even exclusion from further participation for the team in question.
