Tournament-info

The Limone Cup is played according to the rules set down by FIFA and DBU with the following amendments:

1. Number of players:
In 11-a-side a team can use a maximum of 18 players in any given game and in 8-a-side a team can use a maximum of 13 players in any given game.
2. Substitution:
All players can be substituted in and out. The substitution of a player can take place when there is a stop in the game. The referee needs to be notified. The substitution must take place from the middle of the pitch. A player, being substituted, must leave the pitch before the new player enters the pitch. Incorrect substitutions will give a yellow card.
3. Ball size:
Each team must bring one football for each match; the first mentioned team in the match schedule brings the football to be used in the match. In the groups where the age groups are combined, it is possible that the teams play with different ball sized. In this case the games are played with the smallest ball size unless anything else is agreed between the teams.
4. Soccer jerseys:
Jerseys must be numbered and the numbers must be different. If both teams have the same colours the team mentioned last in the tournament plan will change jerseys.
5. Offside:
The offside rules do not apply in 8-a-side.
6. Linesmen:
In matches where no neutral linesmen are used the two teams are obliged to present their own linesman. The referee judge offsides, fouls, etc.
7. Extra players:
In 8-a-side, it is allowed to put in one extra player on the field, per three goals behind:
0-2 goals behind: 0 extra players on the pitch.
3-5 goals behind: 1 extra player on the pitch, for the team who is behind.
6-8 goals behind: 2 extra players on the pitch, for the team who is behind.
So it continues, for each three goals extra, the team who is behind, can put in an extra player.
