About the 2014 ISSA School Girl Football Tournament

Match Time:    3:00 p.m.

1.    All players must have an ISSA issued photo I.D. before they can participate.

2.    All players must be duly registered in the school before they can participate, and must be registered in the school by September 30 of the school year.

3.    All players (except the Goalkeeper) from any one team must wear similar jerseys while on the field of play.

4.    All players are required to keep their jerseys tucked in their shorts while on the field.

5.    Teams are requested to wear their registered colours.    Whenever there is a “clash” of colours between two competing teams, the visiting team is required to change (providing the home team is in its registered colours.   The home team must always be named first in the fixtures).

6.    If a player receives a “red card” she automatically misses the next match in the competition.  If a player receives 3 yellow cards in a season she will automatically miss the next match in the competition.

    In both instances she may, in addition, face the Disciplinary Committee.

7.    Coaches, Sportsmasters and Team Managers are subject to the same discipline as the players.

8.    Points system: Three (3) points for a win, one (1) point for a draw, 0 point for a loss.   “Should a team fail to honour a fixture without a valid excuse acceptable to the Managing Committee, said team will forfeit the match and the opponent awarded three points and a score of two nil.” Any team which fails to start a match fifteen (15) minutes after the scheduled start without the consent of the Managing Committee will forfeit the match.   If a team fails to honour two (2) fixtures in a season that team will be scratched from the competition, and may be omitted from the next competition.

9.    If a team forfeits a match or the match is awarded to the opposing team then the opposing team would be credited with a three (3) nil score.

10.    At the conclusion of the preliminary rounds, the first two in each group will advance to the next round.   Should there be a tie for any place, goal difference, then most goals shall be used to break the tie.   Should the tie remain, there will be a play-off to determine the winner.

Best 3rd place:
Number of points gained / Number of matches played.

11.    All players must be under nineteen (19) on August 31 preceding start of the school year.

12.    Duration of matches: two (2) halves of forty (40) minutes each, with an interval of ten to fifteen minutes.

13.    Substitution – 7 substitutes are allowed per team per match.

14.    The home team (team named first) is responsible for ensuring the availability of the match ball, and for the dispensing of refreshment for the players and officials – except from the second round onwards.

15.    The home teams must provide suitable grounds.

16.    The Association is responsible for the supervision of all Finals, Semi-Finals, Quarter-Finals and Inter-zone matches in conjunction with the Principal involved.

17.    (a)   If a match is blown off prematurely due to poor crowd behaviour, that ground may be banned for at least one year unless it can be proven that the supporters of the visiting team caused the match to be blown off.

        (b)    If a match is not played due to negligence of the home team, the match should be
rescheduled at the visitor’s ground.  Failure to honour this match by either team will result in that team being suspended from the competition for a period to be determined.

18.    Security: Proper security at matches is the responsibility of the Home team.

19.    Indemnity:  

(a) The Association shall be indemnified against all claims for losses,     injuries and expenses incurred by members during the normal conduct of the Association’s business or competitions.

(b) Any school which participates in any ISSA competition is required to provide, for the benefit of said school’s team, medical or para-    medical personnel during the contest.
