2. General rules
• Ball allowed over head height.
• Goalkeeper NOT allowed to handle from a pass-back from own team mate.
• Goal kicks to be taken from dead ball, anywhere within penalty area.
• Defending players to stand five yards from the ball for free kicks.

• Players allowed inside (and able to score within) penalty areas.
• Seven-a-side pitches marked with 16ft x 7ft match goals.

Match timings as follows:
• Group matches to be 10 minutes one way (no half time).
• Knock-out stages to be 15 minutes one way (no half time).
• Final to be 20 minutes (two halves of 10 minutes).
3. Bookings, suspensions and match forfeits
• Yellow cards will be issued for deliberate handball and reckless challenges. Two bookings trigger
a one-match suspension during tournament.
• Red cards will be issued for a serious foul or dangerous play (resulting in a two-match suspension),
or violent and abusive behaviour (resulting in suspension from entire tournament).
• Teams must be ready for matches five minutes before the allocated kick-off time.
• Teams who fail to field a side five minutes after allocated kick-off time will forfeit the match

4. Kit and equipment
• Appropriate kit and footwear to be worn by all players.
• Shinpads to be worn by all players (players will not be allowed on the pitch without shinpads).
• All jewellery to be removed before entering the field of play.
