Teams will be placed into divisions based upon age, gender and playing experience. Any team or player determined by the Tournament Director to have falsified age or skill level will be dismissed from the tournament. Teams that span more than one age group will be placed into the division of the oldest player on the team. Teams are responsible for signing up in the appropriate division; teams which have any competitive experience should sign up for the competitive division. For teams placing themselves in the wrong division, CSA  will attempt to rectify the error, but cannot guarantee proper placement.

Any part of the ball or player’s body on the line or inside the plane of the box is considered in the goal box and an extension of such. If a defensive player touches the ball after it has entered the plane, a goal will be awarded to the offensive team.

The ball must be completely on the offensive half of the field, and cannot be touching the mid-line (Example: kick-off).

If a ball is kicked from the defensive half and is not touched before the ball rests in the goal, a goal kick is awarded to the defensive team.
