Two Way Ties - BL 9.6.3.1
If two (2) teams shall have equal points, further classification shall be established as follows:
"...The team winning the game between the two teams shall be placed higher..." (no other provisions apply)
Three Way Ties - BL 9.6.3.2
If three (3) or more teams shall have equal points, further classification shall be established as follows:
BL 9.6.3.2.1 : The results among the tied teams shall determine which team is placed highest.
BL 9.6.3.2.2 : If at any time during the application of the procedure set our in this BL 9.6.3.2, the number of tied teams is reduced to two (2), then BL 9.6.3.1 shall be used to determine which of the two (2) remaining teams is placed higher.
BL 9.6.3.2.3 : "The comparison shall be made upon first, the points of the games among them, next the goal difference, and next, based upon goals scored."
BRUTALITIES
The call will result in a penalty throw and a 4-minute exclusion. Further, if a player is called for a brutality, she will be out for the remainder of that game and the rest of the tournament.
However, either team can appeal the call with video evidence. Video can be submitted to the FWPL committee. The committee can determine if the act of brutality was not called correctly by the official and the punishment can be removed or lessened.
PROTESTS
Notification of intent to protest must be done at the time of the error, or the next appropriate stoppage of play, so that the protest may be addressed at that time. Note that judgement of the referee is not protestable, only misapplication of the rules.
If you are protesting an adverse course condition, this must be protested prior to the start of the game.
The tournament committee is - Dustin Litvak, James Lathrop, Guy Baker, Jon Barnea, Trent Calder, Levon Dermendjian, and the head referee in that age group and/or the tournament.
If the protest involves a club that someone on the tournament committee is affiliated with then that person will recuse themself.
