GAME RULES:

1.  Most games will be officiated by at least one faculty member or Intramural Committee member.  Officials will keep the official score of each game in
        addition to throwing tip balls and calling fouls.  All officials should be treated with respect.  Any player or spectator who acts in a disrespectful
        manner toward an official may be subject to ejection from a game/tournament, or demerits/JUGS.
2.  Each game will begin with the "visitor team" starting with the ball at mid-field.  After a goal, the team which was scored upon will begin with the ball at mid-field.
3.  Normal soccer rules will apply with the exception that there will only be 5 players plus a goalie allowed on the pitch at any given time and there will be no offsides.
4.  Teams may only substitute a player when another player leaves the field (similar to hockey), so that NO MORE THAN 6 PLAYERS ARE ON THE
        FIELD AT THE SAME TIME.  Whenever possible, substitutions should be made during a "dead ball situation."  Teams  must rotate players if more
        than 6 homeroom members wish to play!
5.  No excessive physical play (slide tackling, pushing etc.) will be allowed (as determined by Mr. Barton). 
6.  A Two minute warning will be given prior to the end of each game and the end of the game will be announced by the official working the game.
7.  If teams are tied at the end of the time limit, each team will take sudden death "penalty shots" from 10 feet away until a winner is determined.
