PLAYOFF PROCEDURES
If you are assigned to any TAPPS or UIL playoff games, it is imperative that you are familiar with the overtime rules used in order to determine a winner in the event your game ends in a tie. The procedures should be discussed and reviewed as a crew prior to the match during the pre-game conference.
TAPPS OVERTIME
All TAPPS playoff games that are tied at the end of regulation play, the game shall be resolved by the Golden Goal Rule.
- Teams will play a 10 minute overtime period; however, the game will end when one team scores.
- If neither team scores, a second 10 minute overtime period will be played, with the game ending if either team scores.
- If neither team scores the Golden Goal, the game shall be decided by penalty kicks(kicks from the penalty mark)
UIL OVERTIME
All UIL playoff games that end in a tie will be resolved by playing two ten-minute overtime periods.
- The interval between the second half and the first overtime period shall be five minutes.
- The interval between the first overtime period and a second overtime period shall be two minutes.
- If a tie still exists, there shall be a shoot-out (kicks from the penalty mark).
KICKS FROM THE PENALTY MARK
The following procedures are to be followed for both TAPPS and UIL games that require Kicks from the Penalty Mark Procedure to determine a winner.
• There shall be a three-minute intermission between the end of regular play (or second overtime period if overtime is used as a tie breaker) and the beginning of the kicks from the penalty mark.
• The referee conducts a coin toss with the visiting team's captain calling the coin. The team that wins the toss decides whether to take the first or second kick.
• The referee will select the goal at which the kicks shall take place.
•The home team shall provide three game balls.
• Any player on the roster who has not been disqualified is eligible to participate.
• Coaches, bench personnel, and players other than the kickers and goalkeepers participating in each kick must remain in their team bench areas.
• Each coach will select five players, which can include the goalkeeper.
• Once a player has reported to the official at the center circle, that player may not be replaced unless he/she is injured, cautioned, or disqualified.
• The kicking players from each team must remain in the center circle except the player taking the kick and the two goalkeepers. The official will record the player's name and number.
• The goalkeeper who is the teammate of the kicker must remain on the field of play by the intersection of the goal line and penalty area line behind the official.
• The defending team may change the goalkeeper with any eligible prior to each kick.
• Kicks will be made by each team in alternating order until each team has taken a total of five kicks, unless one team has scored an insurmountable number of goals.
• If there is no winner after each team has attempted five kicks, each coach will select five players other than the five in the preceding group. If a team has less than ten eligible players (not including the goalkeeper), a player who has previously kicked may be placed at the end of the order. Teams will continue to alternate kicks until one team attains one more goal than its opponent after each has had an equal number of kicks.
• If the score remains tied, continue the kicks with the coach selecting any five players to take the next set of alternating kicks. If a tie remains, repeat.
• If a player is unable to continue whether because of injury, caution or disqualification, the next player shall kick and the coach will select a player who is not in the current set of five kickers to kick last of that group of five kicks. The original kicker whose kick was taken (or retaken) by a different player is not counted as having taken a kick.
• During the kicks from the penalty mark, kicks will continue as long as both teams have at least one eligible player.
