Welcome to the Charlotte Soccer Academy’s
On behalf of Novant Health, welcome to Charlotte. We wish you a successful
and healthy tournament.
We are proud to be chosen as the Official Healthcare Partner to Charlotte
Soccer Academy, to ensure that you have expert medical care on and off the
field throughout your stay. Our certified athletic trainers will be stationed at
first aid tents at each tournament venue. We also provide a number to call if
you need medical assistance away from the field.
Medical services provided:
 Treatments and assistance for emergent and non-emergent injuries
 Wrapping/taping of extremities
 Ice packs for injuries
For medical assistance:
 If you need preventive medical care, such as taping or stretching,
please arrive one hour prior to your game to allow adequate time for
treatment.
 Injuries on the field: Notify the field marshal assigned to your field, as
he/she will be able to contact our athletic trainer if needed. If an injury
to the head, neck and/or back is suspected, leave the injured person
in place until medical assistance arrives.
 Injuries at the complex but not on the field of play: Notify the closest
field marshal, who will alert the athletic trainer, or send a bystander to
the first aid tent to request assistance.
 Injuries off-site: Please call 704-316-SPRT (7778) to be directed to the
nearest medical facility. This number is available 24 hours a day. It
does not replace 9-1-1.
 You can also download the Novant Health app (iPhone and Android)
to find a doctor, locate the closet Urgent Care or Emergency
Department and get maps and directions.
Best of luck this weekend!

0 points
Bonus Points
1 bonus point per goal differential up to 3 bonus points based on goal differential
Bonus points will only be awarded to the winning team in each game.
At the conclusion of round robin play, teams will be ranked in their playing group
based on points earned from wins and ties. Any situation in which two or more
teams have the same number of points the tie will be broken by using the following
criteria in the order listed, one after another as needed:
1. Head to head competition
2. Bonus Points up to 3 points per game based on goal differential
3. Fewest goals allowed
4. Most Shutouts
5. Shootout from the penalty mark.

enough to break a tie, the Tournament Director shall have absolute discretion to
׉	 7cassandra://YL7PJV3ILm58OdlLD5tj-ImlfNWoYaCSu2Bq3u38Msk"`̦ V7QQ

gain an advantage by running up the match score beyond a 3-goal
differential.
Forfeit Match Scores
In round robin matches, these scores will be reported as 1-0 for scoring purposes. In
circumstances in which a forfeited match is involved with determination of
advancement in the tournament, all tie-breaking criteria involving bonus points,
most shut outs, or fewest goals allowed will be determined on a per match average,
excluding the results of the forfeited match.

may NOT advance or be declared a bracket winner or participate in a match to
determine a finalist.

period, the teams will switch ends of the field and substitutions may be made. If the
game is still tied after the second overtime period, a shoot-out procedure will
determine the outcome.
Shoot out procedure:
1. All players on the field at the end of the second overtime period may
participate.

3. Team winning the referee’s coin toss may elect to kick 1st or 2nd.
