U10-U14 Commissioner's Cup (Playoffs)
This section is detailed information on our U10-U14 Commissioner's Cup tournament, which also serves as our division playoffs, and determines which team advances to represent Region 114 in the Area Z playoff tournament.
Tournament Format
Each team in the tournament plays a minimum of two games in pool play "qualifying" rounds. A point system is used to determine which teams advance from qualifying rounds to Medal rounds. (See Rules & Regulations for a complete description of points system and point tiebreakers.) Pool play games can end in ties, but Medal Round matches that are tied at the end of regulation proceed to Kicks from the Mark (KFTM).
Medal Round matches (Semi-Finals, Finals) will be held Sunday. Coaches and officials are asked to submit their scores and match reports to Matchtrak immediately upon the completion of their pool games, so that the Medal Round schedule can be built as soon as possible.
Warm-Ups, Check-Ins, and Starting On Time
Due to light constraints, some U12 and U14 teams may play qualifying games Thursday or Friday, but all other teams will play their qualifying games on Saturday. For this reason games will be stacked on top of each other with no field warm-up time. It is critical that teams show up early to be checked-in, and referees begin and end games on time.
Teams should warm-up adjacent to their fields, but not on the field. Once the prior game is complete and field has been vacated, the next teams should enter the field, having already been checked-in and ready for kick-off. The home team is to be situated on the North or West side of the field. The Away team is to be situated on the South or east side of the field. To save time, the Home team kicks off in all pool play.

Once the schedule is posted, it will be available on Matchtrak.
