Tournament Information:
League playoff game....here are the OT Guidlelines:
SWC plays 2 - 10 minute "Golden Goal" overtimes the PK's
NVL/CCC/CTC plays 2 - 10 minute overtimes in full then PK's (just like CIAC rules)
Berkshire League plays 2 - 5 minute overtimes in full then PK's
All PK's are done as CIAC does (no golden Goal) full rounds of 5 until a team has an unsurmountable goal difference.
The Higher ranked team is home team and wears color uniform AND calls the coin flip.
