During the matches played as part of the tournament, the rules for field football as applied by the KNVB apply, with the following exceptions:

• A team consists of a goalkeeper and six field players. These can be either girls or guys.
• The beer pools play on a third half and the fanatic pools play on a half field.
• The home team kicks off and always plays towards the clubhouse.
• The ball is kicked in instead of thrown in. You may not shoot at the target in one shot.
• In case of violations, time penalties are used instead of cards.
• In principle, a time penalty applies for a duration of five minutes.
• If a penalty is repeated, you will be excluded from the match for the remaining time.
• The referee also has the option to give an ‘immediate’ red, which means that you are immediately excluded from the match(s) for a certain time. This will be done in consultation with the tournament management.
• Unlimited substitutions are allowed.
• A group match lasts 12 minutes, without changing sides.
• Each team must arrive at least five minutes before the start of their match.
• The tournament management indicates the start and end of each round by means of an audio signal.
• If a team is not present five minutes after the starting signal, the referee may decide to award a 3-0 victory to the team that did arrive.
• If the teams’ clothing matches in such a way that confusion could arise, the home team must put on vests. These are available from the tournament management.

And then this…

• Like last year, plastic cups are no longer allowed. The cup system will be similar to last year’s.
• The competition management reserves the right to make changes to the competition schedule due to unforeseen circumstances.
• Keep the complex tidy by placing waste in the appropriate bins.
• Leave the changing rooms tidy.
• Do not leave your valuables in the changing rooms.

The tournament management is not liable for loss or theft of personal property
