  11. Group division
    Games shall be played in groups of four teams (in exceptional cases groups of three or five teams).

  12. Scoring

    1. Scoring of games shall be done according to points and goals. If two teams have the same number of points, the goals ratio will count according to the subtraction method, the number of goals scored having priority (e.g.: 2:2 is better  than 1:1, 5:3 is better than 3:1!). The scoring is in accordance with the system of the FIFA: win: 3 points, draw: 1 point, defeat: 0 points.

    2. If two teams have an equal number of points and scored the same number of goals in the preliminary round, the result of the game in which they played each other shall decide the winner. If, in this case, they have an equal score, the   winner shall be selected by drawing lots.

    3. To determine the best second, third, fourth or fifth in a group of three or five teams within an age group, the number of points of each team is to be divided by the number of matches played by each team (quotient). Teams will be ranked  according to their quotient, beginning with the highest one.

    4. If no winner has been determined during the qualifying/final games in regular playing time, penalty kicks in line with FIFA rules shall determine the winner (Attention: Only players who are on the field at the final whistle will be allowed to  take a penalty kick (This rule does not apply to seven aside games). No player is allowed to take two penalties before the rest of his team have taken one).

    5. Teams must arrive at the field 30 minutes before the start of the game. If a team arrives more than, at most, 15 minutes after the official game start time or fails to appear at all, the game shall be awarded as a 0:2 loss. However, if a team  fails to appear through no fault of their own (transport problems, traffic congestion, etc.) the tournament committee shall adjudicate on whether a replay should take place. If a game is abandoned due to the misbehaviour of a team, it  shall be awarded as a 0:2 loss. It is within the discretion of the tournament committee whether or not to notify the national association of the team in question. This also applies for a lack of sportsmanship away from the pitch.

    6. In case matches are cancelled due to adverse weather conditions, the results of these matches will be drawn at random (2:0 or 1:1 or 0:2). This applies only for an interruption not a discontinuation of the tournament.

  13. Special Rules
    With the Under 11-/ Under 09-age group (seven players aside) the following special rules do apply:

    • size of the goal: 6 x 2 meters ( or, if necessary, smaller)
