4. Misconduct - 2nd Caution and Straight Red Card = Ejection from that game plus next game.  Do not utilize an accumulation policy of cards over a season.

• If the game is still tied, proceed to penalty kick procedure below.

Penalty Kick Procedure: 

• Each coach will select any 5 players, including the goalkeeper, on the field at the end of 2nd OT to take penalty kicks.    Following all 5 kicks by each team, the team scoring on the greatest number of penalty kicks shall be declared the winner.  (NOT sudden victory)

• Each coach will select 5 different players who were also on the field at the end of 2nd OT than the first 5 who already have kicked to take the penalty kicks in a Sudden Victory situation. (One team scores and the other does not - the game ends)

• Continue the Sudden Victory kicks with the coach selecting ANY 5 players to take the next set of alternating kicks. 

• Repeat Sudden Victory kicks with the coach selecting 5 more players that are DIFFERENT from the 5 that just kicked. 

• Repeat this process until there is a winner.  This includes the championship game in all conferences.
