El Ultimo Torneo de Futbol (The Ultimate Soccer Tournament)
What more could you ask for? Rich in culture, impassioned fans world wide, brutally fierce competition, I'm talking about the only sport where game clock doesn't stop, even for a death on the field: Soccer. Futbol, Football, Calcio. It's played around the world, even in State College.

d. Any player is only permitted to play for one team for the duration of the tournament. Trading, bartering, kidnapping, etc. will end at the sound of the first whistle.
3. Offsides
a. There is no offsides in 6 v. 6 play. Therefore, “cherry picking” shall be used upon the discretion of any given team.
4. Out of bounds
a. The entirety ball must cross the sideline before it is considered to be out of bounds. A kick in shall result at the point where the ball crossed the line.
b. Should the entirety of the ball cross the end line but not be within the frame of the goal, the result shall be a goal kick (a kick to be taken by the defending team) or a corner kick (to be taken by the offensive team).
c. If the entirety of the ball crosses the goal line within the frame of the goal, this counts for ONE point for the offensive team, regardless of where the ball was kicked from (e.g. there are no “2-point kicks”).
5. Handball

6. Referees, fouls, etc.
a. There shall be at least one referee officiating each game, and all fouls are subject to referee’s discretion.

c. Should a referee not see a foul, teams are encouraged to play with utmost sportsmanship and call their own foul.
d. Any serious foul called inside your own goalkeeper’s box will result in a PK. This kick is a direct kick, meaning the ball may enter the goal without touching any other player except the kicker (obviously).
