Point System for Preliminary Games

Points are scored as follows:
* Win 3 points
* Tie 1 point
* Loss 0 points

Bonus Points
* 1 bonus point per goal differential up to 3 bonus points based on goal differential
* Bonus points will only be awarded to the winning team in each game

At the conclusion of round robin play, teams will be ranked based on points earned from wins and ties. Any situation in which two or more teams have the same number of points the tie will be broken by using the following criteria in the order listed, one after another as needed:
1. Head to head competition
2. Bonus Points up to 3 points per game based on goal differential
3. Fewest goals allowed
4. Most Shutouts
5. Shootout from the penalty mark.

If more than two teams are involved in a tie, the criteria will be followed in order (omitting head to head competition) until all ties are broken. If these criteria are not enough to break a tie, the Tournament Director shall have absolute discretion to break the tie by any method they deem appropriate.

***NOTE*** There is no tie breaker related to most goals scored. No team will gain an advantage by running up the match score beyond a 3-goal differential.

Forfeit Match Scores
In round robin matches, these scores will be reported as 1-0 for scoring purposes. In circumstances in which a forfeited match is involved with determination of advancement in the tournament, all tie-breaking criteria involving bonus points, most shut outs, or fewest goals allowed will be determined on a per match average, excluding the results of the forfeited match. A team, which has forfeited a match, may NOT advance or be declared a finalist.

Tie Matches
All tied matches in round robin play will stand.

Final Match
The final match will consist of two 40 minute halves. If tied during regulation a coin toss will determine choice of goals to defend. Overtime will be two 10 minute overtime periods. After the first overtime period, the teams will switch ends of the field and substitutions may be made. If the game is still tied after the second overtime period, a shootout procedure will determine the outcome.

Shoot out procedure:
1. All players on the field at the end of the second overtime period may participate.
2. Referee will decide the goal to be used for the shootout.
3. Team winning the referee’s coin toss may elect to kick 1st or 2nd.
4. Alternating shots will be taken from the mark.

That is why you need to read the thread before posting. No sense in making a thread an entire scroll when there is already a space to do so.

I want to thank Sticky Fingers for the donated food, all the teams, parents, officials, Town of Mount Pleasant, and the host hotel Quality Inn, for all of your support in making the Raising Cane's Carolina Classic a success this weekend.

A special thanks to Raising Cane's our primary sponsor that have been an amazing supporter of high school athletics.

This weekend was a great opportunity for all teams to identify strengths and weaknesses within their program. Every game was a battle and I can not remember a tournament with the talent of each school being so level. Best of luck to all in your 2012 run for a State Championship and look forward to seeing you all again next year.

A special thanks to the Heise's for keeping everyone updated throughout the weekend on scsoccer.com

Irmo doesnt play in tournaments where they could face a good team. It may put a challenge in their pathetic schedule. How is that working out for ya?

The talent level at Lake Murray not far behind, if behind at all, compared to the Charleston tournament. Even though scrimmage games, they do have some comparable results and teams. You must also remember that Irmo is one of the host teams for Lake Murray.

My only disappointment in Irmo is seeing their absence at Palmetto Cup being in their backyard, close to playoffs, and caliber of teams. Palmetto Cup didn't seem to hurt Wando last year in state playoffs even though they did have a 'difficult' Palmetto Cup.

Although I can not vouch for Savitz's position on scheduling, I know that Tisdale scheduled and coached last season with a single goal in mind: to be ready for the state tournament. To the extent that he could, he looked for good scrimmages, and non-league/out-of-state opponents to test-drive various lineups and toughen his team. He didn't sweat an occasional non-conference loss as much as many coaches would, preferring to learn from those games instead.
One should not confuse Irmo's undefeated record prior to the championship game with "easy scheduling." Nor should one assume that Irmo's "easy" schedule led to a loss in the end. More likely, Wando was the better team ON THAT DAY, just as Irmo may be the better team this year.
