Quote: Coach: As I said, I have no problem with reporting results as you do, and my comments aren't directed at scsoccer. My question/issue is with the practice of what amounts to awarding a goal to a team that wins in kicks from the spot (another pet peeve - if no foul has been committed, it isn't a penalty kick - but that's admittedly a bit pedantic). For example, if Aiken beats White Knoll in kicks after tying 2-2, the proper result is 2-2 Aiken wins in pk's (I surrender) 4-3. The scoreline of the game doesn't become 3-2.
Just noticed the horse was dead - so I'm done. Cheers.
I understand your plight. I have said the same thing but the fact remains that a 2-2 draw in S.C. high school soccer with a match that includes overtime is going to have a winner and a loser - per SCHSL rules. The rules state that it has to happen, therefore the "winner" is credited with one more goal than the "loser", although SCSoccer.com considers these matches a tie when compiling rankings despite the W/L record reflecting otherwise. For instance, Spring Valley's boys varsity team is currently 6-3-0 overall, but in "soccer terms" is 5-2-2.
