We have PK shootouts because "No game can end in a Tie" according to the state league. However, the Eurosport Scoreboard allows you to enter the game as a tie and then record the shootout results, therefore identifying the winner (although the record shows it as a tie). When you go to the league seeding meetings for 1A and 2A the seeding committees want to know if it was a win via shootout or a win in regulation/OT. I have seen it posted in Eurosport both ways - a Tie with the shootout results and a win with the shhotout results in a posted note. Which is the proper way? The winning team wants it as a win, the losing team wants it as a tie.


I don't know how many times a season we have to clarify the designation of Penalty Kick decisions. Remember, the Eurosport Scoreboard is used nationally so what applies to SCHSL rules may be entirely different for other states, leagues, or associations.

You are correct that all regular season matches must have a "winner" and "loser" per SCHSL/SCISA rules. Therefore, a penalty kick shootout is staged after overtime has been played to determine that "winner/loser" despite it being a draw. The only draw that should appear on any varsity team's record are those matches from tournament play. If there is ever a question, please notify us - SCSoccer.com - and we will correct the Eurosport Scoreboard.
