GOALKEEPING
Article 2
A goalkeeper receives credit for a shutout only by playing the entire contest. If two or more goalkeepers participate in a game where no goals are allowed, credit the team with a shutout but do not award any goalkeeper an individual or shared shutout. A goalkeeper must be solely responsible for holding the opposition scoreless to be credited with a shutout. We have amended this rule for high school in terms of "shared shutouts" if two goalkeepers combine for a shutout, then a 0.5 shutout is applied to each player. However, if more than two goalkeepers combine for a shutout, then a keeper that has logged at least half of that game's minutes will get credited with a 1/2 shutout and the others should be "fractioned".
Article 3
If a contest ends in a scoreless tie, credit both teams with a shutout.
Article 4
A goalkeeper�s goals-against average is calculated by multiplying the number of goals allowed by 90 (80 in high school), divided by the actual number of minutes played by the keeper. A team's goals-against average is figured by multiplying the number of goals allowed by the team by 90 (80 in high school), divided by the actual number of minutes played.
GAA = (Goals Allowed x 90) � Minutes Played
Article 5
If a player other than the team�s goalkeeper saves a ball from going into the net, credit that team with a team save. The save is credited to the team�s total for the game but not to the individual goalkeeper. I.E., back save off the line
OVERTIME, TIEBREAKER PROCEDURE
Article 1
All statistics that occur during overtime count toward team and individual totals. However, if the game reaches the point where a tiebreaker procedure of taking kicks from the penalty-kick line or spot occurs, no statistics � goals or saves � count toward team or individual.
totals. In high school, we have amended this to award the "game winning" penalty kick to count towards a player's statistics, but the goalkeepers are excluded from this area and a "team goal allowed" should be credited to the losing team. A 1-0 loss in penalty kicks ruins a shutout for the "team".
Article 2
All contests decided by the tiebreaker procedure of taking kicks from the penalty-kick line or spot shall be counted as ties for each team�s overall record. The score shall be recorded as a tie. I wish the SCHSL would fall in line with the "rest of the world" concerning matches decided by penalty kicks. Yes, it is necessary in the playoffs, but not at any time in my opinion during the regular season. However, since the SCHSL uses the PKs as its decision maker, then Wins/Losses are recorded and Ties occur only during tournaments at the present time.
