tournament (men 8-a-side & women 10-a-side) in accordance with
general rules of the ILF, ELF, IFWLA and DLC:
a) All teams will arrive ON
TIME for the match fully equipped and with proper team jerseys. Teams
arriving too late for the match will forfeit the match.
b) Each team must have at least
the minimum number of players (including a goalie). This means for men
7 field players plus 1 goalie plus substitution and for women 9 field

c)
Team jerseys must have an individual number which is directly
correspondent to the individual player.
d)
Each player must have a legal stick applicable for his position, men

by the referee if the equipment is inappropriate. The
referees will check all the player's equipment and may refuse a
player's participation if the equipment is found illegal, inappropriate
or insufficient.
e)
Statistical ranking of the teams will be made possible as follows: a
victory is 3 points, a tie is one point and a loss is 0 points. A
forfeit will count as +3 points for the opponent, but will be scored
0:0.
The goals for and against each team will also be tallied to help
separate teams who are equal in points. The Tournament
Organization is responsible for maintaining these statistics.
