To ensure that all competitive games have adequate referee coverage (a crew of three referees), for the 2024 Fall Season each team must earn 15 referee points to participate in the Region Playoffs.  

• For 14U, all teams meeting the ref points requirement participate in the playoffs
• For 12U, all teams meeting the ref points requirement participate in the playoffs
• For 10U, the top 8 teams meeting the ref points requirement participate in the playoffs

Please note that teams participating in playoffs are subject to change based on scheduling and logistics. 

To qualify and advance each playoff team must supply at least one referee to cover games on each playoff day. 

Playoff seedings are first done by game points (3 for each win, 1 for each tie).  In the event there are two or more teams with an equal number of game points tie breaker rules are used to determine seedings:  

• Most wins (e.g. a record of 5-3-1 would qualify ahead of a team with a record of 4-2-4 even though both teams would have 16 points)
• Fewest goals against.
• Head-to-head result, if any.
• Goal differential, limited to 5 per game.
• Coin toss by the commissioner.
  

The first round of playoff games this year will be held on November 16, 2024. Even teams that have not qualified for playoffs will have friendly games on that day. The final round of playoffs will be held on November 23, 2024. The championship teams from our park will advance to Area playoffs (schedule will be posted on the Area 10V website: https://www.ayso10v.org).
