Rule Number 43
TIEBREAKER SHOOT-OUT
.1 The captain of the team can choose which players, and their order, will participate in the tiebreaker shoot-out. Normally five (5) players will be chosen, (which may or may not include the goalkeeper) however, at the end of playing time, any player(s) who are not part of the game because of a red card send-off, will not take part in the tiebreaker shoot-out and their team will forfeit those shot(s). At the end of playing time, any player(s) who are not part of the game because of a yellow card send-off, will not take part in the tiebreaker shoot-out but their team will not forfeit those shot(s).
.2 The participating players from each team will take tiebreaker shots alternating between teams after each shot. The referee will toss a coin and offer the choice of which team is to shoot first to the team captain that wins the toss. Both teams shoot at the same goal. Unless the Competition Committee has decided which goal should be used, the referee will decide which goal is to be used.
.3 The goalkeeper not involved in defending the goal will position themselves beside the side line nearest the second referee in between shots unless they are taking a shot personally.
.4 If, after each team has had four (4) tiebreaker shots, one team has scored a greater number of goals, then that team will be the winning team.
.5 If, after each team has had four (4) tiebreaker shots, the score is still equal then the teams will take alternate tiebreaker shots, in the same order as the previous round, until, with an equal number of tiebreaker shots, one team has scored more goals.
