3) USPA one man per team shootout tiebreaker in three way or more ties or two way ties between teams who have not played each other
The Team that does not make the semifinals will play a consolation game, consolation may be a round robin
Semifinals:
1. #1 ranked team and #2 ranked team play in separate semifinals
2. If necessary, 3rd and 4th teams will be placed so both top ranked teams play someone different in the semifinals
3. Team #1 will draw between #3 and #4 if it is not possible for both first and second place teams to play someone different.
4. If there are rain outs we will pull out the semi finals to stay on schedule and the #1 ranked team will play the #2 ranked team in the final.

Variances are at the bottom of the page:
Buzzer Beater Variance
Substitution Variance
​
OUTDOOR RULE 2a: Substitutions
(i) If during bracket a game of a tournament, a player is hurt DURING a game, a player (with equal or lesser handicap) in the same tournament can finish the game. BUT for all games following, only eligible substitutes (players not in the tournament) can sub. This will apply to players with handicaps from B to 10 goals to help teams when they are playing on remote fields. 

(ii) After bracket play, so either in Quarterfinals, Semifinals or Finals, if a player is injured or ill and can't start or becomes injured during game, an eliminated player of equal or lesser handicap may substitute for that game and/or the remainder of the tournament. An eliminated player is someone who has completed their final game in that tournament.

OUTDOOR RULE 14.b (the Buzzer Beater)
b.(i) A ball hit prior to the second bell or horn, and prior to the Umpires’ whistle(s) officially ending the period, may count as a goal if it is not touched by an opponent or a teammate of the player hitting the ball and it rolls or flies between the goal posts (a “Buzzer-Beater)”.

(ii) If any player on either team touches a potential "Buzzer-Beater" with their mallet, body, or horse, the whistle is blown and the ball is dead at the spot of the whistle

(iii) If a foul occurs after a potential "Buzzer Beater" is hit, a whistle will be blown, and if a penalty is called, it will be played out at the beginning of the next period

(iv) In the final period or OT period, if a foul occurs while a "Buzzer-Beater" shot is live, and a penalty is called, then the penalty will be played out immediately, and 5 seconds will be added to the clock.
