NBIC Men’s Futsal Fall League

Rules & Format

This competition is a 6-weeks tournament, in which the outcome of each game will be recorded as points on a league table.

The first 3 weeks teams will play each other to accumulate points on the league table.

Win = 3pts

Tie = 1pts

Loss = 0 pts

Match time: 20 minutes (8 minute half + 2 min break). There will be a total of 6 games on each game day with each team participating in 3 games each.

Week 4 will be similar to the first 3 weeks with only a difference in the obtainable points. For this week, Win = 5pts, Tie = 2pts and Loss = 0 pts. Other than this, the time and format remains the same.

Week 5 will feature a total of 4 league games with a given team participating in 2 games each. The first on the table will play the second, while the third on the table will play against the fourth. The winner from these two matches will then play each other and the losers will play each other too. Every match will have a total allotted time of 30mins: two 12minutes halves with a 3mins halftime break in between, and an additional 3mins for facilitators to prepare for the next match. There are no ties allowed from this week going forward, so if a game ends in a stalemate within the given time, the winner will be decided through a penalty shootout . Same point system as week 4.

Week 6 (the final week) will feature 2 matches. The third and fourth position teams on the table will play each other for the competition’s second runner-up position. Then the first and second place teams on the table will play each other to decide on the champion and first runner-up. The matches will be allotted 40mins each: two 15minutes halves with a 5mins halftime break in between, and an additional 5mins for facilitators to prepare for the final match.
Of course there are no ties allowed here as well, so if a match ends in a stalemate, we will proceed to extra time of 5mins halves (no breaks in-between), and if still tied after extra time, the winner will be decided via penalty kicks.
