Age Divisions and Fields
The tournament comprises four separate age divisions: U12, U15, U19 Boys, and U19 Girls. The field sizes will vary based on the age groupings. Each field will be divided in half by a mid-line, with a goal located at each end-line (goal sizes will vary depending on the age division).
Rules for Keeper Wars
Keeper Wars is a 1v1 tournament-style game.
Goalkeepers must remain within their own half of the field and are prohibited from crossing the mid-line.
The objective is to defend one's own goal while attempting to score in the opposition's goal through throwing, bowling, side volleying, or kicking the ball.
Each goalie has a time limit of 6 seconds to release the ball.
Goalkeepers may take unlimited steps within their own half of the field.
Play resumes immediately after a successful save, and goalkeepers can continue playing rebounds as long as the ball remains in their own half of the field.
A goal is awarded only when the ball completely crosses the goal line.
If the ball goes out of bounds, play restarts from the end line with the goalkeeper who did not touch the ball last.
Games consist of two halves, each lasting 3 minutes, with a 1-minute halftime break.
The winner of a game is determined by the goalkeeper who scores the most goals after the game's completion.
