What makes this tournament unique?

The "Twisted 4v4 Soccer Shootout" combines the traditional small-sided soccer game with a little bit of hockey. The goals are placed seven yards into the field of play, allowing the players of each team to play behind the net. This new "twist" to the game allows for a whole new set of challenges and oppotunities for creative play.

Who can play in "The Twisted 4v4 Soccer Shootout?"

This unique small-sided soccer tournament is a weekend soccer event open to players of ages 7 and up of all skill levels.

What are the age divisions/age requirements?

Each division listed has separate divisions for Co-Ed, Adult and Female. Ages U8-U19 also have separate divisions for Competitive and Recreational.

The age divisions/age requirements are as follows:

Team Brackets
Youth – All teams, regardless of gender ratio, will be assigned to the Open bracket. There are no Female or Co-Ed brackets in the Youth team categories, though teams containing all females or a mix of males and females are encouraged to participate.

Adult (Co-Ed, Female, or Open) – All adult teams, regardless of gender ratio, are eligible to play in the Open bracket. Therefore, Co-Ed teams (those having a minimum of two female players playing on the field at all times) can elect to play in the Open or the Co-Ed bracket. Female teams (those having all female players) may choose to participate in the Open or the Co-Ed or the Female bracket. Teams unable to compete in the Female and/or the Co-Ed brackets will automatically be placed in the Open bracket.

Adult (Over 30) – All adult teams, regardless of gender ratio, where each player is over 30 years, may elect to participate in the Adult – Over 30 bracket. They may also elect to play in the other Adult brackets, depending on the team’s gender ratio (see above).

What are the Rules for the Twisted 4v4 Soccer Shootout?

For the official rules, click here. Please make sure that all players and coaches read and understand the rules for the "Twisted 4v4 Soccer Shootout" before the tournament begins.

How are the divisions broken up?

Teams will be placed into divisions based upon age, gender and playing experience. Any team or player determined by the Tournament Director to have falsified age or skill level will be dismissed from the tournament and banned from play in any future Pinnacle Sports Tournaments, Inc. event. Teams that span more than one age group will be placed into the division of the oldest, most experienced player on the team. The tournament administration will make every effort to place teams into divisions with similar players.

What is the difference between recreational and competitive?

Teams are placed in divisions based on their players' competitive playing experience. Teams that have one or more players with any competitive experience will be bracketed in the competitive division. A team that qualifies as a recreational team at the Local and Regional event will be considered a recreational team at the National Championships. In effect, if a team qualifies before they play competitive soccer then they will play in the division for which they have qualified. A "recreational" team may opt to play in the competitive division.

How many players can I have on the roster?

You may carry a maximum of 6 players. A minimum of 4 players is required to participate in this event. The team entry fee is the same, regardless of number of players on team.

Do I have to have 6 players?

No, you may have between 4-6 players. The one or two additional players are substitutes.

Does each player need a player card?

Players do not need a player card to participate in the "Twisted 4v4 Soccer Shootout."   However, ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST CARRY PROOF OF AGE AT ALL TIMES.

Are numbers on jerseys required?

No, all players must wear similar team shirts (same color) during play and each team must bring both a light and dark colored shirt. If both teams are wearing the same color, a coin flip in pool play will determine which team must change.

Do we have to have a coach?

No coach is required if at least one player from the team is 18 years of age or older and accepts responsibility for potential player medical treatment issues. If no player from the team is 18 years or older, then an adult coach will be required.
