On Sunday, November 16th, we held a MIX & Super Beginner Tournament at the Antlers Clubhouse Ground.
[Tournament Format & Rules]
- MIX teams must have at least one female player on the field, or Super Beginner teams must have at least two players of beginner level.
- No back-pass rule, female players' goals count for 2 points.
- 7-minute halves per match.
- 3-foul rule (a second penalty kick is awarded on the 3rd foul).
This tournament had 6 teams participating, divided into two groups of three teams for the preliminary league. Based on their results, teams were then separated into a championship league and a challenge league to determine their final rankings.
The groupings were Group A: "Plus Design," "CDK," and "Drogba Kindergarten"; Group B: "FC ADEKA," "Team Uchida," and "Sekkies." Since losing even one match would significantly reduce the chances of advancing to the championship league, every game was an intense and thrilling battle.
The challenge league consisted of "CDK," "Sekkies," and "Drogba Kindergarten."
"Drogba Kindergarten" won the challenge league, which saw exciting games in every match. Advancing to the championship league were "Plus Design," who won both preliminary matches, and "FC ADEKA," with one win and one draw. "Team Uchida" also advanced, having tied for second place in Group A in points and goal difference, but with a higher total number of goals. In the championship league, each team finished with one win, and the championship was decided by the direct match between "Plus Design" and "FC ADEKA."
That match ended in a 3-3 draw. With teams tied in points, "FC ADEKA" won the championship by a narrow margin of just one goal difference, bringing the tournament to a close.
