If a fifth yellow card is accumulated during the OAC tournament, suspension occurs after the eighth violation. Any player who was ejected in the last regular-season game must sit out at least one playoff match (two if ejected for fighting).
OVERTIME
Please note that in the event of a tie at the end of regulation, there shall be (up to) two 10-minute sudden-victory overtime periods. If there is still a tie at the end of the overtimes, the score will be officially recorded as such, and we shall then employ the penalty kick tiebreaker outlined in the NCAA rules in order to determine a winner.
WEATHER/DAYLIGHT OR UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES
Regarding weather or daylight, once the match has started, there will be a declared winner. If the match is cancelled before the 70th minute, the higher seed automatically wins/advances. If the match goes beyond the 70th minute, whoever is ahead will win/advance (or the higher seed if it is tied). If the game cannot be started within 24 hours, for any reason, the higher seed shall be declared the winner and shall advance.
