Another round of invitations will be sent out shortly.

The tournament will follow the mini 7vs7 soccer rules as observed in the Croatian Summer League (please see the summer league website at Hrvatski Ljetni Nogometni Turnir | or see the attached mini soccer rules attachment). A quick overview of the rules for the games:

• 7 players a side (including goalie)
• 50 minute games (2 – 25 min halves)
• No offsides
• No slide tackling (no sliding for the ball in general in close relation to another opponent). This will result in a immediate foul and yellow card.
• Unprofessional behaviour towards the match official will not be tolerated
• No thow-ins, all replays when the ball leaves the field of play will start with a free kick from the determined spot.
• Substitutions can only be made during a stoppage of play with the approval of the official.

The format and number of games will be determined and finalized when the teams have been determined.

The Croatian picnic ground also consists of a small playground and plenty of space for kids and family to come out and enjoy the weekend while enjoying some competitive soccer.

Was there just not enough interest Sniper or other reasons for the event to be cancelled?

Unfortunate - the lower mainland needs a few more tourneys on these summer long weekends!
