Vejlefjord IFT additions to the regulations
Referees
- Referees are hired from DBU’s pool of available refs. We understand that the referees are not infallible but their decisions will be taken as final, regardless of their ability to referee. Arguing with any of the referees will not be tolerated.
- Disobeying: Arguing with a referee, will result in being sent off the pitch immediately or in a worse case scenario being disqualified from the tournament.
- VAR: Even though the event is filmed there is no active VAR (Video Assisted Referee), so on principle don’t expect to be given a second opinion
Shoes
As mention in the below rules by DBU non-marking shoes are not allowed this includes all shoes with black souls. Yellow are or light souls are preferred.

Cf.. Football Law and tournament rules.
§ 3. Players
A team consists of 4 players plus up to three replacement players.
A match may not start if either team consists of fewer than three players.
On a team there is no real goalkeeper, since no player is intentionally allowed to play ball with the hand or arm.
Substitution should take place from the tournament directors designated place and can take place anytime.
While the ball is in play, a “new” player can not enter the court until the “replaced” the player has completely left.
Incorrect substitution reduces the offending by one player.
A player may be expelled:
1. Without the use of cards (excluded for the next scoring – can then be reinstated or replaced by another player).
2. With the use of yellow card (excluded for the rest of the game – can be replaced by another player after scoring).
3. With the use of the red card (excluded for the rest of the game and the team’s remaining games on the same day – can be replaced by another player in the remaining matches).
At tournaments where there is a disciplinary panel present, the quarantine duration of the “red card” is set by said panel.
If a team has all players sent off, the opponents are allowed to score within 10 seconds. The game is restarted by the referee who lets the ball fall on the centre spot. If a goal is scored, the suspended players can be reinstated.
If no goal is scored, the game is stopped and the suspended players can be reinstated or replaced as after a goal, and the referee restarts with a drop ball on the centre spot.

Thereafter, there may be a maximum of 3 players in their own half.
Tournament Management determines which team takes the kick-off.
Should the referee stop the game because of a player injury or other outside agent, the game resumes with a free kick – fair play free kick – to the team that the referee finds would probably be in possession of the ball, if that interruption situation had not arisen.
The resumption takes place where the ball was at the time of the interruption, see. However, §§ 12 and 13.
A goal cannot be scored scored directly from kick-off or fair play free kick, but if the ball hits the barrier and then enters the goal, the goal will stand.

4. Acquire an advantage by deliberately holding the barrier.
5. Illegal substitution.

7. Playing the ball in the ceiling, hitting lights, beams or the likewise over the pitch (does not cause expulsion).
8. After a penalty kick, the penalty taker plays the ball before it is touched by another player. After kick-offs, free kicks, throw-ins, goal kicks and corner throws the taker plays the ball again before it is touched by another player or the barrier (does not cause expulsion).
Should the offence take place in his own penalty area, there shall be a penalty if the offence is committed against an opponent, a team-mate, reserve, replaced player, official or the referee, or the ball is intentionally played with the hand or arm.
Other offences in his own penalty area are punishable by a free kick from the point on the dotted 3-meter line, which is closest to the place where the offence was committed.
Prior to a possible decision under. Paragraph. 1, no. 6, the referee usually forewarns this by raising an arm in the air.
Yellow and red cards are used by the rules of Football Law, § 12, although with denial of goal or obvious scoring opportunity only yellow card is awarded.
Playing the ball intentionally out of bounds, at the ceiling, toward lights, beams or likewise in order to slow down the game, this will be considered unsportsmanlike behaviour.

§ 15. The Throw in
The thrower must be positioned inside the barrier, such that at least one foot is in close proximity to it.
The thrower cannot use the side barrier, from where the throw is taken as “partner” and thus again play the ball.
A goal cannot not be scored directly from a throw, but if the ball hits the barrier and then crosses the goal line, the goal stands.
With an improperly executed throw, a throw in is awarded to the opponents.
§ 16 The Goal kick
With a Goal kick the opponents must be outside the dotted 3-meter line.
