Copa Alliance tournament staff will closely monitor weather conditions before and throughout the tournament and will communicate any weather related updates to coaches and team managers as quickly as possible.
All weather related suspensions, evacuations, and returns to play at Paradise Coast Sports Complex will follow Paradise Coast Sports Complex and Collier County policies and procedures. All participants and spectators must immediately follow instructions provided by facility staff, tournament staff, security, or law enforcement.
If the facility is evacuated due to severe weather or lightning, teams and spectators must immediately leave the playing areas and seek appropriate shelter. Teams may not return to the fields until Paradise Coast Sports Complex and tournament officials have authorized a return to play.
Tournament schedule updates resulting from weather delays will be communicated through the tournament website, GotSport, email, and text messaging when applicable.
In the event weather or field conditions affect tournament play, the Tournament Committee may:
Reschedule or relocate a match.
Shorten the duration of a match.
Determine a match by kicks from the penalty mark when necessary.
Cancel a match.
A match that has started and is subsequently suspended may be considered complete if at least one half has been played or if the first half cannot be completed before the scheduled start of the next match on that field. The score at the time play is suspended will be considered the final score.
A match that has not started and is canceled rather than postponed will be recorded as a 0 to 0 tie and will not be rescheduled.
If the Tournament Director determines that preliminary round matches must be decided by kicks from the penalty mark due to weather or field conditions, each team will take a maximum of five kicks.
The result will be recorded as a 1 to 0 win for the team scoring more kicks or a 0 to 0 tie if the teams remain tied after five kicks. Tournament standings will award three points for a win, one point for a tie, and zero points for a loss.
If weather or field conditions affect a Final, the Tournament Committee may relocate or reschedule the match, shorten the match, or determine the result through kicks from the penalty mark.
A Final that has started and is subsequently suspended may be considered complete if at least one half has been played or if the first half cannot be completed before the scheduled start of the next match on that field.
If a Final cannot be started or is suspended while tied and cannot be completed, the Champion and Finalist may be determined using final group standings and the tournament tiebreaking procedures established in the Copa Alliance Tournament Rules.
Paradise Coast Sports Complex and Collier County weather and facility safety procedures take precedence over tournament scheduling considerations.
Weather can create unavoidable scheduling challenges. We appreciate the patience and cooperation of coaches, team managers, players, and families while safety decisions and schedule updates are communicated.
