Mayor's Cup

Under-9's to Under-14's

November 26th to December 2nd, 2012

The Mayor's Cup tournament is an annual event to determine the Tustin AYSO regional champion who advances to compete with the other six regions in Area Q. This single elimination tournament for divisions under-9 through under-14 is seeded from the results of the regular season. Please note that referee points count toward this seeding. Teams from other regions who combined with us for the Fall season are not eligible as this tournament is to determine the Tustin AYSO champion.

All games are played under standard rules for Tustin AYSO with the below changes. You may also download the Print Version of these rules.

Please remember that only those players remaining on the field at end of regulation can take part in the kicks to determine a winner.

Championship matches will play two full 5-minute extra time periods (not sudden victory). If there is still no winner after extra time then the match will go to FIFA Kicks From The Penalty Mark (aka penalty kicks).

Minimum playing time for the Mayor's Cup is 2 quarters as part of the published region policy: Playing Time in Tustin AYSO.
