Football

Football [n]: A game in which the object is to move a ball into the space protected by a male solidarity. [The Feminist Dictionary]

Football, very simply put, is a game where players of two teams run after one ball with the purpose of putting the ball in the opposition net -- the team with more goals wins. You need to have legs to play this game. Have Legs, Will Kick!!!

Hall No Bar, Batch No Bar. And (new! improved!) Sex No Bar!!! This JOSH introduces a separate tournament for women.

[Trivia: Apparently football originated in medieval times, when people celebrated victory in battle by kicking their vanquished enemies' heads from one end of the village to another.]

Venue: Football Ground (opposite Swimming Pool)

Teams:

Men: 7 players per team.

Rules:

Standard football rules apply. The field and goals will be of reduced size, since this a 7-a-side tournament.
Each match is 30 + 5 minutes long (15 minutes per half + 5 minutes break).
No offsides.
No throw-ins (only kick-ins).
No Goalkeepers. If anybody is found handling the ball when the ball is heading for the goal, he shall be directly given a red card and a penalty will be awarded against his team.
In case of a draw, 3 penalty shots will be taken by each team to break the tie.
All penalties shall be taken on the full-size goal-posts.
The referee's decisions are final and anybody found unnecessarily arguing with the referee may be asked to leave the field.
Don't foul the opponent players or you'll be cautioned/sent off.
Teams must be punctual. There will be no delay in the matches -- the official time will be adhered to strictly. If at least seven members of a team are not present at the starting time of the match, a walkover shall be awarded to the other team. The decision of the coordinators shall be final in this regard.
Please come suitably kitted up. No one will be allowed to play in jeans. Also, no one will be allowed to play barefoot or in shoes other than football boots/sneakers (that means no hiking boots, no running spikes, no Red Tape: Fashion For Your Feet...).
For selecting lucky losers, the goal difference upto that stage shall be considered. In case two teams have equal goal differences, goals scored by each team upto that stage shall be considered. If these are also equal, then the goal differences in the teams' respective last matches shall be compared.
Other details will be clarified on the field by the referee and the organizers.
