Each of these partitions were further divided into a 16-team, invite-only championship division, an 8-team men's open division, and a 4-team women's open division. The championship divisions were divided into four groups of four teams each, the men's open group divided teams into two groups of four teams each, and the women's division placed all the teams into a 4-team group. All 4 divisions began with a round-robin tournament where each team played each of the other teams in their group once. Following this, the two best teams in each group in the championship division and men's open division advanced to a single-elimination, knockout round. All four teams in the women's open division advanced to their single-elimination, knockout round. The first metric for determining the best team was points, calculated first by giving a team 6 points for a win, 3 points for a tie, and 0 points for a loss. Then, a team could be awarded an addition point for a shutout and an additional point for every goal scored, up to a max of 3 goals per game. If teams were tied on points, the following criteria were used in order: Winner of head-to-head competition Greatest goal difference Most goals scored Coin toss The knockout stage was an 8-team tournament for the championship divisions and a 4-team tournament for the open divisions. Knockout stage games needed to declare a winner, so if one was tied at the end of regulation, overtime would begin. Overtime in the quarterfinals consisted of two, 5-minute, golden-goal periods while in the semifinals and finals, overtime consisted of two, 10-minute, golden-goal periods. If still tied after overtime, kicks from the mark would determine the winner. Pool play and quarterfinal games were two 40-minute halves, separated by a seven-minute halftime with the semifinals and finals also being 40-minute halves, but having a ten minute halftime. If a player received three yellow cards during the course of the tournament they would be suspended the following the game.Rules http://nirsa.org/nir14a22.htm#rul dead https://web.archive.org/web/19980713083548/http://nirsa.org/nir14a22.htm#rul 1998-07-13 NIRSA Qualification and selections NIRSA extended invitations to the 16 men's and 16 women's teams to participate in the championship division beginning on October 23, 1996 with those invitations being extended to who NIRSA believed were the best in the nation.
