    GENERAL RULES

    Unless modified by this set of rules, all games shall be played in accordance with the most current F.I.F.A. rules. All decisions of the referee are final and binding. The Tournament Committee, the Virginia Revolution Soccer Club, and the Virginia Youth Soccer Association will not be responsible for any expenses incurred by any team or club if the tournament is canceled in whole or part. Any team that cancels their registration for the tournament before acceptances are sent out will receive a full refund if a written notice has been received by the Revolution Cup Tournament Director. Any team that cancels after acceptances have been sent out will not receive any refund of fees under any circumstances. The Tournament Director reserves the right to decide on all matters pertaining to the tournament, and the director’s judgment is final. Any team that disregards any decision by the Tournament Committee (including the inclement weather policy) will be automatically dropped from the tournament and forfeit all remaining games.
