Tophat World Cup Procedures for “Penalty
Shootout”
The following is a summary of the procedure for kicks from the penalty mark.
The procedure is specified in FIFA's booklet
Laws of the Game,
not as one of the 17 numbered laws, but within the supplementary section
Procedures to Determine the Winner of a Match.
-
The team to take the first kick is decided by a coin toss and the
referee chooses the goal at which the kicks are taken. All kicks are
taken at one goal to ensure that both teams' kick-takers and goalkeepers
face the same pitch irregularities (if any).
-
All players other than the kicker and the goalkeepers must remain in the
pitch's center circle.
-
Each kick is taken in the general manner of a penalty kick. Each kick is
taken from the penalty mark, with the goal defended only by the opposing
goalkeeper. The goalkeeper must remain between the goal-posts on her
goal-line until the ball has been kicked, although she can jump in
place, wave her arms, move side to side along the goal line or otherwise
try to distract the shooter.
-
Each kicker can kick the ball only once per attempt. If the ball is
saved by the goalkeeper the kicker cannot score from the rebound (unlike
a normal penalty kick). Similarly, if the ball bounces off the goal
posts, the kicker cannot score from the rebound.
-
Teams take turns to kick from the penalty mark in an attempt to score a
goal, until each has taken five kicks. However, if one side has scored
more goals than the other could possibly reach with all of their
remaining kicks, the shootout ends regardless of the number of kicks
remaining.
-
If at the end of these five rounds of kicks the teams have scored an
equal number of goals, sudden death rounds of one kick each are used
until one side scores and the other does not.
-
Only players who were on the pitch at the end of play are allowed to
take kicks. (For Tophat World Cup, all players
on the team will be allowed to kick, however the last bullet point will
still apply.) A substitution can only be made in the case of
injury to a goalkeeper during the kicks, provided the team has not
already used the maximum number of substitutes allowed by the
competition.
-
No player is allowed to take a second kick from the penalty mark until
all other eligible players on his team have taken a first kick, even the
goalkeeper.
-
If at the beginning of kicks from the penalty mark one side has more
players on the pitch than the other, then the side with more players
must select an appropriate number of players who will not take part. For
example, if Team A has 11 players but Team B only has 10, then Team A
will choose one player who will not take part. Players deselected cannot
play any part in the procedure: so a goalkeeper cannot be deselected
from kicking while retained for saving. This applies whether players are
absent through injury or being sent off. The rule was introduced by the
IFAB in February 2000 because previously an eleventh kick would be taken
by the eleventh (i.e. weakest) player of a full-strength team and the
first (i.e. strongest) player of a sub-strength team.
