→Leagues
Normally teams are awarded two points for a win, one for a draw, and zero for a loss. However, you may wish to experiment with other systems which have been considered, such as scoring ten points for a win, five for a draw, and zero for a loss, with each side also being awarded one point for each goal scored. Thus, if a game ends with a score of 1 to 0, the winning team is awarded eleven points and the losing team, zero. In a seven-seven draw, both teams are awarded twelve points.
====Elimination Tournament====
An elimination tournament is played in a series of rounds. Each team only plays one other team in a round, and the winner goes forward to the next round. As the rounds progress, the number of teams playing is divided by two until eventually the final round is held between two teams. Printed below is a chart to record the results in each round and to show which team goes forward into the next round. The chart is set up for eight teams; however, you can start with more teams or with fewer teams. If there is an odd number of teams competing in any round, one of the teams is given a "bye." This means that it goes through to the next round automatically without playing a game. To determine who plays whom and also which team gets a bye, hold a drawing. After the first round of competition, you can either draw from all the winning teams from the first round, or you can set up the chart so that the winner of the first game in the previous round plays the winner of the second game in the previous round and so on.
