MNJ Finalizing Playoff Preparations

2023 Spring Playoffs

As previously announced, MNJYSA will hold Divisional Playoffs at the conclusion of the Spring 2023 season. Only Flights 1 through 4 are eligible to participate (U11 thru U19 only---no playoffs for U14G, U16G or U18/19G).

TO PROPERLY DETERMINE FLIGHT WINNERS, ALL SCORES MUST BE REPORTED BY MONDAY, JUNE 12TH AT 12:00 NOON. If scores are reported sooner, and flight winners can be determined earlier, MNJ will notify opponents in case they are able to play sooner than next Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.

Semifinal Rules

Division semifinal matchups will be posted no later than Tuesday, morning, June 13th. Division semifinal matches must be played by Thursday, June 15th. Higher flighted teams will host  division semifinal matches (for divisions with 4 flights: Flt 1 hosts Flt 4 & Flt 2 hosts Flt 3, for U12G: Flt 2 hosts Flt 3, and--at the risk of overstating the obvious--no semifinals for divisions with 2 flights). ALL division semifinal matches will be 30 minute halves and 5 minute halftime. If teams are tied after regulation, two 5 minute overtime periods will be played with golden goal, followed by FIFA Kicks from the mark, if necessary. Semifinalists will split the referee fees, which will conform to the regular, age-specific referee fee structure used during the season.

Championship Rules

All Championship matches will take place on Saturday, June 17th in East Brunswick. ALL Championship round matches will adhere to regular, division-specific durations (U11/U12: 30-minute halves, U13/U14: 35-minute halves, U15/U16: 40-minute halves, and U18/U19: 45-minute halves). If teams are tied after regulation, two 5 minute overtime periods will be played with golden goal, followed by FIFA Kicks from the mark, if necessary. MNJYSA will cover referee fees for all championship matches.

Club passes will be honored for playoff participation, as well as Secondary Permission Player Forms approved by MNJ President during the 2022/23 soccer year.
