SOCCER
Section 1. All conference schools participating in Soccer shall follow the IHSA Terms and Conditions.
Section 2. Conference Champion:
A. There will be one (1) champion for Soccer, with the champions being determined by a won-lost percentage of all SVC conference games. If a tie exists co-champions will be recognized.
B. To be a championship contender a school must have played all games on the SVC master schedule, unless the make-up game(s) has no bearing on determining the championship.
If a game can not be played due to scheduling conflicts and all reasonable attempts have been made to reschedule the game(s), the tie breaker will be head to head amongst the teams tied. If this does not resolve the tie, then co-champions will be declared.
C. Tie Breaker: If an SVC regular season match ends in a tie
at the end of regulation play the following procedure will be used to break the
tie:
1. A 10 minute overtime
period will be played—the first team to score will be declared the winner.
2. If at the end of the 10
minute overtime, the score is still tied, a shootout
will take place to determine the winner.
Section 3. The Soccer schedule shall be established two years in advance by the Executive Secretary. Dates will be determined by the Athletic Directors. Any changes in the SVC Master Schedule must be by mutual consent of both schools and any changes reported to the Executive Secretary.
Section 4. Selection for All-Conference teams
for Soccer.
A. Soccer coaches may nominate up to up to fifteen (15) players.
B. Each head coach shall submit nominations for their team for
all-conference consideration. Coaches may submit statistical and descriptive
information, and this information will be considered at a meeting of the
coaches to be held on a date determined by the Legislative body. Each head
coach may compile individual statistics for each player nominated. This
information should be for Conference Varsity games only. A list of each
coach's nominations shall be delivered to the Executive Secretary at least 2
days prior to the scheduled meeting. A coach may make changes at the meeting.
The nominations will be discussed and voted on by secret ballot at the
meeting. All ballots will be returned to
the Executive Secretary and shall be available for review by the coaches at the
meeting.
C. Soccer coaches shall vote for up to fifteen (15). The top fifteen (15) Soccer players will make the first team.
D. Special/Honorable Mention. Any of
the remaining nominees who receive two (2) or more votes will receive Special
Mention.
After all voting is complete, each coach may name one (1) additional player from
his/her team to Honorable Mention.
E. A coach may not vote for his/her own players.
F. The executive secretary shall not make public release of the All-Conference Team until all conference schools have been eliminated from the State Tournament Series
