[[game-procedure-and-length-of-a-game]]
=== Game procedure and length of a game

RCJ Soccer SuperTeam games consist of two teams of robots playing soccer
against each other. Each team has five autonomous robots. The game will consist
of two halves. The duration of each half is 10-minutes. There will be a
5-minute break in between the halves.

The game clock will run for the duration of the halves without stopping (except
when a referee wants to consult another official). The game clock will be
run by a referee or a referee assistant.

SuperTeams are expected to be at the field 5 minutes before their game starts. Being
at the inspection table does not count in favor of this time limit. Teams that
are late for the start of the game may be penalized one goal *per 30 seconds*
at the referee’s discretion.

The final game score will be trimmed so that there is at most 10-goal
difference between the losing and the winning team.

In these cases the team that is free from play is awarded a Bye. In SuperTeam
matches where fewer goals are scored the Bye is awarded as a 3:0 victory instead
of the usual 10:0. Contact your regional/super-regional tournament organizers for
details at tournaments other than the international RoboCupJunior tournament.++}

[[pre-match-meeting]]
=== Pre-match meeting

At the start of the first half of the game, a referee will toss a coin. The
team mentioned first in the draw shall call the coin. The winner of the toss
can choose either which end to kick towards, or to kick off first. The loser of
the toss chooses the other option. After the first half, teams switch sides.
The SuperTeam not kicking off in the first half of the game will kick off to
begin the second half of the game.
link:https://robocup-junior.github.io/soccer-rules/master/rules.html[RoboCupJunior Soccer Rules] rule <<pre-match-meeting>> applies.

During the pre-match meeting the referee or their assistant may check whether
the robots are capable of playing (i.e., whether they are at least able to
follow and react to the ball). If none of the robots is capable of playing, the
game will not be played and zero goals will be awarded to both SuperTeams.

[[human-interference]]
=== Human interference

Except for the kick-off, human interference from SuperTeam members (e.g.
touching the robots) during the game is not allowed unless explicitly permitted
by a referee. Violating SuperTeam(s) / SuperTeam member(s) may be disqualified from
the game.

The referee or a referee assistant can help robots get unstuck if the ball is
not being disputed near them and if the situation was created from normal
interaction between robots (i.e. it was not a design or programming flaw of the
robot alone). The referee or a referee assistant will pull back the robots just
enough for them to be able to move freely again.
