Clarification on substitutions and timing procedures to follow at all NJCAA soccer games
Substitutions:
1. Unlimited substitutions (NJCAA exception to the NCAA rule).
- A team may sub on their own throw-in, their own corner kick, and any goal kick.
- If the proper team does sub, and the other team has a sub waiting at half-field, they may also sub at that time.
- Subs should always be waiting a half-field to enter the game, not in front of their team bench.
- When a player receives a yellow card, a substitute must report for this player, until the next legal substitution period. This includes the goalkeeper.
Timing Procedures:
1. The clock does not stop during substitutions (Exception to the NCAA rule).
- The clock only stops on goals, injuries where the referee indicates stoppage of play, and when the referee is issuing caution and ejection cards (referee indicates stoppage of play).
- In the last five minutes of the game, if the team that’s ahead makes a substitution, the game clock is stopped. No stoppage of the clock shall occur if the game is tied or if the team is behind makes a substitute.
- At the end of the game, the clock operator is to call out the last ten seconds, and sound the horn, indicating the end of the match.
Overtime:
1. TWO-Ten minute sudden-death periods
