However, only Semifinals and Championship matches on Saturday will observe the 80 minute regulation time plus two five-minute overtime periods and penalty kicks if necessary. The Saturday 5th-11th Place matches will consist of two 30-minute halves and no overtime periods.

*** Should Farragut-TN reach the Semifinals, then the Admirals' opponent in the Semifinals will play in the Championship because FHS has to return to Knoxville for their school prom that night. Farragut, should they qualify for the Semifinals, will automatically play in the 8:30 a.m., Saturday contest.
