All the players from given penalty squad list (7 players) must execute the penalty kick and then the series is repeated from the beginning of the given list. One player must not execute two penalties after one another. If one team have less than 7 players in the squad, penalty series will be determined by lower number of players e.g. one team has 5 players and the other 7 players, penalty series will be repeated after 5th round, if it is still not decided.

IMPORTANT NOTICES!
We request all the team assistants, coaches, goal navigators not to enter the pitch during the match neither when goal is scored nor in case of time-out. In case of injuries, referees and health service will judge the importance and then they can allow team assistants to enter and help on the pitch. This above-mentioned breech will be qualified as team foul and team assistant can get yellow card.
All B2 and B3 players will be double eye-patched. B1 players will be eye patched only in case medical documents is provided by the player to the local organiser at Friday technical meeting, they can get the exception.
Assistant referee will always check the eye patches and eye shades of all the players who enter the pitch during the match at the beginning and at the substitutions. If any discrepancy is found, player will not be allowed to enter the pitch until the moment all is sorted out.
Special rule about eye shades will be applied at this tournament. If player will touch his / her eye shades without being permitted by the referee, team will be penalised by personal and team foul. Player must shout at the referee: Referee eye shades!!! After the player is checked by the referee, match can continue.
Draw for ball and side must take place at the half-time of previous match prior to each match at referees table so we require team captains to be on time for draw. If one team captain is not present, other team captain may choose without waiting under the assistance of one of two delegated referees.
Matches will be played with Italian and/or Danish balls.
