By registering for the tournament, you confirm that you have read and agree to the general conditions of participation.
The tournament will be played according to the “IX. Rules of the Game for Indoor Handball (IHF)”,
edition: 01 July 2024 with the following additions/ references (as of 17/12/2024):
- Playing time, placing in the group matches
The playing time is 2 x 15 minutes. After the final signal of the first half, there is no change of sides,
only a change of the right to throw off. The half-time interval shall be 1 minute.
In the group matches, the following criteria shall be used to determine the ranking in the order given:
1.) points ratio
2.) direct comparison
3.) goal difference
4.) number of goals scored
Should none of the above criteria result in a decision on the placement, the teams concerned shall
immediately after the announcement compete in a 7-metre throw according to IHF Rule 2.2.
If there is a draw in the deciding matches (with the exception of the final day) at the end of the
regular playing time, a 7-metre throw is immediately carried out according to IHF Rule 2.2.
On the final day, if the score is tied, an extra time of 2 x 3 minutes will be played first. If the score is
still tied after that, a 7-metre throw will be taken according to IHF Rule 2.2.
There is no team time-out; likewise, there is no compulsory time-out at suspensions. - Throw-off times
The games must start at the times stated in the match schedule in the named sports hall. Unauthorised
postponements will result in the loss of the match for both teams. If a team does not arrive on time for a
match, the match will be considered lost for that team.
The tournament management shall decide on a case-by-case basis whether to exclude a team from the
tournament and to forfeit the deposit. - Throw-off and match ball
The first throw-off in the first half is always taken by the first named team. They shall position
themselves on the left of the court (as seen from the timekeeper/ secretary’s table).
On the final day, in the event of extra time, the first-named team shall also have the throw-off in the first
half.
The match ball is provided by the tournament management and is to be handed in to the
timekeeper/secretary without being asked after the match.
- Teams
A team list of each team must be submitted in ProCup before the start of the tournament. The age groups
of the 2025/2026 season are valid. The player ID number of each player must be entered. (Only if
there is no player ID number, enter the player’s date of birth in the field without a separator. For coaches
and support staff, for example, a ‘0’ can be entered.) From the quarterfinals onwards, the player ID
cards of the players must be presented to the tournament management on request. Players who cannot
present a valid player ID card may not be fielded. The tournament management reserves the right to
carry out random checks on the player ID cards. Due to various incidents in the past, this control
may also take place during the group phase.
Each player may only play in 1 team of his age group.
On the final day, only players who have already played in the same team during the tournament may be
fielded. - Disqualifications
Disqualification without report according to IHF Rules 8.5., 8.9. or 16.6.d. are match penalties and do
not lead to a suspension.
A disqualification with a report must be submitted by the referee to the tournament committee
immediately after the end of the match. The tournament committee decides on the length of the
suspension. This can lead to a complete ban from the tournament and can also include the exclusion of
the team. - Objections
Appeals against the game schedule, the scoring of the games and/ or decisions of the referees are not
permitted. There is no later review of the games using the video recording. - Player injury
Contrary to IHF Rule 4.11, an injured player may continue to participate in the game immediately after
he has been treated on the court and does not have to leave the court. - Offensive play
For the games of the youths D and C, the “Implementing Regulations for a Uniform Competition
Structure” of the DHB (German Handball Federation) do not apply!
Time penalties and disqualifications are associated with a reduction of the team on the court in all age
groups.
- Use of adhesives
The use of adhesives of any kind is forbidden in all games of the youths D and C. In case of violation of
this rule, the cleaning costs will be charged to the offender and the deposit will be forfeited.
In the youths B and A, only the adhesive provided by the tournament management is allowed, which is
made available at the timekeeper’s/ secretary’s table.
Adhesive deposits on shoes, bandages or other places are prohibited and will lead to the immediate
complete tournament ban of the player concerned. In addition, any cleaning costs incurred as a result of this or the use of adhesive other than that provided will be charged to the offender and the deposit will be forfeited.
The referees are expressly authorised by the tournament management to enforce the regulations on the use of adhesives. Their instructions in this respect – as well as those of the tournament management and the timekeepers – must be followed without restriction. The tournament management is represented in the halls by the hall coordinators.
- Additional powers of the tournament management
The tournament management may issue further regulations in individual cases if this is necessary for the
orderly running of the tournament after weighing up the interests of the participants. - Data protection
