The 2024 Southeast Collegiate Soccer Alliance Regional Tournament was the 14th edition of the Southeast Collegiate Soccer Alliance's postseason club soccer tournament, which was held at Jonesville Soccer Complex in Gainesville, Florida from November 1-3, 2024. A tournament was held for each the men's and women's divisions, with each tournament champion and runner-up receiving an automatic bid to the 2024 NIRSA National Soccer Championships' championship division. The remaining bid for each division was given out based on RPI, with a special consideration to this tournament's performance.

Format

[edit]

The tournament consisted of twelve women's teams and sixteen men's teams. Each divisional champion received an automatic bid (6 for the women and 8 for the men) with the remaining wild card teams being the next highest RPI ranked teams that had not already qualified. Teams were divided into groups based on RPI.

For the men's division group stage, the 16 teams were split into four groups of four teams each. Each team played every other team in their group meaning a total of 6 games were played within a group. For the women's division group stage, the 12 teams were split into four groups of three teams each. Each team played 2 games against teams in their group. The top two teams from each group advanced to the single elimination quarterfinal round.

Pool play games were two 35-minute halves, separated by a seven-minute halftime and utilized the three points for a win system. After pool play, the two highest ranked teams from each group advanced to their respective gender division's knockout stage.

Tie-breaking criteria for group play
The ranking of teams in each group was based on the following criteria in order:
  1. Highest number of points
  2. Winner of head-to-head competition
  3. Greatest goal difference
    • Maximum ± 5 goal difference per match
  4. Most goals scored
  5. Most shutouts
  6. Coin flip (No penalty shootout for group stage standings)

Knockout stage games also consisted of two 35-minute halves. The quarterfinals were separated by a seven-minute halftime while the semifinals and finals had a ten-minute halftime. Knockout stage games needed to declare a winner. If a knockout-stage game was tied at the end of regulation, overtime would begin. Overtime consisted of one, 15-minute, golden-goal period. If still tied after overtime, kicks from the mark would determine the winner.[1]
