dumb soccer question

if a game is won 4-2 on penalty kicks in high school, what's the official final score?

 

Here's what I've heard...

If the game is tied 1-1 before PKs, the winner of the PKs is awarded one goal, making the final score 2-1. But you're dealing with HS soccer, so who knows.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Gracias. That's what i thought. Now, go back to your MMA

 

playoff game, ended 0-0, home team won on PKs 4-2 to advance.

 

My MMA?

I used to cover Massanutten Military Academy. I enjoy watching Mixed Martial Arts. Can you be more specific?

 

that's pretty much how i wrote it.
I'm sure some futbol expert will call me if it's wrong.
thanks for the help, ya'll

 

We've had this discussion before, and it was concluded that different high school associations will have their own rules on this.

 

That's the perfect way to write it.

What I've seen is that only regular season tournament games use a shootout. In pool play you get 3 points for a regulation win, 2 for a shootout win, 1 for a shootout loss and none for a regulation loss to try and avoid teams being tied on points.

Once it gets to the knockout rounds it's used as normal to determine who advances. However, in both instances, the team that lost the shootout gets to count it as a tie in their record.

 

There are high school associations that use pool play?

 

In Texas, it's up to individual districts to determine whether to break regular-season ties. So it's a mixed bag: some use the shootout method that MLS used years ago, some use overtime, some use a combination, some call a tie a tie. Moddy's description of how to write it is spot on. It can be real hard to boil down to a scoreline, however.
