The Dillsburg Dual Shootout is an annual soccer tournament held on Columbus Day weekend. The tournament was started in 1992 for the purpose of raising funds for the Dillsburg Area Soccer Club. Thirty-two male teams played a unique world cup format that first year. Girls were added the second year as interest grew in this new type of tournament play. The tournament now involves 296 teams from all over Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland. We have 6 different age groups for both boys and girls. The tournament uses 10 different sites with 37 fields from several different municipalities all around the local area. We distribute 2000 tournament programs, attract over 9000 people to the area, and use 200 referees to officiate the 4500 youth soccer players who play 945 soccer matches. 

The Tournament's World Cup format features two rounds of play.

Qualification Round: Teams will be randomly placed into Four or Six Team Pools for a round-robin tournament format. Each team plays three 20-minute games. Teams are awarded points based on their wins, losses, and ties. Total points earned are used to seed the teams into Six or Eight Team Divisions for the Championship round of play.

Championship Round: Each six or eight team division will start its own series of championship elimination games on Saturday afternoon. The winning teams will advance into Sunday’s winners’ bracket and the losing teams will move into the losers’ bracket. In Sunday's Championship round's elimination format; one team will advance from the losers’ bracket to challenge the team from the winners’ bracket for the division championship. Teams will play at least 3 championship round games. All games are now 40-minute games and drawn matches are decided by the Dillsburg Dual Shootout format.
