Hockey Tournament Rules
Total Goals Against: 4
Percentage: 10 / 14 = .714
- There must be at least 5 "A" players dressed for each game.
- There will be no ties, after a tied game we will go right to a 3 player/side shoot out. If still tied it will go to sudden death 1 player/side, each team will get to have at least 1 shot. Each player may only shoot once until entire team has shot. In round robin games the home team gets choice of shooting first or second. In elimination games, highest ranked team gets choice of shooting first or second.
- For final playoff positions (placings)
- Tie Breaking formula:
- Record between teams first
- If still tied, the team with the most wins in the round robin gains the higher position
- If still tied the team with the best goal average would qualify. The goal average of a team is determined by dividing the total number of goals for by the total number of goals for and against. (Shootout victory will add one goal to your total)
- NOTE: All round robin games are counted.
Total Goals Against: 4
Percentage: 10 / 14 = .714
- If still tied, the team to qualify would be the team which scored the earliest goal in their first game;
- If still tied, the team to qualify would be the team that received the least minutes in penalties (all round robin games); and
- If still tied after all previous methods have been applied, the winner will be decided by a single toss of a coin.
- Note: In the event that more than two teams are tied, once the tie breaking rules have been used to place the highest ranked team, the procedure to break the remaining tie(s) will be to revert back to the beginning criteria.
- Games are 3 x 12 min stopped time periods with no flood. No timeouts.
- Minor A hockey rules apply - Note: Checking minor is 2min plus a 10min misconduct. 3 minor penalties by the same player in a game is a game misconduct.
- This is a school sanctioned/friendship tournament so school staff need to remind the players that school rules also apply.
- All referees are minor hockey officials.
- There will be a tournament Committee member at all games to answer questions.
- All schools will need to send a non-coaching representative to each game to help with supervision.
- We would also like each school to remind students that kitbags are not welcome at the games.
