Game Rules

Games will be two 18 minute stop-time periods in length. There will be no overtime in round-robin play. 

If overtime is required:  A 10 minute sudden-victory period shall be used in all quarter final (1) and semi final (2).  Shoot-outs shall follow overtime periods when necessary.

Shoot Out procedure:

a)            Five shooters from each team shoot.  The highest overall score from the five shooters wins,

b)            If the score is still tied then the remaining players shoot (players 6-20).  The players go one to one for sudden death win, (should one team have less players then their opposition both teams will be permitted to start from player one)

c)             If the score is still tied, begin again from the player one and continue until everybody has again been used.  Continue this one to one procedure until there is a winner in this sudden death shootout.

All championship games will be played to a sudden victory if tied after regulation until a winner is determined with 10 minute periods.

Mercy Rule – However, only a seven goal differential will be shown on final statistics during all round-robin games as all the games will be played in their entirety.   If a five goal spread is reached in the second period the clock will be running time until the goal differential is reduced below 5 goals. 

We are using the goals for + goals against divided into goals for percentages for the event so it is far more important to keep your teams goals against down.
