Tournament Rules

Games are 2 x 20 min halves with half time three minutes in duration. Boys and Girls Championship games will be 2 x 25 mins. We'll try to give everyone at minimum 5 minutes for warmup, but that may be shortened if we are running behind. 

Each team is allowed three time outs per game.  A team can use a maximum of two time outs per half and can only use one in the last three minutes of the game.

If jerseys are similarly coloured, the "home" team will be required to wear pinnies (provided by SPA).

Ties in round robin end as a tie. Ties in play-offs will go into 2 x 2 minute overtime with no half time break. If still tied, there will be a three player shoot-out, and if still tied after three shooters, a sudden death shootout will take place.

Two points will be awarded for a win, one point for a tie, and zero points for a loss per match.

You can dress as many players as you want for the tournament.

If two or more teams are tied at the end of round robin play, the following tie breaker order will take place – head-to-head win, then goals for and against between the teams, then goals for and against in round robin, then most goals for in round robin, then least goals against in round robin. If still tied a coin toss will take place by the tournament chair.
